Access our support networks
Otago Polytechnic expresses its condolences to the family and friends of the University Otago student who died at a Dunedin party at the weekend.
Our thoughts also go out to the wider Dunedin student community affected by the tragedy.
We have strong networks in place to support students. These include counselling services.
There are four counsellors on the Dunedin Campus who are available to see students between 8.00am and 5.00pm, Monday to Friday. This is a free service.
