Graduation is a time to celebrate our learners and their achievements throughout their student journey with Open Polytechnic.
The Open Polytechnic Wellington Graduation Ceremony will be held on Thursday 14 May at 3:30pm at the Michael Fowler Centre, 111 Wakefield Street, Te Aro, Wellington. The Gowning Room will be open from 1pm - 2:30pm on graduation day.
We will have an official photographer at graduation and we will have a roving Open Polytechnic photographer and videographer taking photos and videos before and after the official graduation ceremony for our Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn pages. So don’t be shy, get your photo or video taken and we’ll upload them to our Open Polytechnic social media channels.
Join in the Open Polytechnic conversation by using the hashtag: #opnzgrad when sharing your graduation photos and updates on Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn.
You can watch the livestream for the ceremony through this link: https://www.openpolytechnic.ac.nz/current-students/graduation/graduation-live-stream/
