Arcade In The Pā

Monday – Tuesday from 9.30am 

Welcome back to the Pā-Cade! The second most popular part of DisOrientaion 24 (we see you, Night Market!) is back. And if you can get in before some of the lecturers do, then you can play arcade games in the Pā all day.

Pyjamas In The Pā

Monday, 6pm in the Pā

Party in the Pā! What could go wrong? Featuring Hot Chocolates, Popcorn, Spot Prizes for Pyjamas, and the first ever game of THE FLOOR IS LAVA in the Pā! Yeah, you heard us right in the first two years of its life not a single group has marketed a floor is Lava game in there. 

There is so much more happening in Pyjamas at the Pā so look out for us on Instagram.

The Don Death Wings are back! And this time they are hot! Ten students, one death wish. Finish the plate first and win a tab at the Don!

WSU Night Market

Tuesday, 7pm in the Pā

Easily the crown jewel of last year’s DisOrientation Week. The WSU Night Market is just something a little different. Your chance to mix and mingle, get tattoos, buy from a number of stallholders and enjoy a delicious WSU pie or two. 

WSU Clubs' Day

Wednesday, 9.30am in the Pā

Clubs’ Day brings with it an unbridled joy that melts the cynicism from the rest of the week away. This is where it stops being about what food or drink brands we hand a student in an attempt to build loyalty through product placement, and instead becomes about the students themselves. Whether the Rōpū in question is Te Waiora performing on stage or the Tramping Club trying to get you in their van. Clubs’ Day reaffirms why we exist as a Students’ Union. It is to help students develop an experience that extends beyond the lecture theatre. 

Mario Grand Prix

Thursday, 9:30am at the Pā 

Are you Max Verstappen or Luigi? 

To find out sign up here and join us for Mario GP.

Treasure Hunt @ The Pā

Thursday from 1.05pm at the Pā 

Ok! Hear us out! Let’s assume we always wanted to do a Treasure Hunt in the Pā and this wasn’t a reaction to  one of our staff members spending their own money bulk buying figurines on Temu.  

It’s an easy game; look at our Instagram on Thursday morning to discover the figurines that you should be looking for. Like the post to “enter” and every figure you find will put you in the draw to win a prize. Find the special figurines we hastily made gold, and you get an instant prize (Well, not that instant you still have to take it to our MnMs)  

Fifa World Cup Tournament (32 Teams)

Friday, 9:30am at the Pā

It’s about time we found out who is the best FIFA player on Campus. The debate that has raged in your group chat for years gets settled at the Pā. 

Sign up here and if you are one of the first 32 then you get put into an elimination bracket with your game time.  

  • Each match will be scheduled with the final being a 30-minute game.  
  • Teams will be randomised for each fixture, but you will be able to select from one of the four randomised teams.  
  • Games are 3-minute halves (we may need to check that this is the lowest).

WSU Breakfast Of Champions

Every day from 9 am outside the Pā 

Disorientation is a marathon, not a sprint, so start every day with our hangover-curing Breakfast of Champions.*  

Located at the Pā for your convenience, if you can’t find us, then simply approach any longhaired ginger at a BBQ and demand they provide you with food. Breakfast is free, but probably not required if you just want to drink a blue Powerade and look tough. 

*Editor’s note: The breakfast does not require a hangover, and if we are entirely honest, it probably can’t cure one either. 

Monday – Pancakes, Tuesday – Bacon and eggs, Wednesday – Granola Station, Thursday – breakfast Muffins, Friday – French Toast

Pā Live Lounge

Monday – Friday, 12pm at the Pā

The Live Lounge is back, featuring four very talented musicians you should follow on Instagram… actually, just come see them live at the Pā. 

Monday – Lehali (@justmerosalie)

Tuesday – Tahla Ward (@tahlawardmusic)

Thursday – Tyrell Tamaki  (@music_by_tyrell) 

Friday – Daniel Lansdaal @dan_and_his_guitar

War On Sausages

Every day from 12pm outside the Pā 

If you haven’t read the description for Breakfast of Champions, CLICK HERE. 

Now imagine we wrote that but for lunch… but instead of drinking Powerade to cure a hangover, you are on your third energy drink because you are an absolute legend.  Free lunch daily. 

Monday – Butter Chicken and Rice, Tuesday – Beef Lasagna, Wednesday – Chickpea Curry and Rice, Thursday –  Egg Fried Rice , Friday – Chicken Noodle Soup

Wanna Bag?

Every day from 11 am outside the Pā 

DisOrientation 2025 is LITERALLY the only time we can tell you that if you wanna bag we can suss it.  

Wanna Bag is loosely based on some really old game show that your grandparents watched on TV (TVs are what old people watch Netflix on). The WSU will give three lucky winners a chance to pick a bag and play. For legal reasons, we can’t say it is basically “Deal or No Deal” with money, Pak’n’Save and fuel vouchers, but if we could, that is how we would describe it.

WSU Bus For a Buck + WSU Safety Zone

Wednesday – Saturday from 10pm $1 or a purchase at the bar 

There is an indescribable beauty to the fragility of the human condition that one experiences when holding a student’s head back while they vomit into a bucket in the back of a bus, with the other occupants singing ‘College Hall is on the Piss.’ So, really, we should be thanking you for the opportunity. You are the real heroes. 

And for those of you that really didn’t learn your lesson in A Trimester the WSU Safety Zone is back with food, and some water to help you pace yourself at the party.

Nexus And Union @ The Don Present PRE

Wednesday – Friday, 7pm at The Union @ The Don

There are two Universal truths in the world: 

  1. Only nerds get to a party early: and
  2. Queuing for a bus in the rain or cold sucks.

So come join the Nexus social media team in the Don with good music, working heaters and the Nexus Confession Cam.

Cowabunga Dude

Monday from 11am to 1pm in the Ātea  

We may only be 10 minutes from the beach, and we’ve probably only surfed once or twice in our life, but one thing we know for sure is we like seeing our mates eat shi*t on a surfboard. Even better when we’ve bought the surfboard to Ccampus. Thanks to RPM MFG CO we’ve got some sick prizes that you could take home if you out surf your mates. 

Notes: Clubhouse if raining or super windy. 

Quiz Night

Monday from 6pm to 8pm in Te Manawaroa (1.07) 

Think your team has the brains and banter to take out Quiz Night? Spaces are limited, so register quickly. There are more prizes up for grabs than ever before, and probably some bragging rights too. 

Mini Putt

Tuesday from 11am to 1pm in the Ātea 

Mini Putt: Like real golf, but not, and where the only thing lower than your score is your self-esteem. Perfect for dates, mates, and people who think they’re better at sports than they actually are. 

Notes: Clubhouse if raining or super windy.  

Big Mac Attack

Wednesday at 11am in the Ātea  

Think you can smash a stack of Bbig Mmacs faster than anyone else? Prove it and win prizes. Buckets on hand, chunny on you. 

Notes: Outside 1.07 if raining or super windy. 

Clubs Day

Thursday from 10am to 2pm in the Student Hub 

Whether it’s Running Club catching the sunrise, Lex Wāhine touring the Ddistrict cCourt, or the Ethnic People’s Association Association teaching us how to make a Ula Lole (lolly necklace), Clubs’ Day reaffirms why we exist as a Students’ Union. It is to help students develop an experience that extends beyond the lecture theatre. 

Notes: Photobooth and Candy Floss Provided  

Canine Friends

Friday from 11am to 1pm in the Ātea 

Come pat some dogs. That is all. 

Notes: Clubhouse if raining, super windy or especially cold. 

Disorientation Party

Friday from 9:30pm until late at Rusty’s Bar 

Kicking off Tri B with an iconic DisOriDisOrientation Party, sick music, good venue and free shuttles, we’ve got you covered.  Ppssst we might even shout you a drink.  

Notes:  Shuttles departing from Selwyn Street Studios from 9:30pm to 10:30pm and returning between 12am to 1am. Students to collect their free drink tickets from the WSU in 1.21. 

Breakfast of Champions

Monday to Thursday from 9am at 101Café 

DisOrientation is a marathon, not a sprint, so start every day with a Cinnamon Scroll – the true Breakfast of Champions. Scrolls are free, but probably not required if you just want to drink Musashi and look tough. 

Wanna Bag?

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday from 10am in the Student Hub 

DisOrientation is literally the only time we can tell you that if you want to bag it wanna bag we can suss it., we can suss it.  

Wanna Bag is loosely based on some really old game show that your grandparents watched on TV (TVs are what old people watch Netflix on). The WSU will give four lucky winners a chance to pick a bag and play. For legal reasons, we can’t say it is basically “Deal or No Deal”, but if we could, that is how we would describe it.   

War On Suasages

Monday – Wednesday from 12pm at the level 1 Kitchen

We’re benching the Sausage Union this week. By now you should know that we don’t check the nutritional value of the food we make, so obviously we’re giving you the yummiest (and free) lunch alternatives all week. 

Don’t freak though, our beloved snags will be back next week. 

Monday – Loaded Fries, Tuesday – Nachos, Wednesday – Mince and Cheese Pies
