| MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN OF THE WELLINGTON POLYTECHNIC COUNCIL The 1989 Annual Report on the activities and achievements of Wellington Polytechnic is the first report which has been prepared in conformity with the New Zealand Society of Accountants Public Sector Accounting concepts. I[...]n important step in public accountability through the provision of tangible evidence in non financial terms of the service the Polytechnic provides for its various communities. Wellington Polytechnic provides a wide range of vocational education ranging from pre trade/pre e[...]t body is drawn not only from Wellington City and the wider Wellington region, but from all over New Zealand, as some of the programmes provided have established a national reputation of excellence. I am delighted that the Wellington Polytechnic is well placed to take advantage of the changes which will occur in tertiary education once the Learning for Life reforms have been implem[...] |
| [...]al 1989 was an interesting and challenging year. The promise of change in tertiary education was outlined in the 1988 Hawke Report and the statements of Government intention in Learning for Life 1 and 2 added an air of excitement. Administratively the year was marked by a considerable increase in requests from the Department of Education as well as other Working Groups to provide information and comment which was required as part of the consultative process in implementing the changes. On the negative side the degree of uncertainty generated by the pending changes had an unsettling effect on the Polytechnic as a whole. The Wellington Polytechnic Council, in consultation with staff and the community served by the Polytechnic, developed its Interim Charter for 1990. In order to obtain feedback on the final draft version of the Charter copies were distributed to a large number of employers representative of a wide range of industries as well as senior members from Employe[...]industry sponsored promotional breakfast at which the Minister of Education was the guest of honour and keynote speaker. During the year the activities of the Polytechnic came under the scrutiny of a Ministerial team which was given the task of reporting on Polytechnic education in the Wellington region. The report was released in March 1990 and recommended the transfer of some trades courses from the Wellington Polytechnic to the Hutt Valley Polytechnic. The Wellington City Council's Planning Review of the Mt Cook region began and it soon became apparent[...]on a site between King Street and Tasman Street. The Polytechnic's output measured in Weighted Student Hours increased over the previous year and our staff utilisation was in balance with base line formula requirements. The trend towards full-time study continued as did the downturn in demand for part-time evening classes.[...]rses has remained strong even though a new system of tertiary tuition fees was introduced. Educational With the change over from AAVA and TCB to the new National Educational Qualifications Authority (NEQA) a greater degree of professional responsibility for curriculum development and assessment of student performance is being |
| transferred to institutions. This has increased the workload of some of our teaching staff who had previously taught stud[...]llabi for externally set and marked examinations. The transfer of these responsibilities for which many were not well prepared has made us more conscious of the need to increase our in-house professional develo[...]aff in meeting these new requirements. Three out of four of our "Innovative Teaching Initiative" proposals were successful in attracting financial grants from the Department of Education. In order to better serve any of our students with learning difficulties, a Learni[...]as established and staffed. Our involvement with the LINK programme was increased and a variety of tester modules are now offered to secondary schoo[...]hips with our secondary schools which have led to the provision of a series of careers evenings conducted by Wellington Polytech[...]extremely low in 1989. This may be a consequence of general labour market conditions but I consider it to be a reflection of the challenging and satisfying conditions our dedicated staff experience at the Wellington Polytechnic. A number of activities were initiated during the year: - A consultative process to develop a performance appraisal system for all staff has begun. - The development of an EEO plan has been initiated. - Anti Sexual Ha[...]nvironment which had suffered from a 10 year lack of attention by : the Department of Education has been considerably improved by the completion of a new building to house the School of Nursing and Health Education, as well as other m[...]ry welcome building projects. We were honoured by the presence of His Excellency the Governor General of New Zealand, the Most Reverend Sir Paul Reeves, who officially opened the new Nursing and Health |
| Education block and who was assisted by members of our Maori and Pacific Island communities in blessing the building. Parking, especially off street parking[...]to overcome this are in preparation. Conclusion The Wellington Polytechnic is well known as the Capital City's Polytechnic. The quality and dedication of its staff has led to the development of programmes which enjoy a reputation well beyond i[...]both teaching and general staff will ensure that the Polytechnic is well placed to meet the challenges and opportunities offered by the tertiary education reforms. |

| SCHOOL REVIEWS SCHOOL OF COMMERCE Growth in NCB enrolments, a 20% increase, offset the loss of NDA students as a result of the loss of accreditation to teach the National Diploma in Accountancy. Significant growth in the Legal Executives programme was also a feature. In the Business Studies area the year was characterised by retrenchment and consolidation of administrative changes implemented at the end of 1988. The result has been to give a firm foundation for progress into the 1990s. The Office Systems area of the school had a good year - all four Secretarial cou[...]patronised. Pass rates have been high, with many of the Administrative Secretarial students electing to return in 1990 to join the full NCB programme. During the latter half of 1989 meetings were held with other Polytechnics w[...]d for 1990. We hope that modularisation will give the Secretarial programmes an even broader base, offering more pathways to students than has been the case in the past. In 1989 also, the New Zealand Representative in the Office Skills section at the International Skills Olympics held in Birmingham was a past student of the school. She won her place as New Zealand representative through a series of competitions and eliminations held in New Zealand[...]etition, candidates must have been under 21 years of age at the time the international competition is held. The New Zealand representative was 19 years of age when she went to Birmingham after winning the national competition in New Zealand.

At the end of the year, a revision seminar was held for Carpentry apprentices about to attempt Trade Certificate. , The Technician and Diploma courses received a boost during the year with the approval to purchase a further 12 computers to complete the class set to 20. Investigation was started to further enhance the twenty computers by networking with an in house server. Considerable financial help has been received from the New Zealand Institute of Quantity Surveyors for the installation of new equipment. The strengths of the Diploma Courses (and particularly the Diploma in Quantity Surveying) are the very close links with industry and the strong professional contacts. All tutors are enco[...]are also encouraged in all trade tutors.

Some of the highlights were textiles hosted a Japanese scholarship student from Naruto University of Education and work by our students was exhibited in Japan courtesy of the NZ/Japanese Society.

| [...]ogrammes in overseas universities. 1989 also saw the introduction of the Apple Mackintosh's and Commodore Amiga computer l[...]es at Hansen Street although being separated from the main design campus is not ideal. SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING The School of Engineering offered a broad range of Technician and Trade programmes in areas of Civil and Mechanical Engineering, Surveying, Auto[...]elding and service courses for other schools. In the area of Technician Engineering there was a noticeable move towards full- time courses. The school continued to offer part-time courses but students could complete Stages 1 to 3 in the first full-time year and Stages 4 and 5 in the second year. Work skills programmes were included[...]to be very popular with students and employers. The majority of our students taking the NZ Certificate in Survey Draughting had been employed by government departments. Because of Government restructuring and poor job availability we have experienced a downturn in students attending. The proposal now is to offer a full-time Stage 3 and 4 for 1990. This has now been implemented. In the Computer Aided Draughting area courses are offered to many full-time programmes throughout the Polytechnic and also seminars and part courses for industry. The Automotive Department of the school ran programmes including Block Courses to[...], Access Courses and a two year full-time course. The graduates from the foundation courses have been eagerly sought by the trade.

| The Fitting and Turning Department has now successfully introduced the new 16 week programmes in Basic Mechanical Engineering Training Skills. SCHOOL OF FASHION AND FOOD The School of Fashion and Food consists of Departments of Fashion Design and Technology, Catering and Hospitality, and Hairdressing. The Department of Fashion Design and Technology, known as Clothing[...]udents at Stage 2 level and 44 students completed the Stage 1 year of the course. The staff complement comprised six full-time and two[...]part-time tutors with a 0.8 technician position. The Head of School also contributed to the teaching programme with a weekly commitment. The Department of Hairdressing offered the TCB 3 year apprentice trade based training in Hai[...]ificate levels. All hairdressing apprentices from the Wellington area attend a period of four weeks block training at Wellington Polytechnic in two lots of two weeks. 1989 saw the introduction of a Foundation class in Hairdressing and Hospitality. Students completing the course were able to apply for apprenticeships. There was also the two week block courses at trade certificate level programmed for correspondence students from the greater Wellington region. The staff complement was two full-time and two part-time tutors. The Department of Catering and Hospitality, known as Food and Catering up to and including 1989, offered the TCB 3 year apprentice trade based training in Professional Cookery. Wellington Polytechnic is the only tertiary institution in the greater Wellington region which offers cookery training past the first year of an apprenticeship. Cookery courses were programm[...]and day release basis. All students studying for the TCB Professional Cookery course had to be in empl[...]ble for acceptance on a course. This being due to the extreme shortage of kitchen accommodation ie one production/ training kitchen which is in use for 70 hours/week. The accommodation available cannot allow for pre-empl[...]cookery. There was one part-time course at each of Stage 1 and Stage 2 level in Quantity Cookery hel[...]als. There was a substantial programme offered in the Hospitality service area. TCB and HCITB food, beverage and bar service courses were held throughout the year on a part- time basis. As mentioned a[...] |
| related with Hairdressing. The staff complement comprised six full-time and thre[...]with two full-time technicians. Link courses in the School of Fashion and Food continued to grow and courses were held in Fashion, Hairdressing, Catering and Tourism. The school had a Class Materials and Repairs and Maintenance budget of $56,000.00 and had a turnover of close to $500,000.00. Due to the type of operational structure recoveries are made in all three departments by means of a Fashion Boutique, a Restaurant, and a Hairdressing Salon. The school was supported and administrated by one full-time and one part-time secretary under the management of one Head of School. SCHOOL OF LANGUAGES AND COMMUNICATION The School of Languages and Communication was formed from major segments of the former Schools of General Studies and of Languages at the end of academic year 1987. The School offers full-time courses in Journalism, Mu[...]bic), and Communication Skills. With this degree of diversity, the four sections of the School have had different foci of development. The Conservatorium of Music, which shifted from its former cramped and dilapidated quarters in Tasman Street to the refurbished former Chest Hospital on Mount Victoria at the start of 1988, has been accustoming itself to a building w[...]oblems with security and with isolation. However, the staff are looking forward to 1990 when the first year intake will be increased by 25% and th[...]a fourth year course which will incorporate much of the function of the former 'Schola Musica’ whose last director has[...]nt a considerable change in 1987/1988 as a result of industry advice, changing from a one year to a one semester format.

| Communication Skills is largely dependent on the demand for its services of other Schools, principally Commerce, Science and[...]e with those other Schools which in turn, reflect the general economy in some degree. To offset this, C[...]s are that a market need will be met. As a result of a nationwide conference of Communication Skills departments in Auckland recently, work will be done in 1990 to reform and modernise the syllabus. Languages, which since its inception h[...]ated in ancient primitive prefabricated buildings of unlovely aspect on Buckle Street, will, along with Maori Studies, move to the prefabricated village on the Tasman Street side of the main campus during the Summer vacation period. Inevitably there will be[...]t staff and students have responded positively to the prospect of a more pleasant environment. It should prove possible to implement the modular structure for migrant settlement/ESL programs recommended by various conferences during the last five years - and prove much more feasible to bring in specialists from other Schools as appropriate to the topic of individual modules. The ESL staff will in their turn, be able to offer assistance to staff and students in other Schools. In the Foreign Language area, business Japanese and business German will be on offer in association with the Commerce School's NCB course. Thanks to a recent special staffing grant from the DOE to develop business Spanish and business Chin[...]some music students is understood to be unique in the English-speaking world. We are investigating set[...]ist those who are entering tertiary education for the first time and who feel that they need to improve basic study skills and acquire useful techniques. SCHOOL OF MAAORI STUDIES A full and continuous programme of intensive courses was offered throughout 1989 including provision of an early January course for those students wishing to go on to do the Tohu Maaoritanga paper at Victoria University. The programme attracted a more mature age group of students wishing to top off their aural Maaori. They came from Ako Pai (the College of Education) and Herenga Waka (Victoria University). Enrolment numbers were down reflecting the fact that the catchment area was now much smaller. Previously students came from all over the country because the programme was considered unique. Now several othe[...]d and offered programmes although not necessarily the same. Many of 13 |
| the Maaori students were looking for things Maaori, that is, the Maaori language as applied in a Maaori environment, the customs and their application today, history in terms of their tribe, the meaning of the Treaty of Waitangi and Tino Rangatiratanga, new structures[...]d off-campus courses, in response to demands from the Conservation Department, Black Power and Te Kakano (local Maaori Women's Groups). The full programme ensured a constant demand on staffing and an increase to the Nursing & Health Education School tutors will bring the number to three. A well organised Kohanga Reo programme brought credit to the School. For the future there is a challenge in the preparation of detailed work plans and the anticipated move to on-campus - Wallace Street. So far there has been a need to keep a watching brief on the construction of the buildings on the Marae to preserve cultural awareness and sensitivity. During the year we were unfortunate to lose the services of staff, one a gifted linguist and an acknowledged able teacher of the Maaori language and customs, and another a fine teacher of the Reo Maaori and Tikanga Maaori, who contributed much to the life of the School. This latter was to take up a secondment to the Transition Education Unit of the Department of Education. The change to the basis of funding courses has adversely affected the School and will continue into the new year. It will be necessary to develop self-funding courses to combat the loss of income. Overall, the year 1989 was somewhat quieter than expected, but a year of anticipation as prospects of moving from the dilapidated buildings of the Buckle Street site to the main campus and superior buildings moved towards realisation, with the approaching year's end. SCHOOL OF NURSING AND HEALTH EDUCATION 1989 was an important year for the school. March brought the much-anticipated move to the new building and the Governor-General performed the formal opening ceremony on 2 June. This new home for the school provides much needed teaching space and a[...]opportunities for learning through simulation. At the beginning of the year the Head of School group was increased to three with the appointments of Rose McEldowney and Beverley Chappell as Associate Heads of School. 14 |
| Since 1973 the school has offered a three year nursing programme leading to the Wellington Polytechnic Diploma in Nursing and registration as a comprehensive nurse. In 1989 the intake into this programme increased from 96 to 144. This necessitated a major reorganisation of the programme and the introduction of a new curriculum. An innovation this year was the commencement of a shortened two year nursing programme for graduates of another three year programme such as a university degree. The programme was submitted to the Nursing Council and fifteen students will be presenting for registration in November 1990. Unfortunately, the number of applicants for the Advanced Diploma in Nursing and the Midwifery programme for registered nurses have fallen, largely due to the reduction in employer sponsorship. Attendance at[...]es was also less than in previous years. However, the teaching team, well supported by the office and technical staff, have responded to this situation by working very hard to broaden the range of health-related courses offered to nurses and the general community. In recognition of the Treaty of Waitangi, and the principle of biculturalism, the school has actively sought a new partnership with the School of Maori Studies. Two tutors of Maori are now involved full-time in teaching nursing students. The staff within the School of Nursing and Health Education have acknowledged that the major changes taking place in the health care system are having an impact on nursing and midwifery education at all levels, and recognise the need to constantly seek innovative solutions to the many new challenges which they are confronting every day. SCHOOL OF PHYSICS, ELECTRONICS, TELECOMMUNICATIONS & ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING The School of Physics, Electronics, Telecommunications and Elec[...]ician and technician-engineer level. In addition, the school has for many years offered a wide range of short courses and update seminars for both the industry and the general public. The focus of educational activity within the school during 1989 was the move towards two year full-time training for NZ C[...]trade course. Both these courses are an indicator of the rapid move towards full-time pre-employment training in New Zealand. The trade course was well supported by the local electrical contractors, with the result that the graduates of that course were snapped up as apprentices. In the NZ Certificate area, we started work towards introducing a "Co-operative Education" programme based on the very successful Canadian system. In this, 15 |
| students usually complete a one year full-time programme of study and then move out into a series of four month work periods (paid) alternating with four month study periods. Entry to the "Co-op" programme in Canada is competitive and st[...]d curriculum vitae. However, it does mean that by the end of their course, the student will have gained one year of work experience and improved their permanent employment prospects immeasurably. SCHOOL OF SCIENCE & DATA PROCESSING Science & Data Processing is a large school encompassing a wide range of professional and technician level programmes in the fields of mathematics, statistics, business computing, appl[...]h science and amenity horticulture. February saw the Amenity Horticulture department join the school, transferred from the School of Maori Studies. During the year, the administrative base moved from the Botanic Gardens site to the Mount Victoria campus and general consolidation of the courses on offer was achieved. A Horticulture Liaison Committee was established mid-year. In the Business Computing department the new Advanced Certificate in Business Computing wa[...]nging workload for staff involved. To accommodate the extra demands of this course, the Liaison Committee was restructured into subcommit[...]creditation Team visited, accrediting us to teach the Certificate in Business Computing for (the maximum possible) three years. We continued to upgrade our computing facilities, with refurbishment of one classroom and the installation of two further sets of networked PCs. With the sad decline in science job opportunities in our region, being able to offer the National Diploma in Environmental Health Science has helped give students some alternative. The first of three full-time years started in February with a modest number of students and has mun successfully despite occasional "teething problems", A start-up grant from the Health Workforce Development Fund of the Department of Health has been of immense assistance with development and publicity costs, and has enabled establishment of strong contact with other tertiary institutions (particularly the University of Western Sydney, Hawkesbury) with five of our staff visiting Australia and one Hawkesbury s[...]Roy joined us in July ona year's sabbatical from the University of Minnesota, Duluth (USA), to assist in programme development.

The audit was conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and practices.

| STATEMENT OF RESOURCES CAMPUS SITES Wellington Polytechnic operates out of four separate sites. The main campus occupies approximately 4.5 hectares a[...]hern boundary it adjoins Wellington High School. The other three sites are leased. At the Mt Victoria site the Conservatorium of Music is domiciled as also are Horticultural courses. Hanson Street is the home for the Design School Photography whereas Access courses are conducted at the Boys and Girls Institute in Tasman Street. SITE DEVELOPMENT NURSING & HEALTH EDUCATION BUILDING The Nursing & Health Education building was completed[...]ursing & Health Education courses were offered in the newly-completed building from March. The building is purpose-designed for the teaching of nursing and enabled the School of Nursing & Health Education to vacate some old houses and the temporary Nursing Village. The vacation of the temporary Nursing Village has enabled the Schools of Languages & Communication and Maori to be relocated on campus. LIBRARY EXTENSION AND ENTRANCE The library extension and circulation area contract w[...]in February 1989 it was not possible to move into the extension until August. Even at that stage the building was not actually completed and workmen w[...]fitting out and painting for several months after the library was in use. This extension has tripled the area of the library, has enabled further services to be offer[...]ed in more space for student study. An extension of this project enabled a glazed covered area to be created at the entrance to Block 5. This has become a focal area of the Polytechnic. 39 |
