2012 ANNUAL REVIEW NORTHTEC VALUES

In late 2011 we undertook a major consultative review of our organisational values. This culminated in workshops as part of our 2012 Staff Conference and the finalisation of the new NorthTec values. We are proud to present these values to you.

The stand-out thing about the course for Julie was the tutors. “They went above and beyond the call of duty. They would even take stuff home to figure out for you. The class became one big crazy family. We were a random mix of age and backgrounds and were all on a GRADUATE journey together.” “I wanted to create my own label. Now I have a retail shop with my own designs on the rack, and there’s no way I could have done it without this course.”

Trevor Clark, Certificate in Forestry

“There’s so much to learn. We watch how logging crews operate, how to fell trees, how to watch for hazards, and how to work in the bush as a team.” Trevor is keen to extend his horizons. “After this course I want to get my feller’s ticket which is recognized throughout the STUDENT commonwealth countries. To others out there – a job in forestry is a job for the future.”

Ariana Te Aho, Certificate in Hairdressing

“I’m going for it. There’s a great team of students here, a great learning environment, and super-positive tutors. The tutors are calm and don’t stress out, and they’re especially supportive if students have young kids they need to work around.”

STUDENT Ariana is clear that hairdressing is the solid ticket she wants. 2012 ANNUAL REVIEW SUMMARY OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Vern Dark Council Chairperson

NorthTec had another solid year in 2012 meeting both financial and educational performance expectations with a $1.3 million surplus and matching or improving on last year's overall academic results.

This was achieved with some considerable effort by management and staff. To meet the financial targets it was necessary to exercise strict control of expenditure in the services area to compensate for less than expected returns from a changed product mix of courses.

NorthTec's goal in terms of educational better value for its investment in the to this challenge and successfully performance is to be in the top quartile tertiary sector. NorthTec had recognised tendered for the majority of courses of the sector. This goal has been the need to change over time some it submitted bids for.

Paul Binney Chief Executive

I am pleased to report on another successful year for NorthTec. In my 2011 report I explained how the organisation had risen to the challenge of being financially responsible whilst at the same time ensuring that the quality of our educational delivery continued to improve.

In 2012 I believe we made further improvements and my sense is that we’re at a point where, with some concerted effort, we can become the truly inspirational organisation that our region needs. There are many reasons why I have this belief, with the following being a few of these:

• NorthTec was only one of 6 ITPs that good enough in 2011 to ensure that there would otherwise have been lost to the was successful in the Level 1 and 2 was no performance-linked funding education system.

Ken Rivers was CEO of Refining New Zealand up until December 2011 after his arrival from the United Kingdom in 2007.

He brought with him his vast knowledge of the oil industry which was enhanced by his time working in faraway fields such as Malaysia and in the Netherlands.

One of his key goals while in Northland was to upgrade the refinery to produce cleaner fuels for future generations and at the same time committing to protecting the Refinery’s unique environment at the mouth of the beautiful Whangarei Harbour.

He also brought a more holistic business and community philosophy with him to Whangarei and in his time here immersed himself within the local community, contributing his abilities and expertise where required and sought. During his time in Northland he participated fully within the community, serving on the NorthTec Council and as a trustee of the Northland Events Centre. Ken was also a founding member of the New Zealand Business Leaders Health & Safety Forum.

BRENTON LOW 2013 Council Award - Institutional Medal

A fourth-time Beef + Lamb New Zealand Ambassador, Brenton has spent more than a decade contributing stunning cuisine to the at his Whangarei restaurant.

Born and bred in Northland, Master Chef Brenton Low has racked up so many awards that his Whangarei restaurant à Deco, is running out of wall space to display his mass collection of trophies and testimonials.

Brenton focuses on serving fresh local produce at à Deco, resulting in the restaurant being a regular finalist in the Cuisine Restaurant of the Year awards. In 2011, à Deco was named Best Regional Restaurant in the awards for the second year in a row.

Brenton cut his teeth initially learning from some of Auckland’s finest and toughest chefs before he spread his wings and expanded his culinary skills in Europe and Australia. When he returned home to Northland he brought back his magical array of cooking skills and with it, has now put Northland firmly on the culinary world map.

Founder and Principal Scientist of the Orca Research Trust at Tutukaka, Dr Ingrid Visser has dedicated her life to the study and protection of Orca, the largest species of oceanic dolphin, and is committed to educating others about her adopted aquatic family.

Born in Lower Hutt Wellington to Dutch immigrant parents, her love for the oceans and Orca stems from the round-the-world family sailing trip in 1986 on a 17-metre yacht which covered over 93,000km and visited over 40 countries.

The holder of three degrees in science Ingrid has a self-confessed obsession with Orca which she began to study in 1992 going on to complete her PhD on the first ever study of the mammals in New Zealand waters in 2000. Her work saw Orca reclassified from “common” to “critically endangered” in 2002.

For her life’s work, Ingrid has received on-going recognition with her NorthTec Council Award, a further acknowledgement of her valued environmental contributions to marine life in New Zealand waters.

CHRIS BOOTH 2012 Council Award - Honorary Fellow

The local appeal of genius and international sculptor Chris Booth is that he is a native son of Northland, having been born in Kerikeri.

Chris has dedicated himself to a career in sculpture, much of it associated with the land, earth forms, and indigenous peoples of the regions he has worked in.

While his sculpture sometimes draws on indigenous Mäori and Aborigine characteristics, his works remain individual, and capture aspects of topography, natural history, and landscape forms where he constructs them.

Major commissions have been at the Hamilton Gardens, done in collaboration with Diggeress te Kanawa (2004-2005); “The Wave and Waka” Whangarei Millennium Sculpture, in collaboration with Te Warihi Hetaraka (2003-2006); Lincoln University (1997); Matauri Bay Rainbow Warrior Memorial (1990) and the renowned Auckland ‘Gateway’ in Albert Park in the same year. For 40 years now, Chris has been involved with land art projects in New Zealand and all over the world. TECTEC BENCHMARKING BENCHMARKING 2012 ANNUAL REVIEW

Haylie Morton, Business Administration and Computing

Haylie came to NorthTec to change her life and get a qualification. “I knew there had to be something more for me. This course was the starting point. I did well at school but you can’t get a job by STUDENT saying you know how to do stuff. You need a qualification.” “If this can happen for me, it can happen for anyone! If you’re feeling down about what you’re doing and want to reach for the stars and make something for yourself, get a qualification!”

Henry Lightfoot, Automotive Engineering

“The tutors are pretty awesome considering what they have to put up with. They’re all experienced and all interesting. If you’re considering doing this course don’t do it just to fill in time.

Make up your mind whether you want to do it, and go for it. It’s an opportunity too good to waste. The amount of support makes STUDENT it hard to fail.”

Tessa Peters, Social Services

“We have a big class of amazing people from all different backgrounds and world views. We’re all there for the same reason and we have a strong bond. The tutors are very real people who have lived life and they make it easy to learn because of the way they are.”

STUDENT “This is a really really good beginning to the rest of my life! If I get the chance to help even one person through something sometime, that is all I want. With this course, I will have the skills and the knowledge to help them properly.”
