Māori Performing Arts Level 2
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Ms M. Donaldson.
Māori Performing Arts
This course offers many avenues for learning, developing, and growth. You will learn to critically analyze many different aspects of Te Ao Haka through Ngā mahi ā-Rēhia me Tāne Rore who are our Kaitiaki (guardians) of this arena. The mātauranga Māori in this kaupapa (subject) is rich and inspiring as it is laced with the traditions of our tupuna (ancestors). It is a journey of self discovery and empowerment. As you navigate your way through this kaupapa, you will be challenged, uplifted, and empowered to be a toa (warrior) for this taonga (valuable kaupapa).
Approximately 80% of this kaupapa is practical and requires a lot of commitment to managing your learning outside of school hours. The other 20% is made up of theory which means that there will be some time spent in the classroom to support you with some of your expected written assignments.
* Full year course - offering Levels 1-3. (Teina - Juniors are allowed to be part of this course, however will not be able to attempt assessments until Year 11).
Course Overview
Term 1
WHAKATAKI: Introduction to all 3 Levels. Whakawhanaungatanga - reconnect over what you did in the hararei (holidays) with your whānau and friends. Hardcopies and uploaded digital copies to your google classrooms.
There are practical and theory components to completing these courses successfully. As you navigate your way through the theory side of the ā-roto (internal assessments), you will also be required to learn all mōteatea, oriori and other traditional and contemporary waiata to be competent enough to stand when required as some the requirements of the ā-roto is the performance side.
Planning the year ahead and what this entails.
Classroom management and student self-directed learning - as tuakana, it is your responsibility to set the standard high, but ensure that it is achievable by role modelling expected behaviour. You will be expected to be part of the formal proceedings of the pōwhiri at the beginning of the year 2025.

There is planning around meeting your targets to ensure that you are completing as you begin to prepare for Matariki festivals, planned fundraising events to support the team going to Japan and Flava Festival. There maybe a possibility that we attend the Secondary national kapahaka competitions held up North.
