Parents rooms
Our parents rooms give you a private, quiet place to feed, express or care for your baby while you’re on campus. They’re open to students and staff at our Hamilton and Tauranga campuses.
Using the rooms
These rooms are for parenting and childcare only. Please help us keep them working well for everyone.
- Keep your children with you and supervised at all times.
- You can store breast milk in the fridge during the day. Put it in a container labelled with your name and the date, and take it home before the end of the day.
- Leave the room clean and tidy for the next person.
