Nau mai rā, piki mai rā ki 10MAO!  Tēnā koe otirā tēnā koutou e te whānau.


Tawa College at Te Whakataetae ā-Rohe mō Ngā Manu Kōrero, Pipiri 2023

Wellington Secondary Schools' Regional Māori Speech Competition, June 2023

The aim of 10MAO is to have ākonga finish the year able to, "cope with a variety of routine situations when talking to speakers of te reo Māori.  They can use familiar language with some flexibility and pick up some new language from its context."  Furthermore, "They are becoming more confident in using a range of language learning strategies".

The focus is on whakarongo and kōrero.  Look forward to regularly delivering your pepeha (or karapipiti), sharing about life at home and school, including activities you enjoy doing, talking about kai (and maybe eating some too).  Heoi anō, Māori mā, Pākehā mā, Tangata Moana mā, hara mai rā kia rongo ake, kia kōrero ake, kia rewa ake tō reo rangatira o te whenua nei.  Turou Hawaiki!
