Events

An orientation event, Get FRESH is a one-day fun-packed programme introducing all first-year Pacific students to UC, designed to give you the best possible start to your first year at university.

To celebrate the start of a new academic year, a Pasifika welcome is held every year on Saturday at the end of the first week of lectures, bringing together all first-year and returning Pacific students and their families.

Jandals are social evenings organised by students for students. Held two to three times a year, these evenings usually involve a few fun games, quizzes, spot prizes, impromptu entertainment and a lot of very loud laughter!

PASS Learning Skills are provided by the Academics Skills Centre staff, specifically for Pasifika students who want that extra edge when studying at UC.

Old Skool Dinners are social evenings for our mature or adult students, it is an opportunity for these students to get together, unwind and escape the stress and pressure of exams, research and or writing.

This formal event is for Pasifika students who have recently graduated and are acknowledged by the University and the community in a Pasifika celebration for both the graduate and their family.

To assist students with preparation for their exams, the Pacific Development Team organises study sessions where rooms and computer labs are booked for students to use. This is a great way to motivate you to get out of the house, and into university to study! 

Our end of year BBQ is to celebrate the end of a busy academic year! It is held in the study week so that you get a chance to take a break during your intensive study time.
