Unitec Excellence Awards 
Ngā Tohu Kairangi o Wairaka

Kia ora e te whānau

It’s time to nominate Ngā Whetu / The Stars of Unitec!

We’re inviting nominations for the individuals and teams who have stood out in the past year.

After another year of disrupted teaching, learning and working, we’ve witnessed amazing dedication and innovation amongst our people, despite of and in response to the challenges we’ve faced. Let’s celebrate those achievements and highlight the wonderful mahi happening all around Te Whare Wānanga o Wairaka.

We listened to your feedback and have made a few changes to our nominations this year:

• The nomination period has been extended to a full month, until Wednesday 27 October, 2021
• We’ve included new categories:
  • Innovation in Teaching
  • Supporting Pacific Learners - extended to both teachers and support staff
  • Outstanding Contribution by a Project Team
  • Sustained Outstanding Contribution – for someone who has worked at Unitec for 10 years or more
• The two-step process that we’ve used in two of our teaching categories is now one step, to reduce the pressure on our nominated teachers.

Nominations close on Wednesday 27 October which gives you four weeks to write your submission.

I encourage you to chat to your team, reflect on the past year and nominate those shining stars who contribute so much to making Te Whare Wānanga o Wairaka the special place it is.

Questions?
If you have any questions about the awards, please contact the Communications team.

I’m looking forward to reading about and celebrating the excellent work of our people.
