Learning Area
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
Immerse yourself in hands-on climate action at the Climate Action Campus in Ōtautahi. Connect with the whenua, grow food, regenerating red-zone land, and building real skills for a more sustainable future.
Grow, Forage & Cook
Students will learn practical regenerative gardening skills — planting crops, sowing seeds, and foraging from the campus gardens and surrounding area. Harvest fresh kai and cook simple dishes straight from the garden, connecting food systems to climate resilience and local ecosystems.
Perfect if you are thinking of taking NCEA Horticulture in 2027.
