Kia ora online students. My name is Poonam and I'm your online campus manager.

I wanted to take a moment to welcome each and every one of you to the online campus.

Studying online comes with its unique sets of opportunities.

And my team and I here to ensure that you have a rewarding and enriching academic journey with us.

So whether you're joining us from across the city, country or the globe, know that you are part of our diverse environment community of learners.

So embrace the flexibility, get online and connect with your fellow students and make the most of the resources that we've got available for you,

As your campus manager, my team and I are here to ensure that you get all the support you need.

So without further ado, let me hand over to my team-mates.

Kia ora koutou. Hey, there future tech enthusiast. I'm Dweep, TL for technology programmes 

and I'm thrilled to welcome you from the technology faculty at Yoobee Online for the upcoming intake.

I've been in education for a good, solid 15 years, starting as a tutor for management programs,

and since then I've worn several hats from guiding students in the classroom to actually managing the entire campuses as well.

But life is all about adventures and that.

So I took a little detour and I dug into the world of retail and hospitality, starting my own business and learning the ropes outside the classroom.

Now that I couldn't stay away from education,

I'm back in education work and I'm leading the charge of the technology faculty in my current role as a team leader.

And the role is all about ensuring the smooth delivery of our courses.

I make sure our tutors have access to all the resources they need and work closely with

other functions of Yoobee to maintain the highest level of quality that is expected of us.

But we are not just here to teach, we are also here to inspire, in a way, and most importantly have a blast while doing it.

When I'm not immersed in the world of education and tech, you can catch me gaming,

strategizing on the chessboard, and diving into a good book — most likely non-fiction, or churning up the trails on my mountain bike.

Because life is not about studying and learning, it's also about enjoying every little thing that you do.

So buckle up future Tech Maestros. We are about to embark on a journey to discovery, growth, and a whole lot of fun here at Yoobee Online.

Get ready, challenge yourself, push your boundaries and become the best version of yourself.

Now, without further ado, I want to introduce you to the rest of the incredible team.

Starting with Amanda, who is the team leader for creative programmes.

Kia ora koutou. I'm Amanda.

I'm the team leader looking after the Certificate in Creative Media, the Diploma in Creative Marketing, and the Diploma in Web and Graphic design,

which is great because I'm a creative person with a tech background and I've been with Yoobee for the last four years.

As a Yoobee online student, you get to collaborate with your classmates.

It's through fun activities group and forum discussions and make meaningful connections with like minded people.

At the end of each year,

we hosted a virtual exhibition that showcases all our students amazing work and it's an excellent opportunity to get your work seen.

I'm thrilled to have you all here, whether you're just starting your journey or you're here to hone your skills,

welcome to the Yoobee family. I will now pass it over to Anjie. 

Thank you, Amanda. Kia ora. Bonjour. Bulla. 

My name is Angie and I'm the team lead for the New Zealand School of Tourism,

Travel and Tourism Management Level five and Yoobee Animation Level five programmes.

I've been with NZST since 2007 in various roles — from a diploma tutor, a team lead, and a campus manager.

I moved into the online learning space in 2020, first with blended learning and now focusing on

the facilitated asynchronous learning environments with the Amazing Yoobee online team.

I have over ten years travel and tourism experience, including working for a domestic airline, being a travel consultant with both

House of Travel and Flight Centre and also as a wholesaler for a cruise company.

All pretty exciting. My true passion, as you can guess, is travelling and creating new memories with friends and family.

It is our pleasure to welcome you to this exciting and dynamic online space that will

equip you with the skills and knowledge needed to succeed in your chosen industry.

We hope your programme will ignite your passion and give you the confidence you need to pursue your dreams.

We'll challenge you, inspire you, and push you to reach your full potential and we'll be there every step of the way,

supporting you and guiding you along this journey. Like anything new, you may feel overwhelmed, lost,

want to clarify something or just want to talk, you can reach out to any of the online team when you need. But that's not all.

As you move through your studies, you may wonder how to vary your learning strategies,

conduct how to manage your time, or feel confused with the asynchronous environment.

Well, the lovely Leigh — our Online Learning Support — is here to give you some guidance. Over to you, Leigh.

Kia ora koutou. Ko Leigh tōku ingoa.

So my name is Leigh, and I'm Online Learning Support and my role is to support online learning happen. Support comes in many forms.

It means that I support the tutors, or I support the students.

I could be connecting you to the free and confidential counselling service.

I could be working through your pastoral care issues. Or, I could be working with you to find out your learning strategies.

Now, learning is very individual for every student.

So if you have declared that you have a learning barrier or a learning disability, I really want to thank you very much.

If you have a learning barrier or a learning disability and haven't told your tutor, please consider talking to them.

Now, finally, I do want to welcome you on board the Online Campus.

I really wish you all the best. Your success is our success.

So learn lots and have fun.
