For whānau
Information about how you can support your whānau/family studying with the Faculty of Arts.
- Moving from secondary school to university is a big change - there is a big difference between secondary school work and university study.
- Understand the University workload students will have during the year.
- Help them to develop good time management and organisational skills.
- Provide a quiet place for them to study.
- Help them to stay motivated.
- Be aware of their assignment deadlines and exam schedules.
- Allow them the time they need to do their course work and study for exams.
- Encourage them to seek help early.
