Learning outside of the classroom and exploring exhibitions created by artists offer ākonga (students) a rare moment to pause, think, and connect. Our expert educators deliver New Zealand curriculum (Understand, Know, Do) driven programmes, integrated across curriculums. All programmes are based around current exhibitions, and are designed to inspire curiosity and creativity.

Toi Hāpai (The Journey)

Toi Hāpai is our foundational document, underpinned by the New Zealand curriculum. Each of our programmes are designed around at least one of Toi Hāpai’s four pou (pillars) of learning:

1. Ahurea Taukiri
   Cultural identity
2. Whakaaro Auaha and whakairo wewete
   Creative and critical thinking
3. Kaitiakitanga
   Guardianship, conservation and sustainability
4. Taonga tuku iho
   Explore, discover and value Aotearoa New Zealand
