About this event
Kai ngā pou o ngā whare tapere o tēnā whaitua, o tēnā iwi, o tēnā hapū, o tēnā whānau, o tēnā kura, tēnā tātau katoa!
Two kura will host Te Ao Haka ki te Ao Symposiums in 2025, offering an opportunity for kaiako to learn, develop or master their skills and knowledge of Te Ao Haka enabling them to integrate these into their teaching, learning, and assessment programmes.
The symposiums also provide a valuable opportunity to network with other kaiako and experts within the wider Te Ao Haka community.
NZQA personnel will be present to provide support with queries about assessing ākonga against internally assessed standards and unpacking the requirements for external assessment.
The Tāmaki Makaurau symposium will be held at Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Hoani Waititi Marae. Our kaimanaaki (host) for this symposium is Ana Berry.
