The Nelson Region has a huge variety of activities and special interests on offer., Do you prefer wine tasting, sea-kayaking or skydiving from a plane?We are the only English school in New Zealand to take students regularly to Abel Tasman National Park, Golden Bay and Marlborough Sounds. If you are really determined to have an adventure, there is NO LIMIT!

Hi, my name is Sarah Yanicki, I am originally from Canada but now live in the beautiful city of Nelson. My role at Nelson English Centre is to make sure that you have a great time whilst you are at school. I ensure that there are activities for everyone

Most of our in-school activities are free. These include: After school board games, table tennis competitions, singing and movies. As well there is international lunch together. Students also walk to sports, Friday lunch club, or get a shared taxi to play beach volleyball. In Nelson at nighttime there is regular pub night or theme parties including the school party bus. To relax the brain after studying hard many students prefer to attend our free salsa classes and on Thursday night students can practice their new salsa skills at the Little Rock cafe - all free. Some students prefer yoga in the school studio.

To name just a few. Nearest to Nelson are the three beaches: Tahuna or Rabbit Island for swimming, picnics and beach volleyball, and Cable Bay for swimming or convenient kayaking. Full day trips include kayaking in Abel Tasman, climbing Mount Arthur or visiting Nelson Lakes National Park. Our weekend trips include the West Coast wonderland, Kaikoura whale watching, Hanmer Springs and much much more.
