TRM3: Te Reo Māori

Te Reo Māori is the key to understanding the Māori world. Te Reo Māori lays the foundation of communicative skills and cultural knowledge to enable students to be bilingual and bicultural with an appreciation and consideration of a Māori worldview. 

When  Ākonga build on their Te Reo Māori communication skills they support the vitality of the language to ensure it thrives.

Ākonga will learn and use the four language strands of tuhituhi (writing), pānui (reading), kōrero (speaking), and whakarongo (listening) in a variety of contexts. This will enable ākonga to express their thoughts in Te Reo Māori with increasing accuracy, fluency, cultural integrity and gain an understanding of language revitalisation. 

Ākonga will learn and maintain Ngāti Raukawa tikanga and kawa. 

Ākonga will learn in the contexts of:

• Ngā Manu Kōrero,

• Kapahaka,

• Noho Marae,

• Rā Haka,

• Tuakana - Teina relationships, and

• Te Ao Māori - Ngāti Raukawa

Ākonga will build confidence to share their Pepeha, and to contribute to everyday kōrero.  

Ākonga will work towards NCEA Achievement Standards.

Your work will be assessed through three internal and two external achievement standards. 

• Standard 91650 - Whakarongo kia mōhio ki te reo Māori o te ao whānui (internal)
