O-week

O-week is how we welcome our new and returning students. We want to be part of your study journey with us, and we want you to feel like part of the WITT whānau. It's also a great chance to meet other students, your friendly tutors and the welcoming support staff. 

O-week is coming!

We postponed O-week in March, but it's back. Check out what O-week now looks like below.
