From the International Travel College of New Zealand newsletter, SUMMER 2002:
If you were passing Ellerslie Convention Centre one warm November Friday you would have seen the cocktails, drums, flax huts, palm trees and stunning decorations that transformed it into a Pacific Island for the exciting celebrations of our 2001 graduation!
It was a fabulous Pacific dream, with 500 students, staff, friends, family and industry guests, all celebrating the achievements of our 2001 graduates. The Pacific Island drummers kept the pace up during the mixing and mingling, and actor/presenter Craig Parker hosted an outstanding evening of presentations, special awards, staff performances and island dancing. The Rangatahi Maia students wowed the audience with their kapa haka performance and the night owls danced and celebrated into the early hours. "What a great way to finish our year with ITC" was one students comment and the end of an outstanding year for us all.
February 17th: Craig was the celebrity MC for the Herne Bay House Hair Event which took place at the Auckland Town Hall. This yearly event raises money for the Auckland residential care facility for people with HIV/AIDS.
Craig is part of the GE Free New Zealand campaign.
"The GE free New Zealand photographic campaign was the brainchild of Alannah Currie, former member of the 80s band The Thompson Twins. The idea was twofold, firstly to promote the rally which took place in Auckland on September 1st 2001 and secondly, in the longterm, to become an ever evolving online exhibition of images showing opposition to genetically engineered food in our fields and in our bodies."
