Recommended Prior Learning

Level 1 Te Ao Haka. Achieved all 14 credits on offer.

Te Ao Haka embodies several dispositions, giving ākonga the opportunity to grow into proud, confident, disciplined, resilient, accountable, hard working, committed, humble leaders who are able to work collaboratively. The skills of manaaki, tiaki, aroha, whakapono, aumangea, tiaki wā and tōngakingaki will provide lifelong learning for ākonga.

For many learners, Te Ao Haka provides access to te reo Māori that they have not previously had. Te Ao Haka encourages and facilitates learning about reo ā-waha as well as reo ā-tinana, allowing students to expand their skills as communicators.

Te Ao Haka offers a variety of opportunities for students to nurture and grow their leadership skills. Te Ao Haka requires and supports many different types of leadership, both on and off stage. This gives ākonga the chance to explore and exemplify leadership.

Te Ao Haka requires self-discipline, hard work and dedication. Students in this subject develop a strong work ethic, resilience, perseverance and problem-solving skills.

Whanaungatanga is embodied within the work of Te Ao Haka. Students learn about each other, create important bonds and learn to co-operate and work together.

As with any arts practice, Te Ao Haka fosters creativity and expression. Students will learn and grow as performers as well as fostering their lateral and critical thinking skills.

Southland Boys' High School endeavours to timetable courses depending on students' needs, interests and future plans.  Many factors can influence whether a course is able to be offered in the following year.  These can include:
These factors can also impact on timetabling, and as a result students will be asked for input about any clashes that may occur.
Where a course is not able to be run, students' back-up subjects will be used.  If there are issues with student selections and the timetabling process, students will have the opportunity to make a decision in conjunction with staff input on the best solution.
