Secondary School Liaison Team

If you want to know more about Waiariki, or even spend a day on campus to experience life as a Waiariki student, look no further than to our secondary school liaison, or regional development managers. This team takes pride in showing off their campus, introducing our lecturers, and helping you make one of the best decisions for your future.

Alternately, if you prefer we come to you, our secondary school liaison or the one of the managers can visit your secondary school to talk to classes or groups about our institute, about the value of continuing education, and staying motivated throughout the school year. It’s all about connecting with our community and improving the welfare and lives of those in our region.

Campus Tours

Tours of the campuses in Rotorua, Taupo, Tokoroa and Whakatane can be organised and tailored for school groups. Advanced bookings are essential.

Taster Courses / Student for a day

To get a taste of what it’s like to be a student on a Waiariki campus, we arrange Taster Courses or Student for a Day experiences. These options allow students to walk in the footsteps of a tertiary student and discover for themselves that it’s exciting, stimulating and friendly environment for all to enjoy.

School Visits

Our secondary school liaison team specialises in talking to secondary students about choosing a career and study path. We are available to visit your school at any time of year, whether it’s to update staff members or talk to students. Here are just a few topics we can cover, but we are able to tailor presentations to your needs:

• Qualifications and courses available to study at Waiariki
• How to pathway to further study at our partnering universities
• How to prepare for and get into tertiary level study
• Extensive student support services available to ensure succes

By matching student interest areas and individual strengths with clear and logical study pathways, students are better able to identify their tertiary study options and requirements.
