About

Matt and Dulkara have a lot of experience working with children on holiday programmes, on school camps, teaching swimming and coaching. Matt has completed – and Dulkara is about to complete – a degree in sport and recreation. They both plan to get a diploma of teaching and then split their time between teaching, coaching and Legend Kids. They currently live on-site at Nelson College, working as tutors at Barnicoat Boarding House.

Dulkara has dabbled with netball and rowing, but her main area of interest is the outdoors. Whether it be kayaking, off-road running, cycling, mountain biking, caving, swimming, tramping, abseiling or climbing mountains – she’s there. What other chance did she have with a Swiss mountain guide for a father, and her formative years spent having adventures on the West Coast, in Mount Cook and overseas?

Matt grew up in Nelson playing lots of team sports, especially rugby, cricket and touch. He played his first game of rugby at 3 and still makes up for his size with good agility and speed. He has now discovered there is also life beyond the goalpost. Dulkara even managed to drag him through the Himalayas. Of course, he’s still sport crazy!
