support on campus/site

Pōwhiri

For students attending their first noho, they will be welcomed in with pōwhiri. Please come prepared and dressed in the appropriate attire. This can be an overwhelming experience for some and we can assure you, you will not be alone. Please let your academic area know if you are bringing support.


Pōwhiri usually take place outside on the grass area of the building Ōtaki. Our tikanga for pōwhiri has been adapted while our nation has been traversing through Covid-19. Please check information on our Covid-19 page to stay updated. Students will attend pōwhiri again when they come on to campus/site for Hui Rumaki Reo.

While you attend noho on campus or site, you are provided with all your meals. You are also welcome to bring snacks with you while you are here. Please make arrangements with your Kaikōkiri (administrator) if you have any special dietary needs ie. allergies etc for catering purposes.
