Te Reo Maori

Te Reo is taught holistically and communicatively, with listening, speaking, reading and writing interwoven with tikanga/cultural philosophy and practices).  It is taught with topics which relate to the world of the student and Te Ao Māori (the Māori world). Structures, vocabulary and grammar are covered according to themes and student level. Significant seasonal events/kapa haka/marae visits will be incorporated into the programme in the context of the calendar and other events outside the school.
