Level 2 Te Ao Haka
Course Description
Head of Faculty/Teacher in Charge: Ms G. Paku.
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 Mātauranga Māori but is progressive in the development and evolution of the art form.
Students at Level 2 should be experimenting and innovating. This is reflected in the internals' credit values being higher than those of the externals to provide room for creativity and a safe space to develop through taking creative risks. Six credits have been allocated to both internal Achievement Standards for this reason, with the stated aim of bringing out the best in all ākonga in a 'safe', or familiar, space.

Please note that courses will go ahead only if student numbers, staffing, and timetabling allow it. Where a subject is oversubscribed, and there are insufficient numbers or resources to create an extra class, a ballot system may be applied.
Costs
The Board of Trustees has again asked to opt into the Ministry of Education donation scheme. Doing so resulted in the ability to waive student fee donations. Kaiapoi High School aims to deliver quality educational courses over and above those that which is funded by the Ministry. It is likely the School will opt into the donation scheme for 2025, however parental contribution for the costs of trips and activities where participation is optional, and/or components not covered by the Government grant, may be requested. We appreciate the financial support our families make to the School.
