Final year Wintec | Te Pūkenga Bachelor of Design students studying Visual Communication have been set a task to develop designs for a series of bilingual (English and Te Reo Māori) outdoor signs which present site-specific narratives to the local community, mana whenua, and visitors to the coastal town of Port Waikato.
The Theatre stream of Wintec | Te Pūkenga Bachelor of Music and Performing Arts is getting ready for its end-of-year musical, The Drowsy Chaperone. Billed as a “musical within a comedy”, this year’s offering promises to be a hilarious night out at the theatre. At its heart, The Drowsy Chaperone is an affectionate send-up of all the tropes and conventions of classic Broadway musicals.
Wintec | Te Pūkenga Media Arts ākonga are extremely excited to share their creative work this year. Graduating Art and Design, Communication, and Music and Performing Arts students will display their work at multiple events during 15-25 November. The showcase is a window into the creativity of Media Arts ākonga (students) from across the disciplines and these events celebrate this fresh talent and hard work in front of an audience of peers, whānau and the wider community.
Wintec is part of Te Pūkenga - New Zealand Institute of Skills and Technology Learn More
