Callum Donaldson

My name is Callum Donaldson and I’m a student from the West Coast. In early 2024 I was proud to have graduated from the Pinnacle Programme. I’ve had a lot of fun being a part of the programme, and it has also given me opportunities to plan for my future on Kai Waho, and build leadership skills and self-confidence on Spirit of Adventure and Outward bound.

I am currently working towards a BSc/BA degree from Otago University. I enjoy sports, music, and just about everything our great backyard has to offer, whether that’s surfing out at Cobden or fishing the Grey River.

In the last few years, I have been fortunate to have had some great opportunities through my rugby league, such as vice captaining the South Island U-20’s and NZ Universities league teams. Currently I am contracted with the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs and living in Sydney, as part of their U-21 Jersey Flegg side.

I’m grateful to be a part of the Programme, and am looking forward to what the year brings.
