N YOU. ACTI
We’re giving you the power to take action...
We’re passionate about empowering you so you can take action, stand up for the things you believe in, and strive to be the best you can. Our college is a mature environment where you will be responsible for your own learning. What you put in will be what you get out. College is very different from school. You’re now in control of what you want to study. You’re in control of how far you push yourself. You’re in control of where you go after college.
You are our number one focus, but we’re also passionate about doing our bit to protect the planet. Over the past few years, we have been installing energy efficient bulbs in all of our buildings, we have increased the number of recycling points across campus for you to recycle and and we are committed to reducing the amount of single-use plastic in our canteens and coffee shops.
But that’s not all... Our magnificent buildings, here in Hastings, use greener energy. Station Plaza is fitted with a Ground Heat Source System which efficiently reuses energy to keep the building cool in the summer and warm in the winter, and our Ore Valley campus roof has solar panels to harness the power of the sun to produce 70% of its electricity.
But one of the most significant change we’ve made is taking steps to offset our carbon footprint. We have planted 6,000 hardwood trees to capture at least 60,000 tonnes of CO2.
