Teacher in Charge: Whaea D. Day.
Year 10 Te Ao Haka is for ākonga (students) keen on kapa haka to learn more about the art form and develop their practice. Available for Term 4 only, ākonga will be learning with the NCEA level students for the first four weeks of the term, after which we will explore foundational knowledge and ideas in and about Te Ao Haka. Our practice focus will be on learning more about haka, mōteatea and waiata ā-ringa from our local region, the Wairau. There will be an opportunity to complete the first NCEA 1 standard on key features in Te Ao Haka, and, if ready the performance standard.

Ākonga at Level 1 engage with the foundations of Te Ao Haka, learn about the key performance skills, narratives, and styles of Te Ao Haka, and their development.
1.1 Demonstrate understanding of key features of Te Ao Haka
This standard begins to explore the contexts of Te Ao Haka. It also assesses Ākonga' understanding of Te Ao Haka as uniquely and recognisably Māori. This standard also encourages Ākonga to engage with the idea of Te Ao Haka having local dialects.
1.2 Perform an item from a Te Ao Haka discipline
For this standard, Ākonga will need to demonstrate their learning about the key skills of performance. The performance of a chosen discipline helps to assess Ākonga' engagement with the foundations and origins of Te Ao Haka.
Te Ao Haka provides ākonga with opportunities both within and outside of the subject. The development of Te Ao Haka skills provides lifelong learning and creates viable career pathways that lead on to further studies in areas such as theatre, TV and film, the tourism industry or government.
Te Ao Haka provides opportunities for all ākonga to develop as global citizens and promote te ao Māori on a global stage, through performances both to visitors to Aotearoa New Zealand, and abroad. This provides the opportunity for Māori culture to be a model for indigenous cultures across the world, giving relevance and value not only to itself, but to others, too.
