Tēnā koutou katoaToday is a day of celebration at Whitireia as we honour our graduating students.

To every student graduating, your accomplishments reflect your individual efforts and our commitment to helping you reach your full potential. We provide our students with a solid foundation on which to build their careers in the professions and industries they have chosen.

This is a celebration not only for our students, but also an acknowledgement and appreciation of the families, friends and staff who have provided support and encouragement along the way.

Our vision is to lead and illuminate our communities through tertiary education and today you, our students, are an embodiment of that vision.

Our graduates are well educated and equipped with first class, sought after qualifications. Employers actively seek Whitireia graduates. We are pleased to be bridging the skills gap in New Zealand and providing the community with flexible, industrious and productive individuals.

Today we celebrate the success of students from the schools of Business, Creativity, Hospitality and Tourism, Information Technology, Learner Journey, Social Services, as well as students from Computer Power Plus. This ceremony marks the beginning of a new pathway for each of you.

My warmest congratulations, I wish you every success.

Whāia te iti kahurangi ki te tūohu koe me he maunga teitei

Seek the treasure you value most dearly; if you bow your head, let it be to a lofty mountain

No reira, tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou, tēnā tātou katoa
