O-Week

04 - 08 March 2024

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 our whānau. It's also a great chance to meet other students, your friendly tutors, and the welcoming support staff. 


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.
