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

This course comprises two parts. When the weather's good well head out in the city to take artistic and awesome photos of the environment in which we live and learn.

For the first 20 minutes of each class or if the weather's poor we'll stay at school and learn about using the exposure triangle, the rule of thirds, and perspective in order to take great photos.

It will be driven by you and what you want to achieve. Ideally you'll have a trust licence so you can take your photography in your own direction.

You'll require some form of camera, but see me if you want to do it and don't have one, and the motivation to get outdoors.
