Full year course
As students learn te reo Māori, they also deepen their knowledge and understanding of tikanga Māori and develop their own personal, group, and national identity. In Level 2 Te Reo Māori we are working at Level 7 of the New Zealand Curriculum. The main objective this year is to develop personal independence in the language. Students will be working towards “using language variably and effectively to express and justify your own ideas and opinions, and support or challenge those of others.”
By the end of the year students will have developed some skill in:
communicating information, ideas and opinions through increasingly complex and varied texts
exploring the views of others, developing and sharing personal perspectives
engaging in sustained interaction and producing extended text

The Year 13 Te Reo Māori course gives students the opportunity to use their te reo Māori skills to explore complex traditional and contemporary Māori issues and to prepare students for NCEA Level 3 and NZ Scholarship. The course explores Māori ways of living in both modern and traditional contexts. Students are expected to develop a range of communication strategies to express their thoughts and ideas about complex issues. They can expect to undertake individual research to supplement class-based activities. The use of te reo Māori is encouraged in all lessons.
