Maree Strange had been thinking about doing something like this for a while. When she discovered Astrid Jansens, a mother of a recent NMIT Te Pūkenga hairdressing graduate, cancer had returned, she decided to act.
These week-long exhibitions are organised and promoted by Level 6 Bachelor of Arts and Media(external link) ākonga (learners) who take on the role of curator, giving them the opportunity to learn and appreciate the amount of work and professionalism that is required in the gallery space.
Pepe is the recent recipient of the NMIT degree scholarship, which awards $6500 to course related costs. As she was not eligible for any fees-free study like some ākonga are during their first year, this was gratefully received.
The class was encouraged to all apply for the Nelson Pine Industries Ltd - Construction/Joinery Scholarship by tutor, Huw Morgan. The successful recipient takes home $1000 for course-related costs and is invited on a tour of the site.
She has been lucky enough to work in Central Otago for the past few years which focuses on premium pinot noir, so she is excited to see what the rest of New Zealand and the world of wine have to offer at varying price points through the New World Wine competition.
Jess Shirley, lens-based media tutor at NMIT Te Pūkenga, received a series of awards at the recent New Zealand Institute of Professional Photography (NZIPP) Iris Awards for 2023.
Sarah Arnold, programme support coordinator at NMIT Te Pūkenga in collaboration with international researchers and NMIT tutors and ākonga, has created a way for Nelson history to come alive at our fingertips.
Whether you're interested in a career in apiculture or thinking about having a hive in your backyard, the programme will give you valuable insight into the health and safety aspects, beehive construction, understanding bee biology and the legal requirements for owning bees and producing honey.
