This is a full year course, designed to build on the fundamental performance and research skills of Māori Performing Arts developed in Year 10. This course is structured to enable students to explore key features and elements of Te Ao Haka, the new Achievement standards offered to students.

It is expected that students in Māori Performing Arts are committed to being in Ngā Taiohi o Panuku, the kapa haka at Henderson High School.

During the year, students will learn waiata, mōteatea, poi, mau rākau and haka from different iwi. The will research different key features and elements of these compositions, which will contribute to our Internal assessments for our annual senior haerenga (trip). The purpose of the haerenga is to travel to a different iwi to learn the waiata, history and mita (dialect).

Year 11 Māori Performing Arts would suit a student with a strong interest in Te Ao Māori (the Māori world), performing and kapa haka. While students are not expected to perform at Polyfest, it is highly recommended as this performance is linked to our Internals. 

This is also an University approved subject.

Recommended Prior Learning

We welcome all tauira who are willing to commit to kapa haka and their class work if they have not had any kapa haka experience.
