We all have a photo from our childhood that revealed our true identity - even before we knew ourselves.....

Rainbow Room re-opening

Celebrate the launch of a new Rainbow Room re-opening in Unit 2 (opposite Te Kāuta Café mezzanine across the carpark) at the New Plymouth campus. This is intended as a safe space for Rainbow students and their allies where you can relax, study and meet other like-minded people. You will also find information about local events and activities and be able to connect with advocates and services in the wider community. Please respect the space, respect each other and clean up after yourselves.

If you have concerns or suggestions related to the Rainbow Room and how you would like to see it used, please contact Rainbow@witt.ac.nz
