WHY DID WE GET INVOLVED:

Jessica:

I am a Year 11 Wakatipu High school student who has been skating for 7 years. I am not competing this year due to NCEA commitments but I am coaching kiwiskate beginner skaters and loving being involved in Stars on Ice!

John:

I work for Harcourts Queenstown and my name was put forward by my colleague (there will be payback) I did kiwi skate when I was 5, it’s surprising what I can remember.
