Dr Chris Anderson of Massey University, 2011 recipient of the Royal Arch Centennial Award, seen addressing the Business Session on "Biofortification". Holding aloft a commercial pear, he explains that it has less biological nutrients than the much smaller non-commercial pears of yesteryear and represents a decrease in the relative nutritional quality while demonstrating the improved appearance through modern horticultural methods. The purpose of the Royal Arch Centennial Award is the promotion and encouragement of excellence and of skills in some aspect of professional, commercial, technical or other practical endeavour.

The Supreme Grand Royal Arch Chapter of New Zealand administers the New Zealand Constitutions of Royal Arch, Mark and Cryptic Masons. Completing the six degrees recognised by the Grand Lodge of New Zealand, Royal Arch Chapters conduct the degrees of Mark Master Mason, Excellent Master and Royal Arch. Cryptic Councils conduct the degrees of Select Master, Royal Master, Most Excellent Master and Super Excellent Master. The degrees of Royal Ark Mariner and Red Cross of Babylon are also conducted under the auspices of the SGRACNZ. For many Freemasons it provides the answer to the tantalising question of “what is that which was lost?”
