NZMS Tutors Update

Several hundred years and still counting – that is the record of years of sustained service which the current tutors at the New Zealand Maritime School have delivered to the students over the years.

The NZ Maritime School is unique in that it has a very long serving crew of tutors and support staff. Chances are many of them will have taught you on your way through the school. You may not remember them all by name but click on the links below to get a reminder of who and what.

The New Zealand Maritime School staff has remained remarkably consistent over the past decade or more. Despite massive changes in the shipping and logistics industries, the individual tutors and the operation of the school has remained consistent, delivering high quality training for young people coming into these professions.

NB: For nostalgia’s sake, have a look at this team photograph taken in 1991.  How many faces you can recognise?
