The event was an opportunity for prospective students to find out about programmes on offer at the polytech.

A light supper and some Pasifika performances were followed by an expo presenting courses including architecture, beauty, game design and IT.

Prospective students could also interact with the support services staff as well as community organisations such as Pacific Trust Otago and mental health, disability and social services provider Vaka Tautua.
