Covid-19 Protection Framework

Implementation of the Traffic Light System

As we enter a new phase of our response to Covid-19 and in line with the Governments Covid Protection Framework, from 3 December 2021 My Vaccine Pass will be required for entry to certain events, activities, shops and hospitality spaces at The Arts Centre Te Matatiki Toi Ora. 

My Vaccine Pass will be required for general admission to Rutherford’s Den, venue hires and entry to most Arts Centre events and programmes (you will need to check on each event for confirmation). My Vaccine Pass will not be required for general admission to the Great Hall, outdoor areas, e.g. the North and South Quads, or to the common areas within the Boys' High building. 

This is a developing situation, and will evolve as we work through the full implications of the Covid-19 Protection Framework. We hope to clarify access to more of our spaces in the coming days.
