The purpose of this mihi is to greet all visitors and graduands to this place, which acknowledges the role of Kāi Tahu as mana whenua in the Otago Polytechnic Graduation Ceremony.

The academic dress worn by all graduands participating in the ceremony was designed in 1994 by third-year students of the Otago Polytechnic Diploma in Fashion and Design – Richard Moore (winner of the 1998 Smokefree Awards), Rebecca Vorrath and Carmen Shrimpton. By taking a Scottish-style Bachelor’s gown as inspiration, the designers maintained the traditional Celtic link with Dunedin while adapting the unique colours and motif from the Otago Polytechnic shield. By combining these two influences, the students established an appropriately traditional but unique and very distinctive look.The academic dress for Master’s graduands comprises the blue gown together with a satin hood and blue trencher with gold tassel. Postgraduate and degree graduands wear the blue gown with a satin facing, satin-lined hood buttoned to the gown at the shoulders and a blue trencher. Honours graduands wear the blue gown together with a satin facing, a satin-lined hood with a blue strip around the edge and a trencher. The colour of the satin facing and hood lining denotes the qualification. Diploma graduands wear the blue gown together with a satin facing, and certificate graduands wear the blue gown on its own. The sleeves and back yoke of the gowns are edged with gold braid, as is the outside edge of the hood.
