FUTURES BUILT DURING
HOUSE CONSTRUCTION
The Palmerston North, Levin, Taumarunui and
Wairarapa UCOL Carpentry programmes have built 20
houses in total since 2010.
It takes about eight months for each house to be built by the Certificate in
Carpentry students, under the close scrutiny of their lecturers.
The house builds also offer New Zealand Certificate in Electrical
Engineering Theory students the opportunity to work on a real life project
and use it as a model for their trade studies.
UCOL’s Construction Programme Leader David Freebairn says the house
building initiative takes teaching to a highly practical level. “Carpentry
students experience for themselves what it’s like to work on a real building
site with a team of builders under strict Health and Safety requirements.
Everything they are learning to do is of full size scale and to a very high
standard.”
“I know the students gain a great deal of satisfaction and sense of
achievement from UCOL’s house building projects and many of them go on
to employment and apprenticeship opportunities,” he says.

MORE THAN
JUST A NUMBER
At UCOL, we know that students
learn best when they have great
support from dedicated teachers
who understand their individual
strengths and help them develop
new ones. Above all else we
value the relationships between
learners and teachers.
We use a relationship-based teaching
and learning approach across our
programmes at all campuses – Te
Atakura – which is enhancing educational
experience and outcomes, especially for
Ma-ori learners.
As a name, ‘Te Atakura’ is taken from the
waiata Whakataka te Hau, referring to a
certain time/phase of the dawn which for
Ma-ori symbolises a new day, a new start
and a time of opportunity.
The principle behind Te Atakura is that
relationships matter! Te Atakura focuses
on the importance of relationships at

about student success. Our students and
