« Back to Te Reo Māori
Māori is one of the official languages of New Zealand and is an integral part of the country’s culture. There are numerous reasons to learn Māori including personal enjoyment or career requirements. Whatever the reason may be, learning Māori provides great satisfaction, a greater connection with New Zealand and an enhanced understanding of our culture and society. For many ākonga, including young adult and adult learners, there are no fees for Te Reo Māori courses. Please see the Fees page on our website for further information.
A range of themes and skills will be practised through listening, speaking, reading and writing in Māori. The following topics will be covered: ngā Atua Māori, Toku Ao, He Huihuinga, Ko Te Ao Marama and Tangata Rongonui.
Additional possibilities: Performing Arts offers physical education, dance and music standards. Ākonga can be assessed individually, or as part of a group.
