Whākawhānaukataka
The Inter-College Competition is grounded in the value of Whākawhānaukataka. We hope that through participation in the programme, students will create connections and a develop a sense of belonging to Otago. We aim to help students achieve a balanced first year experience and to interact not only with their own college but with the wider collegiate community.
