Ko taku reo taku ohooho. Ko taku reo taku mapihi mauria.

My language is my awakening. My language is the window to my soul.

Kapa Haka

Poipoia te kākano kia puawai Nurture the seed and it will blossom

At Haeata Community Campus, our goals in Kapa Haka are to develop a school-wide connection and celebrate our students and their learning through kapa haka. We do this by creating learning stories, allowing ākonga the opportunity to lead and enjoy kapa haka when they come.

Kapa Haka ā-kura has seen a massive growth in leadership and engagement over this year through building connections and positive relationships with kaupapa Māori. Our senior student leaders consistently support us throughout the term helping with setting up, facilitating, leading and growing our ākonga.

Pasifika

O le tele o sulu e maua ai figota Through collaboration, the most difficult challenges can be overcome.

Haeata Community Campus is a place where your Pacific children, students and young people will thrive. By studying with us they will be supported with strong support networks to help them prepare for a successful life and career in a vast range of fields. Having a strong parent connection and community engagement is important for us at Haeata.

The Pasifika hub is a space dedicated for Pasifika students and is the heart of learner life on campus. It provides them with a real sense of belonging.

We also offer a strong Pasifika Culture group, a well-rounded Sāmoan language teaching course and an ESOL personalised strategy; that allows adaptation to learning programmes, acknowledging diversity all our whanau bring and flexible to ensure all ākonga are able to be active members of their learning journey at Haeata.
