Applications for the December 2012 graduation ceremonies will open at 9.00 am on Wednesday 12 September, you will be able to apply online via PIMS. Please note that there is a limit to the number of people who can graduate in person at any one ceremony. The closing date for the December ceremonies will be 1 October. However, should the maximum number of applications for a ceremony be reached prior to 1 October, no further applications for that ceremony will be accepted from that point onwards. We recommend that you submit your application as soon as possible.

If you wish to graduate, but do not wish to attend a ceremony, then you need to apply to graduate in absentia. The same opening and closing dates as given above apply.

There will be skips out on Friday 31 August from 9am to 4pm so you can get rid of all that stuff you can’t put out in your black sacks or recycling bins. If you can, it’s probably best to get rid of your rubbish before 3.30pm, as skips which are taken away to be emptied towards the end of the collection period may not be replaced with a new skip.

If skips located closest to your flat are full, please take your rubbish to another skip.

Please make yourself familiar with the DCC rubbish collection service requirements for using DCC rubbish bags only and when to put out your recycling bins. Non-DCC rubbish bags will not be collected.

Thanks for your help to keep north Dunedin clean.
