Please join us online on Friday 17 December at 10am for the livestream of the Poroporoaki (farewell) to our Performing and Screen Arts buildings (B6, B7, B12) which will be handed over to the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development at the end of the ceremony.
The Poroporoaki brings almost 30 years of history on the northern end of Unitec’s Mt Albert campus to an end. In 2022, the School of Creative Industries will move into its new home in B108 with the dance programme temporarily relocated to DANZA Dance Studios in New Lynn.
The Poroporoaki ceremony will be streamed live on the Unitec Performing and Screen Arts Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/unitecperformingandscreenarts
Programme:
10:00am – Karakia
10:20am – Welcome and sharing of stories
12:00pm (approx.) – Ceremony ends
We apologise we cannot invite you in person because of Covid-19 restrictions. However, we invite you to share your stories, reflections and memories from PASA. If you have something to share, please email me your message to Peter Rees at prees@unitec.ac.nz, which we will endeavor to read out on the day. You can also comment on the thread of the livestream too.
While it is a sad occasion to leave a place which holds a special place in the hearts of many people past and present, we look forward to turning a new page in the school’s history in the New Year. We look forward to having you join us on 17 December at 10am.
