Our Foundation programmes provide ākonga with the opportunity to build knowledge and skills across the learning areas through meaningful engagement with, and creative responses to, art.

Creative and critical thinking, interpersonal skill development and wonder are encouraged through lively kōrero, activities and creativity.
