TE REO MĀORI

Ka nui te mihi aroha, te mihi miharo, te mihi maioha mo tēnei tau hōu ki a koutou katoa.  

This Te Reo Māori course will be focussed on learning for NCEA Assessments.  Where necessary Unit Standard Assessments will be used.  We will be offering Level 1, 2 and 3 in this course, however our students will need to be competent at a level of reo to be able to converse with and use in oral and written work.

Level 1 will look at using the language.  Level 2 and 3 will be higher level of thought and use.

Course aims / learning outcomes

• This is a multi-level, year-long Te Reo Māori/Māori Language course.  Students will need to have a passion and a commitment to learning and using the language.
• Students will learn sentence structures to be able to use to kōrero/talk and tuhi/write for assessments or pure enjoyment!
• Students will learn about tauparapara, whaikōrero, karanga, mihimihi, karakia and other tikanga prominent to Māori Culture & Customs.
