Maninirau i ngā Kura

Ko te whakapiki i te māramatanga o maninirau i Aotearoa tētahi o ngā rautaki a ANZCA. Ko tētahi huarahi e tutuki ai tēnei ko te whakauru maninirau ki ngā kura. Ngā mihi ki a koutou puta noa i te motu e mahi ana i tēnei! Kei te hiahia a ANZCA ki te whakatū i tētahi rōpu arotahi e whakauru ana ki te hunga e hiahia ana ki te uru atu ki tēnei kōrerorero/mahi i ētahi mahi kia tutuki tēnei. I roto i ngā tau e rima e haere ake nei, kei te whakahouhia te Manatū Mātauranga e te marautanga a motu, nō reira ko te wā pai tēnei ki te whakauru mai ki te mahi. Mēnā kei te hiahia koe ki te whakauru atu, whakapā mai ki info@anzca.co.nz, ka huri te poi i runga!

Ko ētahi tauira Maninirau kei roto i ngā kura e whai ake nei:

Circus in Schools

Increasing the visibility of circus in New Zealand is one of ANZCA’s strategic focuses. One way that this can be achieved is by getting circus into schools. There are many of you around the country who are already doing this (thank you!). ANZCA would like to set up a focus group that includes those who are interested in being involved in this conversation/doing some work to make this happen. Over the next five years, the Ministry of Education is refreshing the national curriculum so it is the perfect time to get involved and take action. If you are interested in being involved in this focus group which will be led by a few of the ANZCA steering committee members, please reach out to us at info@anzca.co.nz and we’ll get the ball rolling!

Some current examples of circus in schools happening around the country are listed below:

• Danny Syme is teaching aerials and tumbling skills at St Margaret’s College in Christchurch.

• David Ladderman is teaching clown and devising in high schools via Centrepoint in Palmerston North.

• Tess Munro Pedreros and Evelyn Coulson are teaching aerial silks and ground based circus to students at Selwyn College under the Creatives in Schools funding scheme.

• Tania Bracey-Brown and their team from Circus Kumarani have been teaching ground based circus skills at Te Kopuru Primary and Selwyn Park Primary (Dargaville) under the Creatives in Schools funding scheme. The team also regularly teach at Blomfield Special School in Whangārei and Kaitaia through Tū Manawa Active Aotearoa funding and have recently introduced ‘functional juggling’ using juggleboards from Quat Props.

• Laura Oakley, Katelyn Reed, and Aidin Ralfe are teaching ground based circus skills to students at Newtown School through The Circus Hub (Wellington) under the Creatives in Schools funding scheme.

Kei te whakahou i a mātou pūnaha me te whakapai ake i tā mātou paetukutuku kia māma ai o mātou tāngata ki te whakatere me te mārama me pēhea te painga o te mema. Ānei ētahi o ngā painga o te mema ANZCA:
