Orientation 2012
Aoraki Polytechnic is proud to announce Orientation 2012, Featuring The Black Seeds
Orientation 2012
This February, Aoraki Polytechnic will
welcome over 1100 students with its best Orientation Week yet,
starting on Monday
20 February with course confirmation and concluding with headline
act The Black Seeds,
set to play on campus on Friday 24 February at 3pm.

Further activities during the week include a welcome Mihi, BBQ
lunch, activities and entertainment as well as a market day to
introduce students to local services and businesses available in
the community such as banks and gyms.
Orientation project team member Felicity Macfarlane says, "This
year we wanted to do something that would bring all our students
together, and create a big buzz so with the help of Ritchies we are
transporting students from Aoraki's Christchurch, Ashburton, Oamaru
and Dunedin Campuses to Timaru for the Friday."
We're thrilled to have The Black Seeds on board. We've had a lot
of support from local business and contacts in the community to
make this possible, and it's a great opportunity to welcome
students, for them to mingle, and also a chance for the wider
community to come on campus and see our facilities".
Local businesses supporting the event include The Grosvenor,
Port FM, All About Signs, Dowells Office Products, Signature
Promotions and Ritchies Buses.
Chief Executive Kay Nelson says the event is a great way to kick
off the year. "The development of on-campus events is in line with
the strategic direction of the organisation; to make the campus
inviting, to be more student centric and create a positive learning
environment to give our students the best chance of success."
Most classes start 20 February and Aoraki are taking enrolments
right up to start date. There is also an open day on 13 February
for those that would like a look around campus or to meet with
tutors and gain careers advice.
