College Welcomes

You are warmly invited to attend your college orientation programme which you will find on the following pages. This is a fantastic opportunity for you to meet your lecturers, other students and your uni-guide. Your programmes may include:

• Pöwhiri – traditional Mäori welcome bringing together Hosts (Tangata Whenua) and Visitors (Manuhiri) usually at a Marae (Mäori community centre) in a welcoming environment of friendship and generosity. The welcome acknowledges those who have gone before us and the sanctity of culture. The Pöwhiri includes Karanga (calling ritual), Hongi (nose pressing), Whaikörero (formal speeches), Waiata (songs), and Kai (food).

• Mihi Whakatau – less formal Mäori welcome of acknowledgement to guests and the environment. Literally

‘Whakatau’ means ‘to be settled’.

• Academic Advice – is time allocated for students who have not had their

enrolment confirmed or wish to make changes to their paper selections.

• Uni-guides – senior students who will be available to provide support, information and friendly advice as you adjust to University life.

They will take you on a tour of the campus and show you where your lecture rooms are located.

• Workshops – are designed to give you a head start. Don’t miss them!

Studylink: money, money, money - get it sorted!

Library: the key to success and study tips too good to miss.

MAWSA: find out what your student association can do for you.

Careers: So what ARE you going to be when you grow up?

ITS: learn about lab facilities, email, network access and internet usage.

Uni-speak: learn the jargon in preparation for classes.
