Kia ora koutou

It gives me great pleasure to introduce the 2008 Annual Report of Whitireia Community Polytechnic, te Kura Matatini o Whitireia.

In summary 2008 was an excellent year for us as this Annual Report attests. We continued to provide quality applied vocational education for over 9,000 students from our various communities.

In the first year of our Investment Plan we over achieved our government funded student places to 103% which contributed to a deficit of $499k for the year on revenues from all sources of $46m.

That our community needs more tertiary education than we are funded by government to provide is an inescapable conclusion and we have worked assiduously with the Tertiary Education Commission (TEC) during 2008 to try to address this issue.

As I noted in last year’s Annual Report whilst “Whitireia Council is supportive of the intent of the tertiary reforms, there does need to be more discussion on how the funding shortfalls predicted in 2009 and 2010 will be managed.”

Several projects from the campus redevelopment programme came to fruition in 2008. The opening of the Health Education and Social Sciences Building by the Prime Minister, Helen Clark, in July, was a major milestone. Named Wikitoria Katene after a prominent Nga-ti Toa kuia and nurse. The new building provides a permanent home for our very highly regarded nursing programmes which have been a significant focus since the institution’s inception. After 22 years in a variety of prefabs this was a major step forward.

We moved our Wellington city campus to Cuba St in the heart of the student precinct and this was opened by the US Ambassador William McCormick in

July. In August our upgraded Industry Training campus in Mohuia Crescent near our main campus was opened by the Minister of Tertiary Education Pete Hodgson. A refurbished Arts and Communication Faculty administration building was opened in April by the Philippines Ambassador Bienvenido Te Jano. A new all weather Atrium in the heart of our Porirua campus was opened by the Minister of Arts, Culture and Heritage Chris Finlayson in December.

Significantly all these projects were funded from the institution’s reserves, without borrowing, and represent an essential reinvestment in our education infrastructure. We do seek to provide our students with first rate facilities which are industry appropriate and provide for contemporary learning environments. As a word of caution however, such reinvestment will no longer be possible without support by way of a capital injection from government sources and applications have been made for this purpose without success to date.

On the collaboration front, through the Wellington Regional Polytechnic Federation (WRPF) we continued to work closely with the Chairs and CEOs of The Wellington Institute of Technology (WelTec) and The Open Polytechnic of New Zealand (TOPNZ), developing collaborative opportunities for the Wellington region. In 2008 good progress was made through Federation projects.

There were many highlights in 2008 as noted in this document. The graduation of our students is always a highlight of the year for me and this year for the first time we held large combined graduations on campus under the new Atrium. These are special events that mark the continued success of our students, tutors and support staff.

While 2008 has been an excellent year, financial results notwithstanding, Whitireia has many challenges over the next few years delivering its distinctive contribution within the overall network of provision. We have excellent staff and a very supportive community and the completion and success rates of our students demonstrate we represent excellent value for money in the total tertiary network. We are well placed to continue to deliver quality vocational courses and educational outcomes that will make a difference to students’ employment opportunities and their lives.

Whitireia Council membership has remained stable over the last few years. Anthea Read, the Student Representative, joined Council and Caren Rangi retired from Council as a Ministerial Representative in 2008. I would like to thank Caren Rangi for her significant contribution to Council over the years. Council continues to debate the issues that affect our institution with passion, vigour and with a sound commitment to community needs. Thank you to all Councillors for contributing your knowledge and time to Whitireia. I particularly thank Suzanne Snively for her support as Deputy Chair.

On behalf of Council I would like to thank Don Campbell for his leadership in 2008. I would also like to thank the management team and the staff for their continued support and dedication.

Congratulations to all students who successfully completed their courses in 2008. Pursue your knowledge and careers. Remember that lifelong learning is a must and Whitireia will always be here to assist you.

In summary 2008 was an excellent year for us as this Annual Report attests. We continued to provide quality applied vocational education for over 10,000 students from our various communities.


Te-na- koutou katoa

Introduction

I’m delighted to comment on the performance of Whitireia Community Polytechnic for 2008. It was a year of many fine achievements as we continued to “lead and illuminate our communities” in Porirua, Kapiti, Wellington and Auckland.

Quality vocational tertiary education was provided to over 9,000 students. We pride ourselves on “putting students first”, giving every student the opportunity to succeed. This is reflected in our completion and success rates. Some 90% of students who enrol complete their courses and some 73% of students successfully passed. We thus provide an excellent value for money investment for both our students and for government and the taxpayer.

In the first year of the new planned environment where government funding and student places were capped, we overachieved student places by 103% representing an “educational surplus”. This unfortunately was at the expense of a financial deficit which was very disappointing.

Several building projects were completed including the new $5 million Health Studies building, the upgrade of the Trades Training facilities at Mohuia Crescent, the relocation of the Wellington City campus to Cuba St, the construction of an atrium to provide a large covered area, and the refurbishment of the Arts and communication Administration area.

The establishment of the Education Forum, a formative group of local educators from across education sectors, was an important leadership initiative by the polytechnic. Russell Marshall, well known former Minister of Education and local resident, was invited to Chair the Forum and

provided excellent leadership and networking amongst schools.

In light of the new and changing tertiary landscape, our progress as an institution, our strategic plan and vision were evaluated and updated. This resulted in the new vision “to lead and illuminate our communities through tertiary education” and consequential changes in goals and objectives. Our name Whitireia means “ray of light” and te Kura Matatini o Whitireia means the school of many faces of Whitireia which very aptly describes our student population.

Educational highlights

For any educational institution student achievements and performance are always the highlights of any year and 2008 has provided many of these, some of which are as follows. The high standard of teaching and quality was verified by external audit, a rigorous process managed by the Institutes of Technology and Polytechnics Quality (ITPQ) organisation.

We held our first large graduations on site for the first time under the Atrium and one of these featured the new Minister of Education, Hon Anne Tolley, as guest speaker. Some 2632 students gained qualifications or part qualifications during the year. Completion and success rates were high as already noted.

A memorandum was signed with Ministry of Education representatives of the Jambi province of Indonesia and a group of 23 teaching staff came to Whitireia for a four month programme.

Eleven medals were picked up by students at the Wellington culinary Fare competition. Two whakairo students attended a programme at the Oregon College of Art and Craft in the USA. A student, Cleo Thorpe Ngata, and tutor, Deb Donnelly represented New Zealand at the 2008 Shibori Symposium

for top international textile designers in Paris, Lyon and Nimes in France.

Philippines Ambassador Bienvenido Te Jano acknowledged the important link developed around the Red Hot NZ week and noted “the profound effect of the Whitireia fashion, artworks, and jewellery on the Philippines creative community”.

Our Performing arts student troupe attended three international Arts festivals in Italy and France. Second year music students performed their original score at the Film Archive to a 70 minute collection of silent NZ 1920’s films.

Graduate Igelese Ete was awarded a Creative NZ Senior Pacific Artists award. Joseph Ryan was awarded a BNZ Katherine Mansfield Novice Writer award for his story, Stranger than Beautiful.

Journalism students and staff established the highly successful “Newswire” website and covered the 2008 election in depth.

Performance in 2008

In 2008, 4176 EFTS were achieved, on a par with 2007 despite a reduction from 2007 in Government funded EFTS to 2825. Growth was largely unfunded and reflected the regional training needs identified in “The Future Demand for Tertiary Education Services in the Wellington Region 2008-2010” as well as tertiary education needs in the Pacific.

Revenue of $46 million was around 5.6% greater than in 2007. Tight control of expenditure resulted in the cost per EFTS increasing at only 5%. A very disappointing by-product of the capped funding environment was the financial deficit of $498,574 despite the “educational surplus” generated. That our community requires more tertiary education than we can provide is reflected in our exceeding the TEC funded cap. The financial deficit is and will continue to be the subject of ongoing work to address the consequences during 2009.

Whitireia is recognised as a leading provider of tertiary education for culturally diverse communities, the school of many faces, and this is reflected in growth of domestic students who are Ma-ori. Our numbers of Pacific students also increased. Numbers of students at Level 4 and above on the Framework increased as did the number of students under the age of 25. These three indicators are all priorities for the tertiary sector.

A survey of employers indicated a high level of satisfaction with Whitireia graduates on a variety of measures. Student satisfaction with programmes was also high.

Our completion and success rates of 90% and 73% are an outstandingly successful feature and demonstrate excellent value for both the students’ and TEC’s investment. They are also a clear demonstration of the value for money proposition Whitireia provides and are a good measure of the productivity of the institution.

Whitireia also made a major contribution to international education and in the Pacific. Over 700 fee paying international students mainly at our Auckland campus but also in Porirua and Wellington contributed to the internationalising agenda as well as supporting the institution financially. Student numbers in Tonga continue to grow as does the relationship with our Tongan community both here and in Tonga.

Our success is of course a reflection of staff performance. In acknowledging this I pay tribute to all staff for their superb efforts in 2008. We do have staff who “lead and illuminate their communities”, whose leadership in their respective fields is widely acknowledged, and who are incredibly important in our success. They rise to the many challenges, they support our students, and they make Whitireia a true learning community.

Tertiary reforms

2008 was the first year of the new planned tertiary environment as expressed for each institution in its Investment Plan negotiated with TEC during 2007. Whitireia negotiated a three year plan for 2008-2010 but at student numbers below those achieved in 2007.

The capped environment has effectively been in place since 2006 when Adult and Community Education (ACE) funding was severely reduced for Whitireia contributing to a first ever financial deficit for that year.

The intent of Investment Plans is to provide fiscal certainty and capping of funding and to create a network of provision from the combined plans of all tertiary providers. The ultimate aim is to link and assist with the economic transformation of New Zealand.

It is clear from the results for Whitireia for 2008 that we have played our part in the vision of a better performing and better aligned tertiary sector as the results in this Annual Report attest.

We were asked to increase the proportion of students under the age of 25 and we have. We were asked to increase the proportion of students at Level 4 and above and we have. We were asked to increase the numbers of Ma-ori and Pacific students and we have. We were asked to examine our region for skills needs through regional facilitation and we did.

We have also continued to be well connected to our community which is diverse and multi-ethnic but for whom current funding models are not well suited.

In 2008 we provided considerable information to TEC about our funding inequity which is largely based on historical student funding cost categories. We look forward to the new funding system for implementation in 2011 and


The Industry Training Centre, our Trades Campus, in nearby Mohuia Crescent has also been upgraded at a cost of $750,000 and allows all Trades programmes to be offered from one site. Opened by the Minister of Tertiary Education Pete Hodgson in July this campus has seen significant growth in pre-employment training in most trades areas.

A new atrium was completed in October and provides a large covered area for student gatherings and celebrations. A steel frame covered in texlon, an inflated translucent pillow, is the first use of this product in New Zealand. The Atrium was opened by the new Minster of Arts Culture and Heritage and Attorney General, Hon Chris Finlayson, in December and was also the venue for our first large combined graduations in the same week.

Our Wellington Campus was relocated from Lambton Quay to Cuba St and was opened on 1 July by the US Ambassador Mr William McCormick. It is now located in the heart of the student precinct in the world’s “seventh funkiest street”.

So it was an outstanding year in terms of providing new and improved facilities for our students, a commitment to improving facilities for students is evident. This is despite the lack of any outside funding being provided centrally for this purpose – a source of great frustration and dismay.

Looking aheadWhitireia faces a number of challenges in 2009. The first is to deliver planned student numbers and the budgeted surplus. The second is to ensure that a capital redevelopment programme is maintained. New buildings are still needed to replace the large number of prefabricated buildings which are expensive to maintain and not fit for purpose. How the campus master plan might be funded over the next five to

ten years will be a significant challenge for the institution.

The third is to continue to reconfigure the organisation to ensure capability and readiness for the new environment. A key component of this will be to prepare for significant funding shortfalls predicted for 2009 and 2010.

Further developments will include building better educational links and relationships, further collaborative arrangements, shaping and sharpening our strategic focus and all the while continuing to engage with our communities.

Conclusion

My special thanks to Executive Team and our two new Deputy Chief Executives Arthur Graves (Operations) and Susan Cauchi (Academic) appointed during the year who, with the CEO, have rapidly forged a strong and strategically focussed unit leading the organisation.

I also proffer my thanks to management staff and all staff who have responded well to the changing external environment and helped prepare the organisation for the changes which lie ahead. We are in good shape but we do have a lot of work to do both in helping create a networked tertiary sector and in transforming our organisation for the new environment.

Finally I wish to thank Council for their strong and wise leadership and excellent understanding of their community, the tertiary environment and the place Whitireia has in the network of provision. My special thanks to Chairman Dennis Sharman for his unfailing support, guidance and leadership during 2008.

for recognition that the nature and needs of our community should be taken into account.

Research

The nursing centre of learning published issue fifteen of the Whitireia Nursing Journal which was edited by Dr Jill Wilkinson, from the School of Health and Social Services at Massey University, Wellington. Jill notes in her editorial that Whitireia “taught me not only how to teach, but more importantly, how to learn”.

Other research outputs included theses, journal articles and book chapters, highlighting the continued development of academic achievement.

Building projects Several building projects were completed during 2008 with a series of high profile openings which highlighted the progress of Whitireia in replacing ageing prefabricated building stock with purpose built contemporary facilities. Although good progress has been made from our own resources there remains a lot to do before our campuses are genuinely of the standard our academic performance and results and community deserve.

The Health Education and Social Sciences faculty building named “Wikitoria Katene” was opened by the Prime Minister Right Hon Helen Clark in June. This was a moving occasion as the story of Wikitoria Katene, a prominent Nga-ti Toa kuia and nurse was told.

Completed at a cost of $5 million, the building includes three 40 seat classrooms and office space for 40 staff and also incorporates a refurbished 90 seat lecture theatre. The building features prominently at the main entrance to the campus which has also been upgraded and landscaped and now announces a tertiary institution of substance and standing.

number of students who enrolled in that course

(“Success” is as defined in the programme approved by the Academic Board and as indicated in information provided for students.)

Student Satisfaction Rating

Satisfaction rating % = number of responses of satisfactory or better x 100

total number of responses

Time lines measure percentage of programmes completed by dates specified to students in pre-programme information.

Equal Educational Opportunities

EEdO Committee meetings were held on 20 March, 19 June and 13 November and minutes kept.

A workshop was held for the committee on 11 September on Embedding Literacy and Numeracy.

Identify and implement strategies to promote equal educational opportunities for all students.

›› Over the last two years, there has been some development of initiatives for foundation education in the Te Kakano project. In 2008, staff training has gained more emphasis. Eight training workshops were offered and 25 staff involved in training. With the development of specific targeted funding for Language, Literacy and Numeracy, this area is now driven by external targets within the sector and a special project has been set up for 2009.

Consider the polytechnic’s performance measures relating to student access and success.

›› Reports on completion and success were presented and discussion of initiatives for targeted groups took place. Ma-ori, Pacific and Tertiary Students with Disabilities were reported on through the SSG reports for 2007 and goals were set for 2008. Reports on the progress of Foundation Learning initiatives were presented and the impact of these intiatives on student success and staff training discussed.

Prepare, monitor and report on an annual education opportunities plan.

›› The goals above were monitored as standing agenda items for the committee. Members were also involved in a parallel Stakeholder Group for Literacy, Language and Numeracy. This group met four times and developed a plan for institutional embedding of literacy. Because LLN has become the major project ensuring Equity of access, the EEdO committee’s functions have been subsumed into the revised briefs of the Academic Standards and Academic Evaluation Committees and the EEdO committee will not continue in 2009.

Equal Employment Opportunities

2008 activity regarding employment equity was preparation for the Pay and Employment Equity Project (PaEE). This initiative originated in the core Public Service and is also being implemented in the Tertiary Sector. The Project is designed to give insight into equity issues relating to gender, age and ethnicity, as well as assessing potentially discriminatory behaviours in organisations. The project takes some time to prepare for and complete. The results will be completed in late 2009.

The statement of comprehensive income will enable readers to analyse changes in equity resulting from non-owner changes separately from transactions with the Crown in its capacity as “owner”. The revised standard gives the Group the option of presenting items of income and expense and components of other comprehensive income either in a single statement of comprehensive income with subtotals, or in two separate statements (a separate statement of financial performance followed by a statement of comprehensive income). The Group intends to adopt this standard for the year ending 31 December 2009, and is as yet to decide whether it will prepare a single statement of comprehensive income or a separate statement of financial performance followed by a statement of comprehensive income.


Basis of consolidation(d)

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Whitireia and Whitireia Foundation as at 31 December each year (‘the Group’).

The financial statements of subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies.

Adjustments are made to bring into line any dissimilar accounting policies that may exist.

All inter-entity balances and transactions, including unrealised profits arising from intra-group transactions, have been eliminated in full. Unrealised losses are eliminated unless cost cannot be recovered.

Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group and cease to be consolidated from the date on which control is transferred out of the Group.

Where there is loss of control of a subsidiary, the consolidated financial statements include the results for the part of the reporting year during which Whitireia has control.

Foreign currency translation(e)

Both the functional and presentation currency of Whitireia and Whitireia Foundation are New Zealand dollars ($).

Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency at the exchange rates ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date.

Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate as at the date of the initial transaction.

Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined.

Property, plant and equipment(f)

Property, plant and equipment asset classes consist of land, buildings, plant and machinery, motor vehicles, computer hardware, furniture and fittings, library collection, office equipment, teaching equipment, leasehold improvements, communication systems, and signage.

Property plant and equipment are shown at cost or valuation, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Revaluations

Following initial recognition at cost, land and buildings are carried at a revalued amount which is the fair amount which is the fair value at the date of the revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation on buildings and accumulated impairment loss.

Fair value is determined by reference to market-based evidence, which is the amount for which the assets could be exchanged between a knowledgeable willing seller in an arm’s length transaction as at the valuation date.

Revaluation of property, plant and equipment is carried out on a class of asset basis.

Any net revaluation surplus is credited to the asset revaluation reserve included in the equity section of the balance sheet unless it reverses a net revaluation decrease of the same asset previously recognised in the income statement.

Any net revaluation decrease is recognised in the income statement unless it directly offsets a previous net revaluation increase in the same asset revaluation reserve.

Any accumulated depreciation as at revaluation date is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset and the net amount is restated to the revalued amount of the asset.

Upon disposal, any revaluation reserve relating to the particular asset being sold is transferred to retained earnings.

Independent valuations are performed with sufficient regularity to ensure that the carrying amount does not differ materially from the asset’s fair value at the balance sheet date.

An item of property, plant and equipment is de-recognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset.

Any gain of loss arising on de-recognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item) is included in the income statement in the year the item is derecognised.

The measurement bases used for determining the gross carrying amount for each class of assets is as follows:

• Landandbuildingsaremeasuredatfairvaluelesssubsequentaccumulateddepreciationandsubsequentaccumulated impairment losses

• Plantandequipment,motorvehicles,andcomputerhardwareisstatedatcostlessaccumulateddepreciationand any accumulated impairment in value.

Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset as follows:

Class of assets Rate

Buildings 2% - 10% per annum

Plant and Machinery 10% - 12.5% per annum

Motor Vehicles 20% per annum

Computer Hardware 25% per annum

Furniture and Fittings 10% per annum

Library Collection 12.5% – 20% per annum

Office Equipment 20% per annum

Teaching Equipment 20% per annum

Leasehold Improvements 15% - 33.3% per annum

Communication Systems 20% per annum

Signage 25% per annum

Held for sale

Property, plant and equipment is re-classified as a non-current asset held for sale when its carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. The re-classification takes place when the asset is considered to be available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to the usual and customary terms for sale of such assets and the sale is considered highly probable.

Investment properties(g)

An investment property is initially measured at its cost including transaction cost.

Where an investment property is acquired at no cost or nominal cost, its cost is deemed to be its fair value as at the date of acquisition.

Subsequent to initial recognition investment properties are stated at fair value as at each balance sheet date.

Gains and losses arising from changes in the fair values of investment properties are recognised in the income statement in the year in which they arise.


Investment properties are de-recognised when they have either been disposed of or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future benefit is expected from its disposal. Any gains or losses on de-recognition of an investment property are recognised in the income statement in the year of de-recognition.

Intangible assets(h)

Computer software

Computer software is separately acquired and capitalised at its cost as at the date of acquisition. After initial recognition, separately acquired intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation is calculated at 20% straight line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset.

Course development costs

Course Development costs relate to development of educational courses and are capitalised if purchased wholly from other institutes of learning. No courses have been purchased as such at balance date.

The amortisation period and amortisation method for each class of intangible asset having a finite life is reviewed at each financial year-end. If the expected useful life or expected pattern of consumption is different from the previous assessment, changes are made accordingly.

Gains or losses arising from de-recognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognised in the income statement when the asset is de-recognised.

Investments(i)

All investments are initially recognised at cost, being the fair value of the consideration given and, in the case of an investment not at fair value through profit and loss, including acquisition charges associated with the investment.

After initial recognition, investments which are classified as available-for-sale are measured at fair value or at cost in cases where the fair value can not be reliably measured.

Gains or losses on available-for-sale investments are recognised as a separate component of equity until the investment is sold, collected or otherwise disposed of, or until the investment is determined to be impaired, at which time the cumulative gain or loss previously reported in equity is included in the income statement.

Non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity are classified as held-to-maturity when the Group has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity. Investments intended to be held for an undefined period are not included in this classification.

Non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market are classified as loans and receivables. Investments in bank deposits are classified as loans and receivables.

Investments that are intended to be held-to-maturity or those classified as loans and receivables, are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition, over the period to maturity.

For investments carried at amortised cost, gains and losses are recognised in income when the investments are de-recognised or impaired, as well as through the amortisation process.

For investments where there is no quoted market price, fair value is determined by reference to the current market value of another instrument which is substantially the same or is calculated based on the expected cash flows of the underlying net asset base of the investment. Where the fair value cannot be reliably determined the investments are measured at cost.

Inventories(j)

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

Costs incurred in bringing each product to its present location and condition are accounted for as follows:

• inventoriesheldforresale–purchasecostonafirst-in,first-outbasis;

• materialsandconsumablestobeutilisedforrenderingofservices–purchasecostonafirst-in,first-outbasis.

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of activities less the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

Student fees and other receivables(k)

Student Fees and other receivables, are recognised and carried at original receivable amount less an allowance for any uncollectible amounts.

An estimate for doubtful debts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Bad debts are written off when identified.

Cash and cash equivalents(l)

Cash and short-term deposits in the balance sheet comprise cash at bank and in hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less.

For the purposes of the Cash Flow Statement, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.

Provision(m)

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability.

Provisions are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. Where it is no longer probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, the provision shall be reversed.

Employee entitlements(n)

The liability for employees’ compensation for future leave is accrued in relation to the length of service rendered by employees and relates to vested and unvested entitlements.

Leases(o)

Finance leases, which transfer to the Group substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased item, are capitalised at the inception of the lease at the fair value of the leased property or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The Institute has received Ministerial approval for all such leases.

Lease payments are apportioned between the finance charges and reduction of the lease liability so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are included in the income statement as finance costs.


Capitalised lease assets are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset and the lease term.

Leases where the lessor retains substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the asset are classified as operating leases. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised over the lease term on the same basis as the lease income. Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Revenue(p)

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:

Government grants

Government grants are recognised when eligibility to receive the grant has been established and it is recognised over the period in which the course is taught by reference to the stage of completion of the course as at the balance sheet date.

Stage of completion is measured by reference to the days of the course completed as a percentage of total days for each course. Where funds have been received but not earned at balance date a Revenue in Advance liability is recognised.

Funds for specific projects are recognised over the period for which the project is being carried out.

Student tuition fees

Revenue from student tuition fees is recognised over the period in which the course is taught by reference to the stage of completion of the course as at the balance sheet date. Stage of completion is measured by reference to the days of the course completed as a percentage of total days for each course.

Sale of materials

Revenue is recognised when the significant risk and rewards of ownership have passed to the buyer and can be measured reliably.

Interest

Revenue is recognised as the interest accrues (using the effective interest method which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument) to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.

Other taxes(q)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except:

Where the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable, and

• receivablesandpayablesarestatedwiththeamountofGSTincluded.

• thenetamountofGSTrecoverablefrom,orpayableto,thetaxationauthorityisincludedaspartofreceivablesor payables in the balance sheet.

Cash flows are included in the Cash Flow Statement on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority, are classified as operating cash flows.

Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Assumptions(r)

In preparing these financial statements the Group has made estimates and assumptions concerning the future. These estimates and assumptions may differ from the subsequent actual results. Estimates and assumptions are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below:

Property, plant and equipment useful lives and residual value

At each balance date the Group reviews the useful lives and residual values of its property, plant and equipment. Assessing the appropriateness of useful life and residual value estimates of property, plant and equipment requires the Group to consider a number of factors such as the physical condition of the asset, expected period of use of the asset by the Group, and the expected disposal proceeds from the future sale of the asset.

An incorrect estimate of the useful life or residual value will impact the depreciation expense recognised in the statement of financial performance, and the carrying amount of the asset in the balance sheet. The Group minimises the risk of this uncertainty by:

• physicalinspectionoftheassets;

• assetreplacementprograms;

• reviewofsecondhandmarketpricesforsimilarassets;and

• analysisofpriorassetsales.

The Group has not made significant changes to past assumptions concerning useful lives and residual values. The carrying amounts of property, plant and equipment are disclosed in note 8.

Comparatives(s)

In preparing these financial statements, certain items have been recategorised in order to better reflect the business operations of the Group. As a result, the comparative amounts have been restated in order to reflect these changes.

Financial risk management objectives and policies18.

The Group’s principal financial instruments comprise bank deposits, cash and short-term deposits.

The Group has various other financial instruments such as trade debtors and trade creditors, which arise directly from its operations.

Foreign currency risk

The Group has transactional currency exposures. Such exposures largely arises from purchases by the Polytechnic’s library in currencies other than the Institutes’ functional currency. The Group’s exposure to foreign currency risk is minimal.

Commodity price risk

The Group’s exposure to commodity price risk is minimal.

Credit Risk

With the exception of Student Fees the Group trades only with recognised, creditworthy third parties.

Receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the Group’s exposure to bad debts is not significant.

With respect to the credit risk arising from the other financial assets of the Group, which comprise cash and cash equivalents and available-for-sale financial assets, the Group’s exposure to credit risk arises from default of the counter party, with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these instruments.

There are no significant concentrations of credit risk within the Group.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty raising liquid funds to meet commitments as they fall due. Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash, the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities and the ability to close out market positions. The Group aims to maintain flexibility in funding by keeping committed credit lines available.

In meeting its liquidity requirements, the Group maintains a target level of investments that must mature within specified timeframes.

Trade and other payables (note 11) are all due and payable within 6 months of the balance date.

Capital management19.

The Group’s capital is its equity, which comprises accumulated funds and other reserves. Equity is represented by net assets.

The Group is subject to the financial management and accountability provisions of the Crown Entities Act 2004, which imposes restrictions in relation to borrowings, acquisition of securities, issuing guarantees and indemnities and the use of derivatives.

The Group manages its equity as a by-product of prudently managing revenues, expenses, assets, liabilities, investments, and general financial dealings to ensure the Group effectively achieves its objectives and purpose, whilst remaining a going concern.

Commitments and contingencies20.

Operating lease commitments – Group as lessee

The group has entered into commercial leases on buildings where it is not in the best interest of the Group to purchase these assets. These leases have an average life of between four and ten years with renewal terms included in the contracts. There are no restrictions placed upon the lessee by entering into these leases.

Future minimum rentals payable under non-cancellable operating leases as at 31 December are as follows:

Capital Commitments

At 31 December 2008 the Group had commitments of $Nil (2007: $5,356,000).

Legal claims

There is an outstanding legal claim against Whitireia brought by the Whitireia Independent Students’ Association. WISA are claiming a significant amount relating to the collection of student association fees for the years 2006-2008. Whitireia are rigorously contesting this claim. The outcome of this claim will not affect the Polytechnic’s status as a going concern.

Related party disclosure21.

Terms and conditions of transactions with related parties

Providing of ancillary services to and purchases from related parties is made in arm’s length transactions at both normal market prices and normal commercial terms.

Outstanding balances at 31 December 2008 and 2007 are unsecured and settlement occurs in cash.

There have been no guarantees provided or received for any related party receivables.

For the year ended 31 December 2008, the Group has not raised any provisions for doubtful debts relating to amounts owed by related parties as the payment history has been excellent (2007: $nil). This assessment is undertaken each financial year through examining the financial position of the related party and the market in which the related party operates in. When assessed as required the Group raises such a provision.

Crown / Government

Whitireia is a wholly owned entity of the Crown. The Government influences the roles of Whitireia as well as significant source of revenue.

Whitireia enters into transactions with Government Departments and Crown agencies on an arm’s length basis and where those parties are only acting in the course of their normal dealings with the institution. These transactions are not separately disclosed because of the volume of the transactions and because the transactions are conducted on an arm’s length basis in the normal course of business.

Related Party Transactions

At 31 December 2008 there was no amount owing to either party.

Quality reinvestment programme stage three

In 2007, Whitireia Community Polytechnic (Whitireia) received funding of $ 6,590,000 for its Quality Reinvestment Programme (QRP) Stage Three. The Tertiary Education Commission (TEC) approved this funding for the three years 2007-2009. The Quality Reinvestment Programme includes the following projects:

1. Optimise the future viability of Whitireia programmes for the Wellington region

2. Support and improve the viability of key high-relevance and loss-making programmes

3. Optimise organisational effectiveness and efficiency

4. Regional Waharoa

An agreement which states key tasks, deliverables and payments for QRP Three funding was signed by the Whitireia and TEC in October 2007. Whitireia received the first payment of QRP funding coinciding with the signing of the agreement ($2,040,000 incl. GST). In 2008, Whitireia received two further payments ($1,400,000 and 2,400,000 incl. GST), with a last payment due in January 2009 ($750,000 incl. GST).

Deliverables Reported to TEC

Project 1: Optimise the future viability of Whitireia programmes for the Wellington region

Ninety four programmes were analysed in 2008 and recommendations made to improve future sustainability and ongoing viability of Whitireia programmes. This led to the development of strategies and individual plans for improving financial performance and responding to changing stakeholder needs.

Project 2: Support and improve the viability of key high-relevance and loss-making programmes

Whitireia identified and reviewed a small group of loss-making programmes that are distinctive for Whitireia and its educational provision for the local community, and therefore of high strategic value. For these key programmes, individual plans for improving their financial viability have been initiated, while other programmes of less strategic importance have been rationalised.

Project 3: Optimise organisational effectiveness and efficiency

A progressive review of Whitireia organisational efficiency and effectiveness within the new policy environment identified a range of strategies that support development of improved business rules and processes, a more refined programme costing system, effective space utilisation and a more relevant and rigorous management information system. In terms of management, the Whitireia organisation chart was redeveloped to incorporate changing reporting lines. A records management framework, including the setting up of an onsite storage room was implemented.

Project 4: Regional Waharoa

As part of stakeholder needs identification in the Kapiti region, a Learning Centre was opened for a three month trial period in the Coastlands Mall. Together with other regional consultations and forum activities, outcomes of these initiatives were collated and evaluated to provide a clearer focus and develop a framework for ongoing tertiary provision.

QRP expenditure to date

The overall QRP expenditure was $ 3,750,372 (incl. GST) as at 31 December 2008 representing 66% of approved QRP funding, after 67% of the timeframe (2007-2009) has elapsed.
