Unitec Excellence Awards 
Ngā Tohu Kairangi o Wairaka

Kia ora koutou

There are just a few days left to submit your nominations for our Unitec Excellence Awards - Ngā Tohu Kairangi o Wairaka 2019. Nominations close at 5pm, Tuesday 29 October.

There’s a category for everyone and it takes just 300 words to highlight your nominee’s contribution or achievement. Think about the people you’ve worked with who have exceeded expectations in a teaching or support role, have stood out for doing things differently or who are the ‘quiet achievers’ who contribute so much to Unitec.

If you haven’t checked out the Excellence Awards Nest page yet, here’s the list of categories and link to the nomination form:
