No tutors left since merger?! (1 precisely when we had 12 weeks of teaching of year 1 left). Meant we had to do compulsory block course at end of year. Couldn't officially result all our modules this year as a result. Missed teaching essential credits for the diploma (and didn't notice until it was pointed out). Still can't provide a timetable for next year so those of us that have to work can arrange our hrs around study.

Had an appointment there booked a space and now I had to cancel my appointment due to some inconsiderate person parked their car in the spot reserved for me. End result not able to go to my appointment and can not get another one for maybe two weeks. Hope you enjoy your event today at least you get paid for it. I don't have that luxury nor do I qualify for a benefit. Been out of work since January trying to keep my head above the water what's the point if people don't play fair.

Racist entity, Looks out solely of the interests of Maori and Pacific free training and job opportunities based on your blood type, the forcing of Maori Prayer upon ALL students in some classes dismissing all other cultures and belief systems forcing Maori upon Teachers whom if they do not pass Maori they will not be given their diplomas, they have put Maori/pacific AND Disabled people all in the same group essentially calling Maori and Pacific the same as disabled people.. When questioned they have very little answers to back up the reasoning for any of this if not ignore you completely they claim the Treaty where as Pacific Islanders did not sign any such document making any such excuse null and void, students calling and seeing racism daily, teachers to scared to speak up but behind closed doors agree this institution is racist and has no thought process for any other beliefs or cultures who whom they may offend, major steps backward in society essentially promoting segregation.. Equity is about those in NEED not your blood type sooner these backward racists realise that we can all move on. I am Maori by the way as is alot of the fellow students who agree with how racist this establishment is.
