An Article About the Institute Before Its Voluntary Liquidation in 2018.

Situated in the heart of New Zealand, Avonmore Tertiary Institute was a small college that offered a variety of small classes designed to prepare students for a career. Each course was designed with specific goals in mind, and the catalog offered something for everyone.

Online reviews and other items pointed to the idea that this fine place of higher learning had paved the way for any career, from barbering to a career in IT. This happened since the school’s inception in 1988, which means the school has been around for over thirty years before its closure. It once boasted a voluptuous student body of 780 students during its heyday.

Problems began as early as 2016 with the closing of the campus cafeteria. Students lost their jobs and familiar gathering places.

The cafeteria closure set the stage for a rapid and steady decline in the number of enrollees, which caused major concerns. The small college with its reduced class size was home to many students, most of whom felt comfortable in a learning environment that was more focused and less distracting.

This was a major change for those needing the credits to graduate, and this was something that the school planned to help with. A Plan B remained in effect where the administrative staff was in the process of coordinating with other institutions in the area to transfer these students safely and without losing course credit.

Students and staff felt the effects of the closure. Staff suddenly lost their jobs and were forced to find work elsewhere while students wondered what would be in store for them next. Some sought suitable transfers that allowed them to continue with the remaining coursework without losing credits. Nothing was said for the teachers, but it is speculated that they could find positions at other institutions.
