About the venue

The LLLNZ Conference 2024 will be held at St Peter’s’ School, Cambridge.

St Peter’s is an Anglican-affiliated school that is open to people of any religion, denomination, and background. It is the largest co-educational boarding school in New Zealand, now over 80 years old.

St Peter’s is located two minutes from Cambridge and 15 minutes from Hamilton. The 40-hectare campus is surrounded by the St Peter’s Dairy farm, providing a relaxed rural setting. The main buiding resembles a large English country home, set in manicured grounds hemmed with topiary.

Proudly supported by:

Pinky joined the Cambridge group of LLLNZ in the mid 1970s and became a leader in the Hamilton group in 1976.

She spent the next 20 years breastfeeding (5 kids). Pinky and her family now live in Melbourne, Australia, but she still calls New Zealand home.
Pinky McKay is one of Australia’s most recognised and respected breastfeeding experts.

She’s an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), and best-selling author.

Pinky specializes in gentle parenting styles that honour mothers’ natural instincts to respond to their babies.

“LLL was my ‘home’ when I was a young mum floundering and confused against pressure to wean my first baby, went along to meetings in Cambridge when he was a year old to find out how to wean him – was SOO relieved to discover I didn’t have to DO anything that didn’t feel right.”
