Year 10 Te Reo Maaori

Course Description

Head of Faculty - Kaihautuu: Matua T. Frearson-Kirkwood, Mrs J. Chamberlain.

This is a full year course that continues developing understanding of Te Reo Maaori and Tikanga Maaori. 

We understand that second language learners of Te Reo Maaori struggle with the current NCEA assessment format. To assist these students to have a good chance with assessment at NCEA levels 1-3 Pukekohe High School as created a program that allows students to study the language for a full year. 

Students are given this option in Year 10 so they can build on the Year 9 program. Inside the program Year 10 students will have a sound understanding that Te Reo Maaori [Language] and Tikanga Maaorii [Culture] are taonga [treasures] recognised under the Treaty of Waitangi. 

Te Reo Maaori also has significant status as one of 3 official languages of Aotearoa [New Zealand]. All who learn Te Reo Māori and understand Tikanga help to secure their future as a living, dynamic, and rich language and culture.  By learning Te Reo and becoming increasingly familiar with Tikanga, Maaori students strengthen their identities, while both Maaori and non-Maaori alike develop shared cultural understandings and at the same time have an improved chance of success with NCEA assessment at Levels 1-3.
