Pathways to Degrees Business Pathways Students who complete their New Zealand Diploma in Business at Aoraki Polytechnic are able to enter a Lincoln University Bachelor of Commerce degree directly at the second year level or alternatively go directly into Otago Polytechnic's and CPIT’s Bachelor of Applied Management.

“Essentially the new arrangement means that students completing, or who have completed, the New Zealand Diploma in Business in Timaru, Ashburton or Oamaru with Aoraki Polytechnic can start their degree in their home district, while actually living at home.”

A fully completed New Zealand Diploma in Business credits towards 1½ years of the Bachelor of Applied Management. The Bachelor of Applied Management has nine majors in which you can complete specific industry-related outcomes.

“Then there’s the educationally significant point that the South Canterbury students will come into the Lincoln University course with some solid study experience behind them and the confidence that comes from having finished a qualification, the business studies diploma. They will be off to a good start as second year degree students at Lincoln University.”

Aoraki Polytechnic’s agreement with these institutions sees Aoraki working closely to ensure people in our region have direct access to Degree level-study upon completion of their studies with us.

Lincoln University is New Zealand’s specialist land-based university and is proud to be working with Aoraki Polytechnic to bring university-level study into the South Canterbury region.

Bachelor of Arts and Media NMIT

CPIT is excited to be working closely with Aoraki Polytechnic to provide a pathway for students studying information technology to progress from Aoraki directly into our Bachelor of Information Communications Degree programme (BICT) and gain full credit for successful completion of courses.

FASHION DESIGN Competition Accolades

Ashley Campbell Diploma in Fashion Design (Level 6) Diploma in Fashion Design student Ashley Campbell is hoping to do one better at this year’s Hokonui fashion awards. Last year Ashley’s garment was placed second in the denim section, “it took me three months of preparation and seven pairs of used jeans to make the garment.”

This year Ashley has created a full length jacket and dress to enter the competition which is held in July in Gore.

“I was completing a business programme with Aoraki and was looking through the prospectus. The fashion programme really jumped out at me.” Ashley is happy with her change of study direction and completed the Diploma in Fashion and Design (Level 5) in 2010.

This year she is enrolled in the Diploma in Fashion

Design (Level 6). “I had a bit of sewing experience before I starting the Diploma, but have learnt a lot about the design process of creating a garment from start to finish.”

Aoraki Polytechnic’s annual ‘Pose’ fashion show is a further exhibiting opportunity Ashley is looking forward to, “it’s another great chance to showcase our work”. Pose is held in October at the Timaru campus and is organised and coordinated by the diploma students as part of their assessments.

Ultimately Ashley wants to work in the fashion industry designing and creating garments, “I know it is a tough industry to crack but I’m excited about a career in fashion.”

“By putting the dove in my paintings it gives the hope of peace. The dove is represented by many countries and religions as a sign of peace, going back thousands of years. I hope that people can look at my work and feel that peace.”

Rhonda Huggins

Rhonda Huggins

Diploma in Painting – Ashburton Teacher Aide, Rhonda Huggins is a Diploma in Painting student at Aoraki Polytechnic’s Ashburton campus. “I can’t believe how much painting techniques have changed over the years. I am learning more on how to put my heart into my work and I have gained the confidence to do this.”

As pictured Rhonda has recently completed a series of paintings based around peace represented through doves. Each student was instructed to take influence and inspiration from an artist they had researched to create three series of their own work. “I studied Kandenski the Russian painter and art theorist, I used his influence to create geometric versions of my dove paintings.”

Rhonda uses the skills she learns for the development and sale of her own works and as inspiration in the classroom while teacher aiding, “I am very interested in sharing art and to explain the meaning of it that I often think gets lost.”

“I gained the knowledge and industry contacts I needed to start my successful beauty therapy business” Summer Garden-Phiskie

Summer Garden-Phiskie Qualified Beauty Therapist

Studying beauty therapy at Aoraki Polytechnic has worked out very well for 2010 graduate, Summer Garden. After starting a family, Summer wanted to start a career in beauty therapy, “I wasn’t adamant it’s what I wanted to do, I am interested in sciences and wanted to make sure there would be enough of that embedded into it, so I chatted with the tutor and she cemented my decision.”

Summer completed her studies in Beauty Therapy to Level 5 at Aoraki Polytechnic. “It covers a huge range of skills and knowledge in beauty therapy and I can’t credit my tutor enough for her help and guidance, even now I still ask her for advice.”

Summer was the regional winner of the Wendy Hill bridal make-up competition held nationally every year and named in the top five in New Zealand. Summer was also named the Top Beauty Student for the class of 2010 at Aoraki’s Timaru campus graduation.

To top off a very successful year, Summer now runs her own beauty therapy clinic at Addict Hair at the Washdyke Ken Wills Complex. She juggles being a mother and running a successful business. “From Aoraki we were introduced to skin care representatives, makeup artist, leaders in the industry and clinic visits. Because of this I have the knowledge of products and people I would, and would not work with. Thanks to Aoraki I was ‘good to go’ to make Addict Beauty a success.”

Pathway to the Bachelor of Business Studies through Open Polytechnic.

Ginny Davenport Diploma in Business (Accounting) “Before Aoraki Polytechnic I was at home raising our three children for the best part of 12 years. I decided that I wanted to return to the workforce, but really had no specific qualifications.

“I decided that I needed to gain a qualification in order to secure reasonable and challenging employment.

Hence the reason I enrolled in the Diploma in Business, endorsed in accounting. I did initially look at studying by correspondence, but decided against that, as we have a wonderful local resource. It was handy for me to get to, the times worked well with the children at school, and classroom type learning appealed to my style of learning. Aoraki Polytechnic not only provided me with an excellent base for starting on my degree pathway, but

also provided me with wonderful social interaction, the flavour and culture of which I don't believe I would have received in any other organisation locally.

“In my second year of study, when I was a full time student, I saw a vacancy for a role in an accountants office. While I did not apply specifically for the role, (thinking I was under qualified), I did ask them to keep me in mind if something came up in the future.

They gave me an interview immediately, and much to my surprise, I got the job. Quite a juggle then took place with study and work, but I was determined to successfully complete my diploma, which I did at the end of 2010. "

"The class hours were perfect and there was a diverse range of students in the class."

Marty Godwin

Marty Godwin Certificate in Business Ownership (CBO) A qualified nurse for over 25 years, Marty wanted to go out on his own. He enrolled in Aoraki Polytechnic’s Certificate in Business Ownership with a loose plan in place, “I went along with an idea of selling mobility products. From my nursing background I saw a gap in the market to make mobility and rehabilitation products easily available and try to remove the stigma.”

“Although owning your own business is a lot of work, the freedom is great and I’m glad I made the change.

CBO encouraged me to go ahead with “More Mobility” and also think outside the realm of just selling products.

I also organise servicing, installation and rental options of all rehabilitation and mobility products. I’d like to think it’s a one stop shop.”

“I went with all the ideas but needed a plan and advice to work with. The programme gave me a plan with aims, knowledge on GST and taxation, marketing ideas and the danger and pitfalls about ownership of your own business. A lot of businesses fall over in the second year through lack of knowledge about taxes in the second year of business.”

The classes are held in the evenings, outside of normal working hours. “The class hours were perfect and there was a diverse range of students in the class. From those who already owned businesses to those, like me, who just had an idea. It was a great chance to network and bounce ideas off each other.”

Aroha Kingi Certificate in Professional Office Management Originally from Mount Maunganui, Aroha moved to Timaru and no longer wanted to be stuck in a minimum wage job, “I worked in retail from the age of 17 and wanted to get out. I knew I had to gain some better qualifications to increase my opportunities.” Aroha completed the New Zealand Diploma in Business in 2009, “It was daunting going back to study at the age of 32, especially with the thought of exams and tests but I was blown away by the support I received. Graduation was a very proud moment.”

Last year Aroha wanted to continue her studies with Aoraki and completed the Certificate in Professional Office Management (CPOM). “The practical nature of this programme is spot on, the skills in publisher, mail

merge, Outlook and reprographics is exactly what you need in the industry.”

As part of the CPOM programme Aroha completed work experience at Presbyterian Support. “After I completed my course, Family Works (Subsidiary of Presbyterian Support) contacted me and asked if I would apply for a position that had come up. I accepted and have been there a few months now. I really enjoy it.”

Aroha is happy in her current position but is still interested in gaining a degree. “Maybe one day I would like to complete a degree in Human Resources or Business Psychology.”

Peter Green Cookery (Level 4) and now Culinary Arts (Level 5) In 2010 Peter Green graduated with a Certificate in Cookery, with a dream to become a pastry chef.

Peter is continuing his studies in 2011 and enrolled in the Certificate in Culinary Arts with Aoraki.

Peter works part time at the industry renowned, Cuisine Magazine Restaurant of the Year, Riverstone Kitchen in Oamaru, which he gained through Aoraki. “I got the job while on work experience organised by Aoraki – Riverstone were impressed and offered me a position.” Peter counts himself lucky to be surrounded by quality tutors and colleagues during his training, “My tutors from Aoraki are outstanding and I’ve been pretty lucky to be learning from them and Bevan at Riverstone."

2011 has seen a once in a lifetime opportunity for Peter, who just spent six weeks in France in the French Champagne district, including three weeks at St Josephs Hospitality school and then a further three weeks' work placement at a five star Chateau restaurant. “It was a brilliant opportunity.

I had a blast and met fantastic people and now have unique French skills and knowledge that I can incorporate in my cooking.” The exchange is paid for by fundraising from Aoraki Polytechnic and is an annual exchange running for the first time in 2011.

Peter speaks ‘survival’ French, “I learnt some French before I left from a CD in my car, then picked up a lot more while I was over there!”

Peter is looking forward to completing his Certificate in Culinary Arts and hopes to head back to France, “I have made some key contacts over there now which will be very helpful to a successful career.”

Peter wants to be a pastry chef and believes the chance to learn in France will be a significant advantage to launch his career, “France is the perfect place to learn from the best and to get ahead in patisserie, as they are in the forefront of the bakery world.”

The courses were both great and provided a wide range of relevant, practical industry experience.

The work experience placements in particular were very useful in gaining an insight into what to expect after finding employment. Aoraki's tutors were knowledgeable, approachable and most importantly made it a fun environment to learn in!

One of the highlights of my courses was representing Aoraki in the Toque d'Or Cooking Competition in Auckland.

Matt Wicks Diploma in Radio Matt Wicks is running towards a career in radio.

The Aoraki Polytechnic Diploma in Radio student is the latest addition to the Edge’s Dunedin roadrunner team.

He’s only just started the one year diploma and he’s already scored a job in the industry he wants to work in.

“Working for the Edge will be a great experience, it’s really early in the course and I’m starting out where I want to be.There can’t be anything better than training to work in radio and actually working in radio at the same time.”

Matt won a place in the Edge’s roadrunner team in a recent promotion.The station was so impressed with his application that it gave him a part-time job.

54

Aoraki Polytechnic Programme Information 2012

0800 426 725 www.aoraki.ac.nz

The 24-year-old is no stranger to radio: he used to do voice-overs for radio advertisements for his former employer, Dunedin Casino.

“It turned out that I had a good voice for radio – that’s what my workmates and friends used to say – and I suppose I’m not afraid to be the centre of attention and make a fool of myself. I decided I should take a chance and go for it, and I was pretty lucky that Aoraki had such a good school and the Edge was keen to have me.”

Matt expects to end the one year Diploma programme well and truly ready for whatever the radio industry throws at him.

“It’s an exciting industry, and every day will have a new challenge. I’m going to make the most of this year and, hopefully, get a full-time job at a station like the Edge.”

Christian Hayes Certificate in Film and Television Christian got his first taste of editing film back when he was a primary school pupil in Christchurch but it set the scene for his future career plans.

The former Burnside High School pupil heard about Aoraki’s Certificate in Film and Television from the school’s careers advisor – a course that fulfilled all his expectations. He got to make a music video featuring a metal band, but perhaps his proudest moment was seeing his short film on the big screen.

“Goodbye Son” evoked a stronger reaction from the audience than Christian had expected, many with tears in their eyes after watching the story of a son saying goodbye to his father for what might be the last time.

But one of the best things about studying at Aoraki’s Christchurch campus for Christian was the friendly atmosphere. “It feels like everyone is your friend.

Everyone is friendly and happy.”

Christian has moved on to study on the Diploma in Television Production programme.

“Aoraki Polytechnic provided me with the skills and knowledge to open my own Business.”

Shirley Nolan

Shirley Nolan Certificate in Digital Photography (Level 4) I completed the Aoraki Polytechnic Certificate in Digital Photography 2009 course.

Having been away from a classroom for many years, I wasn't sure how I would cope with the classroom environment and all the study and assignments but I thoroughly enjoyed the challenge. I learnt some excellent photography skills, the importance of a Business Plan for starting my own business, not to over think everything when given a brief, putting it all down on paper for the assignments. Age doesn't matter and sometimes it is best to be taken out of your comfort zone to get what you want out of life.

I enjoyed the trips away to the Catlin’s and Tekapo to use the camera in different situations, getting to know the other students and the fun we had as a

class, meeting other photographers from successful businesses, learning how they all had to start somewhere and how they got where they are today.

I found the support of our Tutor Ron Lindsay, excellent. The knowledge he had to share has been great, he made it easy to understand the modules, and is still ongoing with support nearly a year after the course finished.

I found the facilities at Aoraki really good with 24/7 access to the Mac computer Suite and photography studio.

Excitingly Aoraki Polytechnic provided me with the skills and knowledge to open my own Business “Thru my Eyes Photography” in Stafford St, Timaru.

Jarrod Walsh Certificate in Advertising Design and Multimedia and Web Design “After choosing to leave school, I was faced with a big decision of what to do the coming year.

There were a handful of options shown to me but the two that stood out were the ‘Advertising Design’ and ‘Multimedia and Web Design’ programmes offered at Aoraki Polytechnic. Always having an interest in graphics and computing at school, I decided enrolling in these programmes was my best option.

In Advertising Design I learnt a wide range of skills and design concepts within the Adobe Suite software. I am now much more confident using the design programmes within the package.

I also found the Multimedia and Web Design course very beneficial. It was great to learn how to build a variety of different websites using HTML, Cascading Stylesheets (CSS) and Dreamweaver. I really enjoyed learning about making animations in Adobe Flash and maintaining an online shop.

With all the skills and knowledge that I learnt over the year I secured a job at The Otago Daily Times in Dunedin with three weeks of the course still to go! I am looking forward to putting my skills and knowledge into practice."

Laura Hall Certificate in Media Communication (Level 4) Laura had a very specific goal in mind when she signed up for Aoraki’s Media Communication programme – to gain entry to the New Zealand Broadcasting School.

The course was suggested to Laura by a tutor at the Broadcasting School as a good entry level course which would give her a good grounding to apply for a place on the course.

It all paid off and Laura won a coveted place on the course and is moving along the pathway to achieving her dream job working as a television journalist.

Francesca Thompson Certificate in Outdoor Recreation (Level 4) Francesca Thompson has joined the New Zealand Army and is being sponsored to study!

Frankie, as she is known to friends and family, is currently living in Australia and attending the Australian Defence Force Academy (ADFA) in Canberra whilst undergoing military training and studying towards a degree in Civil Engineering through the University of New South Wales. She is one of only three New Zealanders to be selected to attend ADFA and firmly believes her Certificate in Outdoor Education, gained last year at the Aoraki Polytechnic, prepared her well for the five day Officer Selection Board (OSB) at Trentham Camp, Wellington, in December .

ADFA is a unique partnership between the Australian Defence Force (ADF) and the University of New South Wales (UNSW) which provides training and education for the future leaders of the Australian Navy, Army and Air Force plus a few select individuals from other countries. Following Initial Officer Training at Wairou Camp, the NZ Army Kippenberger Scheme normally sponsors up to fifteen officer cadets annually through an approved

undergraduate degree at Massey University.

Together they form the Kippenberger Class, based at Linton Military camp (Palmerston North). This year the top three cadets, based on NCEA results, performance and interviews, were offered a place at ADFA and Frankie was one of them! This is the first time the NZ Army has sent any cadets to ADFA for three years.

After completing Year 13 at Craighead Diocesan School in 2009 Frankie applied for the 2010 Certificate in Outdoor Recreation at Aoraki Polytechnic. She had always considered the army as a career but did not feel ready; she now believes the skills, knowledge, confidence and “I can do it” mentality learnt from gaining the Outdoor Recreation Certificate at Aoraki gave her the edge at OSB and ultimate selection for ADFA. Frankie says “Although I miss my Aoraki mates and going on to study for a Diploma, I shall never forget the experience, companionship, knowledge and respect for the outdoors I learnt at Aoraki Polytechnic during 2010 under the direction of some outstanding instructors. Much of it has come in handy already!”

Bree Cumming Diploma in Sport and Fitness “I first heard about Aoraki’s Sport and Fitness Programme at a careers day at school, the fact that it was situated at QEII Stadium was a big pull for me.” Bree was lucky enough to win a scholarship for Aoraki Polytechnic and came straight from school to complete the two year Diploma in Sport and Fitness in 2008 and 2009.

"There are a few sport programmes around but what I liked about Aorkai’s is the broad nature of the course, I learnt skills and knowledge in sports science, fitness, instructing, management, and nutrition – everything sport related! Therefore when I finished I had options to choose where I wanted to specialise in the industry.

"Our tutors were top class , going out of their way to help you out, and the facilities were outstanding, even out of class time we had access to the gym, track and swimming pool. " Bree chose personal training as her career pathway and is currently working as a fitness instructor at Les Mills Gym in Christchurch.

“The lessons about building rapport and the psychology of sport have been particularly helpful, and obviously the physical stuff too”.

A new programme to Aoraki has seen the appointment of a new tutor and industry professional – Craig Caple. Aoraki Polytechnic is the only provider in the South Island to offer the 34 week certificate in Preemployment Brick, Block and Paving (Level 3). Craig Caple, who was the 2007 national runner up for the apprentice of the year has been in the industry for seven years, “I fell into it as an off season job and found I had a real talent for it. I had to complete my apprenticeship through block courses in Wellington, so it’s fantastic to have some local training available, as it means you get the chance to work with relevant materials to the region, like Oamaru stone”.

TRADES AND AGRICULTURE

Developing clean and safe work habits

The occupation of a bricklayer is listed on the New Zealand Immediate Skills shortage list and is in demand internationally. “There is definitely a need for specialist brickies in the industry, certain skills like working with schist is in high demand but becoming a lost art”.

Teaching is a new adjustment for Craig, who is extremely excited to pass on his very current knowledge and experience from working for a local Timaru brick and block laying company. “My tutors in Wellington were fantastic and I remember looking at them thinking that would be something I could see myself doing, the position came up and I jumped at the chance.”

The pre-employment brick and block programme will focus on the basics of brick and block but also incorporate decorative paving and edging and the chance to be creative, “I want to produce students who think outside the box and go to their clients with fresh ideas.” The programme will include industry visits to the Oamaru and Bluestone quarries, and examples of local jobs and construction sites, “It’s important to understand a construction site as a whole and where brickies fit into the mix."
