Home Learning | Papa Kāinga TV is free to air, on TVNZ channel 2+1 and on TVNZ OnDemand, as well as on Sky Channel 502 and Vodafone TV. It runs from 9am to 3pm on schooldays with programming for children and young people aged 2 to 15, as well as for parents.
Programme schedule
Each week we’ll be publishing details of the coming week’s lessons so teachers, parents and learners can plan ahead. We will also focus on lessons that might be of interest or help deepen learning tasks set by teachers.
Because filming and editing is completed just a day or so before broadcast, the schedules published here are subject to change. We recommend you tune in a few minutes early to make sure you don’t miss the particular lessons you want to see. For the most up-to-date schedule, check the TV guide on your television or device.
