FL AVOUR OF

UCOL celebrates the diversity of
its students and graduates, with
the annual Flavour of Cultures
event. This event is a vibrant and
colourful celebration and gives
those attending the event a feeling
of being in another world with the
sights, sounds and tastes on offer.
Last year, guests were entertained with
Indian dancers, Chinese calligraphy and
an array of craft stalls and cuisines.
UCOL wanted to celebrate the array of
cultures represented on campus as well
as in Palmerston North. With the event
boasting audiences of several hundred
people, there is something to delight
everyone, from belly dancing, Irish dancers
and a Japanese drum team.
FLAVOUR OF

Students coming to UCOL from overseas
are encouraged to get involved, by doing
something interactive around their culture,
or to come along as a guest and soak up the

SENIOR FURNITURE LECTURER AND JOINERY LECTURER
Learning from the ground up was a great way to develop
the skills that would lead Andy to become a lecturer in the
Diploma in Fine Furniture at UCOL. S tarting out working as an
apprentice on the tools gave Andy an appreciation of the work
that needed to be done.
He decided to share his knowledge and passion and joined UCOL. Having
had real experience and working in industry Andy wanted to ensure that his
students get out of the classroom. “When working with wood, it’s not enough
to have it ready to work on in the classroom. I want them to see how it’s
milled. They need to hear it, see it, smell it”.
“This is about more than designing and making a functional piece of furniture.
This is about taking a slab of wood and turning it into someone’s prized
possession. It’s definitely an art”.

Post-study
work rights
Immigration New Zealand (INZ) have
recently announced changes to post-study
work rights for international students.
The proposed changes were as a result
of some international students seeking
to gain employment opportunities using
education as a pathway.
The proposed changes by INZ focused on ensuring that
the available pool of employment talent matched the
aspirations of New Zealand industries. The changes
also recognised the importance of the ‘regions’, but
encouraging prospective international students to enrol in
regional educational providers.
For example, one of the key initiatives offers students,
outside of Auckland, the opportunity to get an additional
year of work experience on completion of their qualification
