Welcoming Communities

Clyde School welcomes seasonal staff back to Central Otago.

Welcoming Communities logo

We love living in Central Otago and are always looking for new and different ways to make newcomers feel welcome in this amazing place. The dramatic landscape and colourful seasons draw people from around the world, but what keeps us here is the connection we have with the land and each other.

We believe communities that make newcomers feel welcome are likely to enjoy better social outcomes, greater social cohesion and stronger economic growth. Building connections between locals and newcomers means everyone feels included and knows they belong.

What's happening

Women's Wednesdays is a new initiative to encourage women to have fun and feel safe in the water.

Summer Friday Pub Series

Everyone is welcome. Look for the newcomers flag!

Hidden Gems is a list of places that locals love but may be hard for Newcomers to find. They include tracks, dams, rivers and picnic spots. We'd welcome anyone's ideas to add to the list. Enjoy exploring the district!
