Cultural Groups

Kapa Haka

Our Kapa Haka time has three goals:

  1. To give tamariki an opportunity to build relationships with their peers in a Te Ao Maori environment 

  2. To establish a love for waiata that carries through the year levels

  3. To share our learning by performing for our community

Tamariki learn waiata, hand actions and basic poi together and we use tuakana - teina buddy support.

Pasifika

Our Pasifika group aims at providing students with the opportunity to experience and embrace the beauty of the many cultures within our school. Our three focuses are; 

  1. Building young Pasifika leaders and utilizing the knowledge held by students to teach other students and teacher about their own culture. 

  2. Talanoa around culture, respect, and identity.

  3. Tell and showcase stories through performing arts
