The People
 Palmerston North, the region’s largest
city, is a sophisticated urban environment with great shopping,
culture, entertainment and, especially, great people! It’s a
vibrant, intelligent, international community of 76,000. A
colourful mix of people lives harmoniously in a clean, fresh, green
environment. While English is the everyday language, up to 11 home
languages are commonly spoken in city schools.
New Zealand’s largest university attracts students from
around the world to the city and government research laboratories
are an international workplace for scientists.
 The People of Manawatu are ‘Real
Kiwis’, holding close to their hearts the values New Zealand
was built on. They are practical, friendly people, enjoy an
outdoor lifestyle, and come from all walks of life.
In New Zealand, sport is big - in particular, the games of
rugby, netball and golf. On Saturdays the sports fields of
the region come alive as a hard working community
relaxes!
