MIHIMIHI - INTRODUCTION
Welcome to Te Reo Māori, the class of Hine-nui-te-pō. She is the mareikura of transformation and mana wahine. Tūturu whakamaua kia tina, tina, haumi e, hui e, taiki e!
WHAT WILL I LEARN?
The level 2 course aligns with Te Puāwaitanga, level 5 and 6 of the curriculum (developing social competence 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!
