Kia ora koutou,

Nau Mai haere mai ki to Aidanfield Christian School whānau paetukutuku. This page is aimed at being an informative way to view what’s going on, in and around our Maori and our extended community connections in the school.

Colossians 3:16-17 Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and advise one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns and songs from the spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

Ngāti Moki Marae at Te Taumutu

Aidanfield Christian School is very proud to be affiliated with Ngāti Moki Marae at Te Taumutu. A place of learning, Ngāti Moki Marae at Te Taumutumarae has a long and proud history of working with schools to support them in being culturally responsive to Maori students. We look forward to what the future holds as we continue this partnership together.

Expressions of Maori Tikanga (Culture) at Aidanfield Christian School are:

Kapa Haka

Held once a week, students learn waiata, waiata-a-ringa, poi, haka and kupu. We are very blessed to have a Kapa Haka tutor who shares the same faith and is able to intertwine the two so beautifully and effortlessly, Matua Anton McLean teaches our shared faith and te ao Maori beautifully

Kapa Haka is offered to students in Year 4-10 who wish to commit for the year and attend events. There is also opportunity for our Year 2-3’s who wish to learn within school time to extend the learning that’s already taught in class.

We hold many events throughout the year within the school and in the wider community which gives our tamariki a chance to showcase all they have learnt throughout the year.

Powhiri / Welcome

Our Kapa Haka ropu open with a welcome, at this event the whole Kura gather to take part in the process of welcoming new students or teachers to ACS and international short-term students and teachers to our school. It’s a great way to teach the whole school what it means to come together and eventually become one people. This is an event our Kura do well.
