International Support

Kiwi Adventures

SANITI in partnership with NMIT hosts a range of kiwi adventures throughout the year for NMIT international students, so you can meet fellow students and make new friends. These are a great chance to learn about 'Kiwi culture' and see what the Nelson, Tasman, and Marlborough regions have to offer. Check out upcoming events on the SANITI(external link) website

International Student get-togethers

On the first Wednesday of every month, International Students get together with support staff and community partners in the Nelson Campus Kōwhai Lounge - N Block over a free lunch.  Get-togethers also happen on the Marlborough campus. These gatherings are a great way to meet each other, find out about upcoming events, give feedback, and let us know what we can provide to best support you.

Marianna Deynzer, BCom, MA(Hons), Wellbeing Support Advisor 

Malo e lei lei! I can help you reach your goals by providing pastoral care and wellbeing support. Sometimes, you may feel stuck and overwhelmed, but we can work together to get you in a good space. I run individual and group sessions and visit classes, sometimes with Franky, the wellbeing dog. I have studied multiple disciplines, which is useful when working with different ākonga in different courses.
