Connect 2018 is an opportunity to welcome new university students into the Riccarton neighbourhood, meet residents and build fresh friendships.

Returning for the third year, Connect 2018 will have entertainment, performances, fun activities and resource information sharing, with free food and loads of prizes to be won. Connecting students with their community provides positive participation and enables a strong foundation for engagement and partnership now and in the future.

This year Connect will be partnering with the event Our Amazing Place, and will be held rain or shine at Harrington Park, Peverel Street, from 3pm to 6pm, on 3 March.
