An introduction to Toroa from Christina
Kia ora, Talofa Lava and warm greetings from Toroa
Toroa is a special place that has a great sense of community where our residents have the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of a campus life experience as they navigate their first year at Otago.
Our dedicated staff team understand that education is not limited to the lecture theatre. At Toroa, learning also comes from our academic support programme and also from our social events programme. These are complimented by the conversations, and the connections we all make within our close-knit community. In offering our residents the chance to further develop their confidence, competence and growth mindset we know they will be well on their way to achieving their goals.
Our residents are active, busy and engaged. Living closely with others does bring with it the need for personal responsibility, respect and consideration. With this in mind we have a well defined community standard to help ensure we all have a great year together.
Toroa provides a welcome and friendly space, where everyone can be themselves. We value our residents and the involvement and contributions they make to the Toroa community each year.
If you are interested in being part of this small dynamic community feel free to contact us.
We look forward to welcoming you and your whānau to the Toroa community
