Nau mai rā, piki mai rā, hoki mai rā ki te ao o te reo Māori.
“Ko te reo te taikura o te whakaao mārama. Language is the key to understanding." Nā Te Wharehuia Milroy, nō Ngāi Tūhoe.
Te reo Māori is the key to understanding the Māori world. Te reo Māori lays the foundation of communicative skills and cultural knowledge to enable students to be bilingual and bicultural with an appreciation and consideration of a Māori worldview. The five main language skills necessary for effective communication, namely listening, speaking, reading, writing and cultural awareness, are interrelated, and this will be reflected in the teaching and learning programme for Te Reo Māori. It is vital that students demonstrate contextual understanding of Te Reo Māori with accuracy, fluency and cultural integrity. It is also important that students contribute to the revitalisation of the language for the good of the collective.
