Te Ao Māori

At Bledisloe School, we strive to grow our knowledge of te reo, mātauranga, and tikanga Māori. All classrooms participate in the Wai Ako programme and we are working towards embedding te reo Māori throughout our daily programme as we increase our capacity. We acknowledge the landmarks, Ko Ōtātara Pā te maunga, Ko Tūtaekurī te awa, Ko Tākitimu te waka, Ko Waiohiki te marae and whenua of our local hapū Ngāti Pārau and Ngāi Tahu Ahi and the iwi of Ngāti Kahungunu.
