At Onehunga High school, The Arts are a powerful form of expression that recognise value the unique bi-cultural and multi-cultural significance of Aotearoa/New Zealand. The rich cultural diversity of Onehunga High School brings together a range of unique perspectives, the outcome is magical. A range of cultural perspectives encourages creativity and entrepreneurship - we see evidence of this in all of the Learning Areas.
In The Arts, students learn to work both independently and collaboratively to create meanings, produce works and respond to and value the contribution of others through dance, drama, music and visual arts. They learn to use imagination to engage with unexpected outcomes and to explore multiple solutions. The Arts give us the opportunity to express those ideas that can often find no other voice.
