Young leader off to China<br />
AVONSIDE GIRLS’ High School<br />
student Kathrine Wiki Arapeta<br />
will play a key part in the New<br />
Zealand China Youth Leadership<br />
Summit.<br />
It will be the year 13 student’s<br />
second summit after she travelled<br />
to China for the event last year.<br />
St Andrew’s College will host<br />
the summit, which is set to run<br />
from July 13-23.<br />
Kathrine will attend this<br />
year’s event as a youth leader.<br />
She said the best part about the<br />
previous summit was discovering<br />
and sharing in a new culture.<br />
“I personally, got a whole<br />
new outlook on the world, how<br />
every country fits together, and a<br />
vision for the future of bringing<br />
countries closer together. It<br />
definitely helped to prepare us for<br />
our own future, how we could be<br />
leaders of our own country, and<br />
how we could work together with<br />
people from other countries.”<br />
The event will celebrate the<br />
close relationship between sister<br />
cities in New Zealand and China<br />
by bringing together about 100<br />
student leaders from the two<br />
nations.<br />
Senior high school student<br />
leaders, along with first-year<br />
tertiary students, are invited to<br />
apply to take part.<br />
This summit aims to empower<br />
students to be effective, culturally<br />
aware, socially responsible<br />

global citizens. Founder Jan Fitz-<br />
Gerald said delegates will learn<br />
about the importance of China<br />
and New Zealand’s long-term<br />
relations, make new friends and<br />
gain a deeper understanding of<br />
each other’s culture and customs.<br />
“We will provide opportunities<br />
for all students to develop skills,<br />
knowledge and capabilities to<br />
be global citizens and effective<br />
future leaders in a challenging<br />
world,” she said.<br />
Keynote speaker Stephen<br />
Jacobi, of the New Zealand<br />
China Council, will be joined<br />
by a host of other speakers and<br />
presenters.<br />
Students will learn about<br />
leadership in a cross-cultural<br />
environment. Workshops,<br />
lectures and forums will cover<br />
topics on being prepared<br />
and working together, global<br />
relations, cultural intelligence,<br />
social responsibility and<br />
resilience.<br />
Students will also produce and<br />
present a group project.<br />
St Andrew’s College rector<br />
Christine Leighton was delighted<br />
to be hosting the event.<br />
“This is a fabulous opportunity<br />
for young New Zealanders to<br />
learn and grow as global citizens<br />
and future leaders.”<br />
