NCEA Level 3 Maori Performing Arts (Te Ao Haka)

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Mr G. Rameka.

Year 13 Maori Performing Arts is transitioning to Te Ao Haka.  This is being slowly integrated from 2025.  Te Ao Haka is a culturally responsive art form, providing opportunities for all ākonga to engage in Māori culture, language and traditional practice. Te Ao Haka is founded on traditional knowledge, but is progressive in the development and evolution of the art form.

Intrinsic to Te Ao Haka are culture, language and identity. Te Ao Haka is a vehicle used to wānanga and communicate culture, tikanga, knowledge systems and iwi traditions. Te Ao Haka is enabling and centres around the importance of family, marae, iwi, hapū and waka through connection with the past, present and future. This belonging gives ākonga a purpose to strive towards and achieve to their full potential, including empowering them to have fun and enjoy the performing arts.

Ākonga who engage with Te Ao Haka recognise that pride in their culture also comes with a responsibility to create a positive space for others to continue expressing themselves in developing their craft. Therefore, ākonga are able to understand their contributions to the art form.

Recommended Prior Learning

It would be helpful if a student has participated in Year 12 MPA or Te Awhiorangi (school kapa haka group)..
