Toi Whakaari Open Day
The Toi Whakaari Open Day, held on Friday August 25, 2023, is an opportunity to explore our high-quality facilities at Te Whaea - National Dance & Drama Centre and get a sense of our school values and student culture.
Participants are asked to register their attendance online using the form below. You will receive a tour of the school, meet key staff and tutors, and learn more about our programmes.
Visit us any time - whether online or in-person!
If you’re considering studying at Toi Whakaari but unsure where to start, our website provides all the information you need to know about our courses. No question is a silly question, and on our FAQ’s page you might find the answers already exist!
Sometimes it’s better to get a sense of our kura in-person. We are always open to providing tours of the building, and we encourage you to make an appointment in advance. Whether it’s just yourself, your whānau, or a group - simply get in contact and our team will help you out.
As part of our teaching program, our students produce a number of incredible productions - many of which are open to the public! Our Performance Season page tells you all about our upcoming events and to attend.
