Celebrating Success
From your first day at ÃØÃÜÖ±²¥, you¡¯ll find plenty of reasons to celebrate.
This includes celebrating your progress through your study as well as tangible academic achievements. We believe that acknowledging your success is a vital component of a healthy ÃØÃÜÖ±²¥experience, and helps you stay focused when the workload builds up.
Some of the things we celebrate together:
- A P¨whiri, which involves officially welcoming new students and staff to Whare W¨¡naka o Aoraki and the ÃØÃÜÖ±²¥ University wh¨¡nau.
- R¨¡ Whakawhanaukakataka Orientation, where all new students gather to celebrate the milestone of starting at ÃØÃÜÖ±²¥.
- Outstanding results and achievements by our individual sports competitors and teams.
- Our Blues and Golds awards, where we celebrate sporting achievements and students who have given back to the community.
- The accomplishments of our research students, who compete in the annual 3MT competition. The entire ÃØÃÜÖ±²¥ wh¨¡nau enjoys attending the presentations and celebrating the dedication of our research students.
- Recognising our top students each semester, with the Faculty Deans awarding them a place on the Dean¡¯s List.
- Graduations that occur throughout the year, large and small. These are the most special moments, where students, staff, friends and wh¨¡nau share in the celebrations.
