From Tumuaki Josh Hubbard
Kia ora koutou katoa,
Congratulations on making it through the first semester! We hope you have all done well
throughout the year so far. We had a good turn out to the Midsessional Wananga and put on
plenty of food for those who attended. Big thanks goes out to Ryan, our Academic Officer, for
putting that on. We also held our Annual Quiz Night at Robbie’s in Riccarton. Thanks to our
Fundraising Officer Mel, the place was packed out and the event raised over $2000. Thank
you to everyone who made teams, sold tickets or just showed up for the good times!
So what have we got coming up next semester? We have an exchange on the cards and also
we will be some kind of weekly catch up, so get along for some free coffee and biscuits. There
will also be an evening at Winnebagos in term 4. Make sure you make the most of these
events!
We hope to see you all around next semester!
Nga Mihi
