Cultural - Arts, Music, Maori


At Mosston we believe in developing the whole child and place importance on giving many and varied opportunities. To that end we have the following programmes in place:

  • Kapa Haka - where children learn Te Reo phrases (reinforced daily in the classroom), waiata (songs), karakia (prayer) and haka.

  • Choir - Choir is taken by one of our teachers and the choir perform for the school and at outside engagements. 

  • Music lessons – Lessons are offered at the beginning of each year. These are subsidised by the Ministry of Education and are held at Whanganui Intermediate outside of normal school hours.

  • Speech – Every year the children write and deliver speeches. Those of a high quality compete in the West Cluster Speech Competitions (judged by the Toastmasters).
    ​
  • The Confucius Institute kindly provide Chinese language tutors who deliver Chinese language and culture lessons each week.
