Above is Year 7 Level - Year 9 & 10 should include a greeting and whakapapa.
A greeting is how you begin a conversation or introduction. In te reo Māori, greetings are used to show respect and acknowledge others. Common greetings include "Tēnā koe" for one person, "Tēnā kōrua" for two people, and "Tēnā koutou" for three or more. "Kia ora" is also widely used and can mean hello, thank you, or be well.

A pepeha is a structured way of introducing yourself that expresses your connection to the land, people, and places. It often includes references to a mountain, river or sea, place of origin, and current home. It may also include tribal affiliations, marae, and waka if the person has Māori ancestry. For non-Māori, a pepeha can still be used respectfully to show connection to where they live and where they come from.
