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.
Books are a uniquely portable magic - Stephen King
Maybe you’re a regular reader, maybe you’ve fallen out of the habit, maybe you’re yet to catch the reading bug… Whatever the case, this class can feed your soul. Reading for enjoyment opens windows to whole new worlds and benefits people in an amazing number of ways.
On Fridays we will walk down to Tūranga and spend the double block there exploring the collections and losing ourselves in our own personal reading. In the Tuesday block we will be based at school, with opportunities to share what we’re reading and get recommendations for new reads.
