Amazing opportunity for Senior Middleton Grange Pupils

This summit is designed to celebrate the close relationship between the sister cities in New Zealand and China. It brings together the youth of two very different cultures who share the same desire to understand each other and work towards a better world.

As our next generation of leaders, their skills will be tested, knowledge sharpened and perspective broadened. They will be encouraged to take on a global outlook and reflect on how, as our future leaders, they can work together to tackle the challenges facing our changing world.

The Summit is now in its third year. After two very successful summits in the sister cities of Auckland and Qingdao, we are delighted that Christchurch, sister city of Wuhan, will be the proud hosts for 2019.

Summit organisers are calling for applications form Senior pupils aged 15 to 19 or Year 11, 12 and 13 at school. Applicants are carefully selected and must be recommended by their school. A written reference is required.

One of our current Year 12 pupils, Madi Millar, attended the first Summit in Auckland. This is what she says: “In 2017 I had the pleasure of attending the 2017 New Zealand China Youth Leadership Summit in Auckland. This was a 3-day event where I got to meet like-minded students from across NZ and China. The Summit had a business and international relations focus which was great. I recommend this event to students interested in Chinese language and culture as well as business.”
