The New Zealand Chinese Students’ Association (NZCSA) is an incorporated student society that aims to serve the Chinese students in New Zealand, promoting the Chinese Culture and act as a bridge between the Chinese student community and the local mainstream community. Starting in 1996, NZCSA began its life as a student initiative to connect the Chinese students in New Zealand who shared the same vision, providing them with a chance to expand their capabilities as well as associate with like-minded young leaders. Since then, NZCSA has gone from strength to strength becoming the largest Chinese student organisation while establishing itself as a reputable entity in the local business community. NZCSA sees around 800 new members each year and currently has a committee of 65 students. We hold over 4000 members in our database as means of advertising to and bringing influence for our own values and business opportunities. We have a strong presence across multiple channels including Wechat, Sina Weibo, Facebook and Skykiwi forums. NZCSA hosts a range of events from ski trips to course tutorials. Our major annual events attract over 100 participants with advertisements covering entire city campus of University of Auckland (“UoA”), our co-operating business partners (around 60) and the partnership Chinese student organisations in all major tertiary institutes. On top of NZCSA’s events, there are also joint events we hold with ASIA- an alliance of all Asian student organisations in University of Auckland, such as the Grande Royale ball in 2014 or the Halloween Party. We also have strong relationships with media companies such as SkyKiwi, AM936 and hold industrial and professional contacts with production companies such as A Bird Production and Msick. Vision: The vision of NZCSA is to establish a strong network of the Chinese students and Alumni to serve the Chinese student community, build industrial contacts and promote Chinese culture.
