Year 13 Te Reo Maori (MAO)
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Mr S. Winchester.
MIHIMIHI - INTRODUCTION
Welcome to Te Reo Māori, the class of Pania. He tipua kaitiaki, he tūrehu! She is from the seafolk surrounding Mataruahou, connecting two worlds together. The story of Pania is about standing true to who you are, where you come from and where you are going.
WHAT WILL I LEARN?
The level 3 course aligns with Te Pakaritanga, level 7 and 8 of the curriculum (achieving personal independence in te reo Māori). The new changes to Level One will form the foundation and be woven into the following year. While we await official changes to the Level 2 and 3 curriculum, we will also follow the well-known whakatauāki, “Ko te reo te taikura o te whakaao mārama” Language is the key to understanding.
The four main focuses of the new Level One Te Reo Māori course are:
Te Tika o te Reo - Language Accuracy
Te Rere o te Reo - Language Fluency
Te Māori o te Reo - Cultural integrity of the Language
Te Ora o te Reo - Language Vitality
WHAT COULD THIS SUBJECT LEAD TO?
Te Reo Māori provides students with a strong foundation of the indigenous language of Aotearoa, as well as an understanding, practice and confidence in kaupapa Māori spaces. These skills are valuable in all settings beyond school in tertiary environments, all workforces, raising tamariki and uplifting our whānau, hapū and iwi. This could also lead to Level 3 Te Reo Māori. If you are looking to work in any public sector, Te Reo Māori is a must!

Pathway
WHAT COULD THIS SUBJECT LEAD TO?
Tertiary - University, Teachers College, Polytechnic
Te Reo Māori can lead to a diverse range of careers, e.g. tourism, hospitality, diplomatic service, international business, immigration, customs, consultancy, interpreting and translation services, and many more. Learning a second language develops skills highly sought after by business, government departments and private enterprises (oral and written communication, team working, interpersonal and intercultural awareness, analytical, strategic and conceptual thinking amongst others). It also increases your awareness of your own language and makes learning further languages easier.
