On Thursday 21 February and Friday 22 February 2008, Year Two Bachelor of Sport Coaching students will attend an overnight stay at a Marae.
The marae visit is a programme requirement. The visit serves as an introduction to the programme for the incoming Year 1 students with you as the tangata whenua. In this role you are required to completely organise the Pōwhiri to welcome the Year 1 group. Planning for this will have begun at the end of 2007. If you require more information please contact Hugh Galvan, hugh.galvan@canterbury.ac.nz
If you have any reason to believe that you may not be able to attend the marae then you must apply for leave as you would for any other absence.
