Hapori
A Hapori course is a non-curricular focused learning experience driven by student passion. Rooted in the concept of "hapori" or community, these courses empower students to explore diverse topics outside the traditional curriculum, fostering collaboration and a sense of ownership over their learning. With a focus on self-directed exploration, Hapori courses encourage students to pursue their interests, ranging from creative arts to technology and social issues. This initiative reflects our commitment to cultivating well-rounded individuals who are not only academically proficient but also deeply connected to their passions and the broader community.
Dolce far niente is an Italian expression that can be translated as the sweetness of doing nothing. This class is an opportunity for students who struggle to engage with other learning opportunities during Kikorangi and would like to have a relaxed colour-block class that is not focussed on any particular learning goal. Students may opt to play chess, board games, socialise or spend time reading. They may also work on assessments and tasks from other classes, supported by a Mathematics & Science LA.
There is an expectation that this class will be largely device-free.
