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.

Description

Exploring the Port Hills while looking for random boxes in bushes (geocaching - own devices needed but can be shared). We will bus to three different locations in the Port Hills over three weeks and walk/run to another bus stop to return to school. We will leave school during HB time. This will be physically demanding with many ups and downs on the hills. With two LA’s we can separate and have a walking group and a running group. Which one is up to you. You will need your bus card. Appropriate footwear, clothing, and sunsmart options will be needed along with your snacks, lunch, and water for the day.
