Kia ora koutou,

We understand this is an unsettling time for everyone: Teachers, students and whānau. We wanted to extend a hand by letting you know how we can help.

Ara's Youth and Community Development team can support students making decisions about subject or study choices for next year. Here are some lockdown-friendly options offered via video chat or phone:

Individual Online Referrals: Zoom or Phone Call

Your students can book a one-on-one meeting with one of our representatives. Students will be able to discuss specific courses, entry requirements, the application process, scholarships, accommodation, or any other questions they may have! 

Application Presentations: Online Zoom Webinar

Book an application presentation for your school, if there are multiple students thinking of applying to study at Ara next year. These include information about the application process, closing dates, scholarships, & additional requirements for some programmes such as personal statements, portfolios, referee reports, and more.

To request a booking, please email engagement@ara.ac.nz with your preferred date and time. 

No question is too big or too small. Please reach out.
