    COVID-19 Coronavirus Update - 16 March

    World Health Organisation have declared COVID-19 Coronavirus as a pandemic.

    I'm writing to let you know that it remains business as usual here at WITT. We are working closely with the ITP sector to integrate our plans, guided by Ministry of Health recommendations. We are planning our response should COVID-19 spread in New Zealand and cause disruption to our day-to-day business practices.  This has not happened yet, but we are preparing, just in case.

    Like all tertiary institutes across New Zealand, we're following advice from the Ministry of Health.  Their website is the best source of information about the prevention and management of COVID-19 for New Zealand.

    We want to work together to ensure our students and staff continue to be looked after in the event COVID-19 spreads in New Zealand.  Here are some things to think about, so you are able to continue providing services in a safe way:

      • Protect yourself and others

    Good hygiene can help stop or slow the spread of illnesses, like those caused by COVID-19. Be vigilant about personal hygiene, as this is the best way to protect yourself.

    If you need to contact a health professional please do this by phone first – don’t just drop into a health centre. We’re also reminding colleagues and students who are unwell to stay at home.

    Please continue to share the health advice on how to minimise the spread of COVID-19 and protect vulnerable people.

      • Make sure you're up-to-date with the latest government advice

    Information can be found on the government's COVID-19 website

      • Staff: make sure you have your department's business continuity plan in place.

    Check that your department's business continuity plan is up to date and caters for your students and the services you provide.

    Up-to-date information can be found at:

    Times like these can bring out the best and worst in people.  Stigmatising people, cultures and countries is not helpful, and I urge you to exercise compassion and solidarity.

    For future updates from WITT, refer to our website: https://www.witt.ac.nz/About-WITT/News-and-Events/

    If you have any questions or concerns, please contact your Manager or call Healthline free on 0800 611 116 for health advice and information.

    Regards,

    John Snook

    CHIEF EXECUTIVE

    Congratulations to all our students who graduated

    on the 28th February

    Well done on your achievement!

     


    Coronavirus Update 18.02.20

    Update 18 February 2020

    There continues to be no confirmed cases of COVID-19 (coronavirus) in New Zealand.

    There was an announcement on 15 February from the Minister of Health, extending the temporary travel restrictions on people travelling from, or transiting through, mainland China for a further 8 days. The position will be reassessed every 48 hours.

    Any foreign travellers who have been present in, or transited through, mainland China in the previous 14 days will be refused entry into New Zealand.

    New Zealand citizens, permanent residents and their immediate family returning to New Zealand will continue to be able to enter, but are being instructed to self-isolate for 14 days upon their return.

    Continue to get the latest updates on the Ministry of Health website.

    Getting to know “the best country”


    Yaswanth Katragadda will tell you size doesn’t matter. Yaswanth (Yash) enrolled to study at WITT’s NZIHT campus in Hamilton in February 2015. “My first impression looking at the size of the college building was a disappointment - but that impression didn’t last long,” he said.

    The campus comprises a building containing office facilities, two large training rooms, a relaxation area, kitchen and café-style eating area, and a computer equipped library. It is also in the city’s central business district and a short walk from a lake.

    He was soon sold on the quality of pastoral care as he completed his move from Andhra Pradesh, a province on India’s south east coast. Yash was soon sorted with a bank account, tax code and accommodation.

    “The best part of the college will always be the tutors who are industry experienced and/or highly qualified,” he said. “The course subjects and scope are designed to well suit the industry needs and expectations.”

    In India, Yash had worked as an engineer at a large thermal power plant construction site, managing roadworks, sea structures and canals.

    He arrived in New Zealand with a Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering and completed a Graduate Diploma in Engineering (Highways) through NZIHT in Hamilton.

    He said studying at NZIHT helped him secure his current position at Timaru District Council, “where I get to work with extremely talented people who are willing to pass on their wisdom”.

    Yash was invited to pass on his own knowledge last month when he addressed the New Zealand Transport Agency Conference in Blenheim.

    He discussed the potential value for roading of using graphene, discovered in 2004 and hailed for its extraordinary properties as having the potential to revolutionise the electronic, health and energy sectors.

    Yash suggested a hybrid using graphene and Open Graded Porous Asphalt (OGPA) could be the way of the future for New Zealand roads.

    About 6% of roads are covered with Open Graded Porous Asphalt, but despite the fact it scores highly for producing low road noise, reduced vehicle spray, increased wet skid resistance and less glare when wet, it is expensive and has a shorter life than standard asphalt.

    A graphene –asphalt hybrid option has already been pitched in Europe and Yash says OPGA roads would be more economical if they had graphene.

    Yash, who has a residents visa for New Zealand has familiarised himself with his new home. He is a keen traveller and has already climbed Mount Taranaki and completed the Tongariro Crossing and many tramps in the Abel Tasman and Fiordland National Parks and Mt Cook National Park.

    He has no doubt the country is the best he has ever seen.

    Yash has spent more than a year working as a Roading Engineer at Timaru for the district council and is responsible for making the concept and final designs for Land Transport capital works, minor improvements and safety considerations.

    Upskill now with New Zealand Institute of

    Highway Technology (NZIHT)

    NZIHT offers online and block courses throughout New Zealand, we set the standard for training in the civil engineering industry.
