History
You are joining an amazing heritage. Massey University is named after a New Zealand
Prime Minister, William Ferguson Massey (1865-1925). Our foundations were formed in 1928
in Palmerston North by Sir Geoffrey Peren and Professor William Riddet, two visionaries
who valued educating students to apply knowledge and help solve problems of their day.
Discoveries through research made over the years have helped shape New Zealand and
changed the way we do things.
At Massey we continue to educate students who can think for themselves, look at challenges
and see opportunities. Massey University has now expanded to four campuses – Auckland,
Manawatu, Wellington and Distance.
Albany, the home of Auckland campus, has been the fastest growing area of Auckland’s North
Shore. Strawberry gardens and dairy farms were redeveloped in the 1980s and 1990s into
lifestyle blocks or housing. Our Auckland campus opened in 1993 and the surrounding area has
also grown rapidly, expanding and supporting the University.
Te Öhanga Village opened in February 2015. Further developments are planned for the campus
which will see a new innovation complex which is due to start in 2020. As a student living on
our campus, you are helping to shape Massey's and New Zealand's future.

                      Living Together
        LEARNING TO LIVE TOGETHER WILL BE A BIG PART OF YOUR
        EXPERIENCE, SO HERE ARE SOME TIPS:

                                   Learn people’s names,
                                   it makes them feel special

                                   Respect people’s personal space, they will do the same for
                                   you.

                                   Clean up after yourself in common areas, a clean environment
                                   goes a long way.

                                   Be mindful when cooking and preparing food, we all have
                                   different tastes.

                                   Think of others before making a lot of noise, whilst you may
                                   have a day off, someone may have an assignment to complete.

    IF YOU HAVE ANY ISSUES OR CONCERNS PLEASE CONTACT YOUR RA
    OR THE THE RESIDENTIAL LIFE OFFICE IN STUDENT CENTRAL.

          Events and Activities
We provide lots of opportunities for all residents to get involved in a variety of events and
activities, both on and off campus throughout the year.

GETTING INVOLVED
We encourage you to get involved as much as possible. One of the best ways to make friends
whilst living in Massey Halls - Te Öhanga Village is to participate in the many events and
activities we arrange. Getting to know other residents is key to having a great experience living
on campus and in the coming years.
Our events range from large to small events, highly social to relaxed events, to ensure we meet
differing social needs.
Your attendance at these events is important to us as it plays a big part in developing our sense
of community.
All our events are advertised on our facebook group Te Öhanga Village 2021, on our TV screens,
event boards, newsletter and Hall Gatherings.
All our off campus trips require payment and booking in advance at Reception.
We are always looking for ideas when it comes to events and activities, so do let the Residential
Life Team know if there is anything in particular that you would like us to organise.

ACTIVITY FEE
All residents have paid an activity fee, which is used to subsidise events and activities, so
again, get involved.

           Our Responsibilities
THE PASTORAL CARE CODES OF PRACTICE
All tertiary accommodation providers in Aotearoa New Zealand are required to abide
by Codes of Practice for Domestic and International Students. These Codes are in place
to ensure that providers consider the various factors that are important to ensuring
student accommodation is safe, comfortable, and conducive to your studies and ongoing
development.
Key outcomes outlined within the Codes relate to the following areas:
•   Communications and marketing
•   Resident contracts, accounting, and administration
•   Orientation
•   The residential community
•   Student voice
•   Safety, security, and wellbeing
•   Operational planning
•   Buildings and facilities
•   Grievances and appeals
Massey Halls are committed to upholding the Codes and regularly measure our practices
against these. It is important to us to have your input also. For this reason, we ask you to
join our committees and provide feedback by way of surveys and other forums.
If there is any standard that you do not feel we are meeting, or you have a specific concern
that you feel needs addressing, we want to know about it. You can raise these things in
person by making an appointment to meet with one of our Residential Life staff at the
Residential Life office, or put it in writing to accommodation.auckland@massey.ac.nz . We
will do all we can to work with you to find a solution.

         within the resident database. These records remain available and accessible if required.

BREACHES OF THE CODE
If a resident has made a complaint and/or appeal and does not feel satisfied with the
outcome, this needs to be raised through the formal complaints process of Massey
University. This can be done by emailing the Executive Director, Student Experience at

If the resident is not satisfied with the outcome of Massey University’s complaints process,
they may then make a complaint to Universities New Zealand, as the authorised Code
