How to register
Your school is invited to bring all Year 12 taiohi Māori.
Each student needs to register and pick their timetable online by Friday 5 July.
Taiohi Māori need to select one lecture from the timetable. Useful information to help with their decision can be found in our What subjects do you enjoy? brochure. This provides links between school subjects and what your students might like to study at UC.
Morning tea and lunch will be provided so taiohi Māori will be asked to include information about any dietary requirements.
If you have any students with access requirements, or other requirements, please let us know via email so that we can accommodate them.
