Pukekohe High School
Year 9 Te Ao Maaori
Course Description
Head of Faculty - Kaihautuu: Matua T. Frearson-Kirkwood, Mrs J. Chamberlain.
This is a one-semester/18-20 week course that focuses on developing a basic understanding of Te Reo Maaori and Tikanga Maaori.
All Year 9 students will come to know 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 a greater understanding of practicable bi-culturalism (adapted New Zealand curriculum, Ministry of Education, 2007).
