Open Day 2022


Open Day is Unitec’s largest student attraction event and every year kaimahi across the entire organisation contribute their time and expertise to bringing this to life.

This event provides an exciting glimpse of the opportunities available through connecting prospective students with staff and current ākonga. They also get the opportunity to participate in a range of fun activities that highlight the manaakitanga provided and whānau centered culture of Te Whare Wānanga o Wairaka.

If you are giving your time to represent your School or Support Service – or, just as importantly, wanting to volunteer to help out on the day at either our Waitākere or Mt Albert Campus, please register here if you haven’t already. We couldn’t do it without you.

Registrations close Friday 12 August at 5pm. Please ensure you register to ensure you receive a t-shirt (if you don’t already have one) and lunch.


Online and On-Campus

In keeping with industry best practice, we will be holding two different versions: Open Day Online on Tuesday 23 August (6:00pm-8:00pm). Open Day On-Campus on Saturday 3 September (9:00am – 1:30pm).

The online version is to give potential ākonga and their influencers the chance to have any questions answered in an accessible and convenient way. They’ll also experience Unitec’s commitment to innovation, adaptability and our ability to collaborate. It’s a great way for us to promote our high-quality programmes and student-focused teaching approach. Our attending academic and support service staff will provide insight to a great range of people (as well as push for attendance to the Open Day On-Campus a couple of weeks later).

We’re are all really excited to hold an Open Day on campus for the first time in three years! IT will be great to reconnect with each other and our potential learners, face to face.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact Paul Hays and please remember to register by August 12.

We look forward to seeing you there and hope you enjoy the experience.
