We need hapori selection forms completed by Monday! HERE’S THE LINK TO THE FORM
We have some great learning experiences on offer through the Friday hapori again this year. Hapori is a space for passion- and project-based learning, where the emphasis is on 21st century skills and competencies, and on developing the capacities for self-directed learning. Year 7-13 students have six hapori to choose from – the kaupapa for each is outlined briefly below. We’re excited to have some new ones this year, as well as some of last year’s favourites continuing.
On Friday 11 Feb, students will experience taster sessions for each hapori. This will provide a chance for ākonga to find out just what each hapori is offering and to chat with LAs and students about how their own passions and projects can be supported through the hapori. A form will be shared with students at the end of the day on Friday so they can make their selections. We’ll need all the forms completed by Monday so we can be ready for the first hapori session on Friday Feb 18.
