Congratulations to all our 2024 Graduates!

It was a busy week for Te Whare Wānanga o Wairaka kaimahi and ākonga, with the Pacific celebration event on Friday, Kahurangi on Sunday and the Autumn 2024 Unitec graduation ceremony at the Aotea Centre on Tuesday. On the day, 786 crossed the stage, with 1517 in total graduating.

Throughout the week, friends, and whānau came together with our ākonga to support and celebrate their years of achievement. For many of this year’s graduates, their studies began as the Covid pandemic hit, and they shared inspiring stories of their journey through a tumultuous time, with lots of tears and laughter. Their common message was one of thanks for the support from their fellow ākonga, Unitec lecturers and staff, and gratitude for the patience and love from whānau as they pushed through their studies.

Congratulations to all our graduates, and ngā mihi nui to all the kaimahi who put so much time, energy and mahi to ensure each celebration was a special one.

A Spirit of Celebration

    When people ask me why do I work at Unitec? and at times during the really busy times I really do think about it, but when I see the students, especially the students I have been personally responsible for, walk across the graduation stage…..it really makes it all worth it and appreciate the people I work with and the staff involved in all helping that graduating student take the most deserved 10 steps across the stage that will possibly change their lives and futures. Well done to all and a great day to experience yet again!
