Courses Description

Head of Pathway: Mrs K. Lousi.

Fa’atino ma a’oa’o sau siva fa’aonopo nei, i lau lava gagana Samoa e fa’aoga ai le ulutala “Osofa’iga i le Vaveao”(Dawn Raids)

In Fanau Pasifika, Performing Arts is a genuine and legitimate learning experience.  We expect our students will develop strength and knowledge in contemporary and traditional Pasifika performance and cultural norms and practices. As well as the obvious benefit for our students’ cultural identity, Performing Arts can also be the beginning of students’ further study at degree level in dance and drama.

Students will learn about the Dawn Raids and learn a range of aspects of theatre production. They will get to see a live performance, perform a scene from the play Dawn Raids by By Oscar Kightley for 4 UE Literacy Reading credits (2.1).  They may also have the opportunity to write a script based on their own scripted play for 4 UE Literacy writing credits (2.8).
Translation in Samoan of the same performance.
