Join Te Pūkenga whare on Te Whare 

You will have received an email invitation to join Te Whare, our central, network-wide intranet that gives all staff access to up-to-date information about Te Pūkenga, activity around our transition. 

Te Whare does not replace Otago Polytechnic's intranet, Tūhono or any existing internal communications platforms that we already have in place. Instead, Te Whare complements them with more information about Te Pūkenga and is expected to include opportunities to connect across our Network, to showcase network activity and engage with projects underway.

Tūhono will continue to be the go-to for Otago Polytechnic news, blogs, updates about our people and events information.

This is just the beginning of Te Whare. Share what else you’d like to see on Te Whare via this form. Over time, you’ll start to see more interaction between Tūhono and Te Whare.
