What to do
You will be interviewed by your kaiako who will ask you to reflect on your personal learning journey in a discipline of Te Ao Haka.
You will use the interview to tell your story, demonstrating your knowledge of the skills and experiences you have gained along the way.
Part 1
You will identify and share with your kaiako which discipline you would like your interview to focus on.
Your kaiako will have a set of pre-prepared questions available for you to see and study before your assessment interview. Look through these questions and write down or record some ideas that come to your mind.
Think about where and when you began your learning journey in your chosen discipline. Is there a memory you have about your early days of practising the discipline? Now think about where you are today. What is different, how have your skills changed and grown?
Now think about the moments in between:
- what are some key learning moments that stand out for you, and how did they change you as a performer and as a person?
- what skills have you developed in the discipline, and what moments led to you building those skills?
- looking back from where you are now, what are some things you could have done better in your journey?
- what life skills have you gained through your study of this discipline?
You should also spend some time thinking about how you want to discuss your journey as a whole:
- why have you chosen this discipline to exemplify your learning in Te Ao Haka?
- what have your experiences taught you about Te Ao Haka as an artform and as he taonga tuku iho?
- how will you take what you have gained in your learning journey forward into your life?
Write some notes for yourself to use as reminders in your interview.
Part 2
Ask someone you trust, like a friend, whānau member, kaiako, or kaumātua to give you a practice interview using the pre-prepared questions from your kaiako.
Play around with your answers and ask for feedback on what worked well and what might need some strengthening. You might want to record your practice interview so you can watch and give yourself some feedback.
Use the notes you have taken in Part 1 and try to strike a good balance between looking at your notes to refresh your memory, but not just reading from the paper. In your assessed interview, you will want to be able to speak in the moment, as not all of the questions will be provided ahead of time.
Taking in the feedback from your practice interview, revise your notes and organise them so that you can use them confidently in your interview.

Getting started
You will need to decide what discipline you would like to discuss in your interview.
What is a Te Ao Haka discipline?
Examples of disciplines include:
- mōteatea
- waiata ā-ringa
- poi
- haka, haka wahine
- whakaeke
- whakawātea.
Your interview will be about you and your learning journey in a discipline of Te Ao Haka, so think about what discipline would best exemplify how you have grown and changed through your practice. The questions will also ask you to talk about specific moments in your learning that had an impact on you.
You do not need to limit your answers to your NCEA years – if your learning journey in your chosen discipline started earlier, you can talk about those experiences too.
Your kaiako will also have some pre-prepared questions for you to study and think about. You might want to use these to help make your decision by practising some answers using a few different disciplines. You might also want to get advice from your kaiako or another trusted person who knows about your learning journey in Te Ao Haka.
Is there a particular discipline where answers are coming more easily, and you feel you have more to talk about and share? Have you had particular moments in your learning journey related to a discipline that would be good examples to discuss?
