Kia ora, nau mai haere mai
Māori Performing Arts refers to performing art forms that are uniquely Māori such as mōteatea and haka. The unit standards in Māori Performing Arts recognise skills and knowledge in this area.
These resources are to help teachers and tutors assess ākonga against the relevant Māori Performing Arts unit standards listed in the Directory of Assessment and Skills Standards listing and operational rules 2021 (DASS).
Assessors can use the assessment support material for the Māori Performing Arts unit standards to develop tasks and assessment schedules.
New videos for standards 22756, 32955 and 32956
