Students will learn and develop a range of traditional and contemporary art and design skills in order to create a range of art pieces to be displayed within the school. The project will focus on Aro-Tākaro (implements of play) as well as relevant tikanga and kaupapa, and connections to whenua and hauora.
Students will collaborate to design, preview, and test creative ideas before turning one main idea into a large mural that represents the school’s DRIVER values.
Students will learn about garment construction as well as environmental aspects of the garment industry. They will plan, design, and construct their own upcycled garments to be displayed at an installation showcase.
This project will allow all students at the school to create and publicly exhibit their own art in conjunction with a local art studio.
Students will develop their storytelling and performance skills across a wide range of mediums, working towards a final ‘pick-a-path’ style performance. Chapbooks containing student writing and drawings will be a tangible take-home for students.
This project will allow small groups of students to work with a creative to learn how to better self-regulate and express themselves through movement and theatre. At the end of the programme, they will hold a performance to show their new skills.
