Ko tōu reo, ko tōku reo, te tuakiri tangata. Tīhei uriuri, tīhei nakonako.
Learning a new language provides a means of communicating with people from another culture and exploring one’s own personal world. Languages are inseparably linked to the social and cultural contexts in which they are used. Languages and cultures play a key role in developing our personal, group, national, and human identities. Every language has its own ways of expressing meanings; each has intrinsic value and special significance for its users. - New Zealand Curriculum

WHY STUDY te reo māori AT YEAR 12?
The Year 12 Te Reo Māori course is designed to develop lifelong linguistic and cultural skills in te reo Māori and tikanga Māori, to enable you to communicate about your own experiences in te reo Māori and also prepare you for NCEA Level 2 Te Reo Māori.

You will be given opportunities to attend cultural events and performances.
What will I learn?
What will I learn?
Te Reo Māori is included in learning languages, which is one of the eight learning areas in The New Zealand Curriculum. It emphasises the inseparable links between language, culture, and identity. As you learn te reo Māori, you also deepen your knowledge and understanding of tikanga Māori and develop your own personal, group, and national identity. In Level 2 Te Reo Māori we are working at Level 7 of the New Zealand Curriculum. Your main objective this year is to develop personal independence in the language. You 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 you 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
What WILL I DO?
