Come and check it out!

We're really looking forward to the exhibition next week, where students and staff will artistically share their interpretation of the event's name. It's a special opportunity for everyone to open up about what matters to them, and it allows us all to reflect on our own lives. There are 15 submissions to enjoy, and if you want to get yours in, you can still do so until Friday!

The theme of the exhibition is about knowing yourself well. There's a saying that goes, "a tree with deep roots survives strong winds," which emphasizes the importance of understanding what is important to you.

Even if you don't submit anything, you can still join in a fun way! We'll have big black sheets of paper around the exhibition with colorful post-it notes and pens. Each sheet will have a question about life. You can write your answer on a post-it and stick it on the corresponding sheet. You can choose to stay anonymous or add your name. It'll be interesting to see how different people respond, just remember to be mindful of your wording since younger folks might be reading it too.

Also, some of our Culinary Arts students will be serving light snacks during the exhibition, so come by and try what they have! To enjoy the food, you'll need to provide your student ID number, date of birth, and ethnicity. This information helps us report attendance to our funders, Te Whatu Ora, which is crucial for securing funding for future students.

Lastly, throughout the week, we'll have different community organisations here that offer support for anyone who needs it or is struggling. They'd love to talk and share what they do, so we encourage you to check it out and get involved!
