Creative connected curriculum and culture

Towards the end of 2021 a group of Year 9 students worked on a Pasifika Art unit from our Creative Connected Curriculum. The 28 students in this group researched patterns and designs from Pasifika cultures before designing one of their own and painting it onto our class tapa cloth.

We were recently able to have the work 'framed' and put on display in Te Pae Rewa. It's a beautiful piece of work reflecting culture and belonging, and 'creative excellence', and an outstanding example of 'Create' from our 'Learn Create Share' pedagogy, made so delightfully explicit with our Manaiakalani kaupapa.

This is a bit of a short photo study showing some of the work that went into the development of the imagery, and the final product.















The completed work, with many of the students who contributed to its completion.
