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.
Learn history that connects to you. Your past. In this class, you will discover your ancestors, where they lived and where they came from. You will find your place in the world today, based on those who came before you. As the generations go back, you will learn about different aspects of New Zealand history and beyond. Each ancestor provides a different background and story. As you uncover your unique past, you will be able to dive deep into it.
You will need support from your family to get started, and then it is all about learning how to research and patience in discovery.
