Life on Campus at Toi Ohomai
We know that being a student is about more than studying and exams. Our graduates often tell us they’ve made lifelong friends during their time with us, and had some of the best experiences of their lives.
Student Events
The highlight is our orientation events, which are held at the beginning of semester, but there are lots of other events throughout the year like:
- Te Wiki o te Reo Māori – Māori Language Week
- Matariki festivities to celebrate the Māori new year
- Multicultural celebrations including Diwali and Indian Independence Day
- Pink Shirt Day fundraising to support anti-bullying
- BBQs and free food
- Live music gigs
- Market days to feature student businesses

Being a class rep is a great opportunity to develop leadership and communication skills (an awesome thing to have on your CV). Talk with your tutor if you’re interested.
