    • Public Viewing
      • The Public are most welcome to come and view the great work submitted by the Students, on Friday 28th (9:00am to 4:30pm), or Saturday 29th (9:00 am to 1:00 pm). I'm sure that they are proud of what they have acheived. The facility closes, for the removal of exhibits at 1:00 pm, and all exhibits should be collected by the Students by 3:30pm.

    • Parking at the University
      • Parking Please advise teachers and parents that cars parked in the University car parks will be towed away at the owner’s expense so should not be left unattended more than a few minutes. Parking at the University in monitored by Wilson Parking. Parking fines here are $65. There are 4 Science Fair 5 minute only allocated car parks behind the Alan MacDiarmid Building (marked). We agree that parking is an issue, but this year (due to major construction activities) we have no alternatives. read more

    • Teacher UserID Registrations
      • Unfortunately due to the high number of machine and errant account Requests, I have suspended the requests for access feature (about 70 errand messages per day). Administration was a nightmare. This site is targeted at Students and Teachers in Wellington, New Zealand only. Other Science & Technology students should contact their local Science Fair Committee for advice. We all run our Science & Technology fairs slightly differently. Please can we have only Teachers from the Wellington Region registering for access. read more

    • Exhibit's not collected
      • Please note, that we have a few exhibit's left at the University (in the Laby Building outside LB201). Informally, they may be available (prior to being destroyed (I'm sorry but we don't have storage facilities)) on a desk in the corridor on Level 2 of the Laby Building. If there are any left at the end of the week. they will be destroyed. This is an informal arrangement and all exhibits should have been collected on Saturday. The Organizing Committee
