Ākonga will learn about the cultural significance of these art forms and develop their skills in performing them. Emphasis is placed on understanding the historical context, correct technique, and cultural sensitivity associated with waiata, haka, and poi. Through practical activities, rehearsals, and collaborative projects, ākonga will develop their teamwork, communication, and performance skills.
