You may have heard or read about the independent student association incorporated or WISA problems. While students get behind their association and make it great, the polytechnic will keep on doing what it does best. There is no effect on our operations. Whitireia polytechnic continues providing terrific applied qualifications and all the services that are part of this excellent tertiary institution.

Whitireia polytechnic still offers the highest level of support to students. You can find out about health services, counselling services, study skills assistance, Whitireia hardship grants, disability support, financial advice and scholarships by contacting us on 0800 944 847 or on our website www.whitireia.ac.nz.

The polytechnic will help the independent student association achieve its goals by providing management advice, governance support and help with systems. We are holding $70,000 of student association membership fees, in trust for students. This will be released to the newly formed independent student association when they have resolved their difficulties and can return to providing recreational services and perhaps also new services to our students.

After a long journey, Whitireia now has a new brand, including a new name and a new logo.

The bright new contemporary brand supports Whitireia as a stand out tertiary institute. The logo, a woven style “W”, signifies the relationships that Whitireia fosters with the community, its students, the workplace and connecting with the international arena.

The colours are representative of the Porirua landscape and Ngati Toa. Of a dynamic tertiary institute with local and international focus and one that leads the sector – Whitireia New Zealand!

The rollout of the new brand will be a gradual process. We have started with new campus signage for Porirua and Wellington, web banners, the 2011 Prospectus plus a number of other key items.
