When you're a student every dollar counts right? So it's great when a business acknowledges your study effort and offers you a discount. To fully benefit, make sure you have your valid NMIT student ID card on you at all times. Your student ID card is all you need for the best discounts in Nelson, Motueka and Marlborough.

It is common practice at Te Pūkenga NMIT to welcome manuhiri (visitors / guests), staff and students in a formal and traditional welcoming ceremony.
The intention of the mihi whakatau at Te Pūkenga NMIT is to welcome you and celebrate the beginning or continuation of your learning journey.
It is rich with symbolism and follows a special process ultimately uniting two separate groups: tangata whenua (hosts) and manuhiri (guests), together as one.
Whilst parts of a mihi whakatau may vary according to the occasion, Māori language remains a key feature.
