All ākonga (students) in New Plymouth will be formally welcomed to our WITT Te Pūkenga whānau by a pōwhiri, on their first day.
The week you start your study journey with us will involve fun, games, and free kai.
All activities take place between 12pm - 1pm.
Lunch is sorted! Grab a free nacho lunch (vegetarian options available), and if you're game, have a go on the mechanical bull! Meet us outside Te Piere at 12 (noon).
Join our fun courtyard games and win the epic prizes up for grabs like headphones, vouchers, drink bottles, and more. Enjoy mini golf - hole-in-one, hook a duck, balloon pop, and free paddle pop iceblocks! Meet us outside Te Piere at 12 (noon).
See what the community has to offer with our ākonga Market Day. Grab photos with your friends from the photo booth and enjoy tunes from our very own DJ. Meet us outside Te Piere at 12 (noon).
Bring out your sporty side and have fun in the outdoor classroom. If sport's not your thing, cheer on your friends and enjoy a free hotdog. Meet us at the outdoor classroom next to Mātātoa Gym at 12 (noon).
End the week with a sweet treat and enjoy free pancakes! Meet us outside Te Piere at 12 (noon).
