We're diving into our final term starting this week, and what better way than hearing and learning from some great guests!

Ngā mihi nui to Lauradanna Radesic and Katy Ritchie from Hamilton City Council for a generous share with our final year Wintec Communication students - great to hear about your PRINZ award-winning campaign on local government elections.

It's always so valuable for ākonga to hear about best practice and to get some real insights into all of the mahi that goes on in the background of campaigns that we see and experience.

Nice story on Wintec graduate Kayla Bacon in last weekend’s Waikato Times.

Working as an auto electrician when Covid hit, Kayla was looking for a change, so she signed up for a Bachelor’s degree in Contemporary Art at Wintec.

“I started painting pet portraits but I always liked the 1970s era, op-shopping retro patterned or art deco pieces for my house. With a push from my tutors, I went into pattern. I’m a sucker for symmetry and hard lines, even back when I was painting portraits I was doing bold colours.”

Kayla’s work is included in the upcoming COW City of Wonder Festival.

Our Journalism students are out in the field, literally!

Wintec reporters are getting valuable experience this week as part of the media team at New Zealand's biggest sporting event, Zespri AIMS Games 2026.

The residential placement in the Bay of Plenty gives them the chance to work with a team of professional reporters and photographers to write quick-turnaround, daily stories.

Programme Coordinator, Cate Prestidge says "it's a thrill to see the students stepping up and growing in confidence, and a real boost for them seeing their stories picked up by news outlets around Aotearoa".

The AIMS placement has been a highlight for many years but typically just for 1-2 students. Cate was excited to expand the opportunity to the entire Journalism class this year.

"We've had great support from AIMS Media Manager, Jamie Troughton and journalist (and Wintec alumni) Zoe Hunter for many years, and with our larger group this year, it's been brilliant bringing on Keri Welham as our on-site tutor."

What an incredible shoot!

For our latest project-based learning assignment, our Wintec Year 2 Communication students recently conducted a video/photo shoot for a wonderful local medical clinic, K'aute Pasifika Medical Clinic.

Our goal? Capturing scenes that illustrate the clinic’s holistic approach to healthcare. The clinic provides services for everyone in our community, with a special heart and focus for Pasifika communities.

It was a true team effort with 14 cast members, an outstanding 8-student crew, and plenty of shared laughs. (And yes, sharing a big lunch together between takes was definitely a highlight!)

We are incredibly proud of our students for stepping up into the real world, gaining hands-on production experience, and helping tell such a meaningful community story.

Stay tuned to see the final project!
