Information about Whitireia Community Polytechnic
Whitireia Community Polytechnic is a government owned and funded
tertiary institute of technology, known for its high student success
rate and culturally diverse student body. It has grown since its
establishment in 1986 on the shores of Porirua Harbour, to become an
11,000 student operation with campuses in Auckland, Wellington, Kapiti
and Porirua.
In the last four years a capital programme has enhanced the main
Porirua campus with an award winning library, industry trades centre,
business and IT building, health and education centre and a new
technology ‘texlon’ covered central atrium.
Students consider the high academic quality of Whitireia programmes
to be a point of difference in the region and the culture of the campus,
represented by the support offered by tutors to be above all other
educational providers in the greater Wellington area.

and learning resources are exceptional.
