The Karapiro Conference centre is the main centre for the Work of the International School of the Golden Rosycross in New Zealand. Set in park-like surroundings in the quiet lakeside village of Karapiro, in the Waikato region of the North Island of New Zealand, the centre functions both as the main Conference facility for the Work in Australasia, and also as the public work centre for the Waikato region.

The property was originally built as the workers quarters for the construction of the Karapiro Hydroelectric Power Station and Dam on the Waikato River, which flows beside the property. The property was purchased in 1992 by the group of New Zealand pupils, and the centre buildings have since been upgraded to accommodate the Work of the School, with a consecrated Temple seating 100 people, and accommodation facilities for 30 people.

The public work at the Karapiro Centre includes Introductory Talks, Courses and Contemplative Meetings where interested persons are able to meet pupils of the School and experience the atmosphere of the Centre and Temple. In addition to the public work at the Karapiro Centre, public presentations and opportunities to meet with pupils of the School are offered in Hamilton and Auckland, and in other regional centres from time to time. Information Packs and Introductory Courses are also available by correspondence for those who are not able to attend in person.

The Karapiro Centre is not open to the public except as part of the scheduled public work programme, but interested persons are warmly invited to contact us at any time for further information.
