Orientation

Student life wouldn’t be complete without Orientation Week, more commonly known as O'Week!

Every year Toi Ohomai welcomes more than 10,000 new and returning students across our campuses. We like to start the year off with a bang as we hold our annual orientation events.

O’Week is an opportunity to get acquainted with Toi Ohomai, learn about the student services that are available, get to know classmates and have some epic fun.

During O'Week, students are also officially welcomed onto campus with a pōhiri (welcome ceremony).

Each year O’Week has a different theme, but it always includes live music, free food, stallholders, competitions, fun activities, and fiercely contested challenges.

Keep an eye on our Events page for dates.
