CONNECTING WITH SCHOOLS<br />
HE TŪHONO KI NGĀ KURA<br />
A fabulous<br />
collaboration with<br />
Massive Theatre<br />
Company. My<br />
students and I<br />
learned so much<br />
about some of<br />
our well know and<br />
lesser well-known<br />
NZ women.<br />
TEACHER – KIWI KAPERS<br />
With the onset of COVID-19 and the<br />
ensuing lockdowns our work in schools was<br />
condensed into two highly concentrated<br />
periods in the middle and end of the year. In<br />
spite of this we were still able to undertake<br />
over 180 school visits and deliver over<br />
310 hours of <strong>APO</strong>PS work. Our total<br />
schools’ engagement finally totalled over<br />
350 hours. The <strong>APO</strong>PS programme also<br />
provided professional mentoring to two<br />
Auckland Youth Orchestras. Although our<br />
Discovery concert for secondary school<br />
students was cancelled in May; Kiwi Kapers<br />
for primary and intermediate schools was a<br />
big success and over 3100 young people<br />
attended these concerts at the Aotea<br />
Centre and Vodafone Events Centre in<br />
October. This concert, in partnership with<br />
Massive Theatre Company, was an artistic<br />
exploration of the lives of four prominent<br />
New Zealand wāhine, and provided the<br />
platform to showcase five New Zealand<br />
composers to Auckland’s rangatahi.<br />
