Kia ora koutou
With a well-earned Summer break fast approaching, we can reflect on yet another successful year for the University.
We have acknowledged the success of our academic and professional staff and students throughout the year. These collective outstanding efforts define our University and make it the globally recognised institution it is. Everyone has contributed to this and we can all be proud of what has been achieved. I want to thank you all for your commitment and tireless mahi throughout the year.
