History[]

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.

Services[]

Since then, NZCSA has become 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. It holds over 4000 members in the member database as means of advertising to and bringing influence for its own values and business opportunities. NZCSA has a strong presence across multiple channels including Wechat, Sina Weibo, Facebook and Skykiwi forums.

NZCSA hosts a range of events from The NZCSA Ski Trips to "Xue-Tang" Exam Tutorials. Its major annual events attract over 100 participants with advertisements covering entire city campus of University of Auckland (“UoA”), while its 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 it holds with ASIA - an alliance of all Asian student organisations in the University of Auckland, such as the Grande Royale Ball and the Halloween Party.
