Year 10 Te Ao Haka
10TAH Course DescriptionHead of Faculty - Kaihautuu: Matua T. Frearson-Kirkwood.
Recommended Prior LearningYear 9 Te Ao Maaori or Year 9 Te Reo Maaori
This is a Semester course that has a focus on the understanding of Toi Whakaari and Tikanga Maaori rather than Te Reo only.
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 Pukekohe High School our waahanga [department] has created a program that allows students to study Toi Whakaari for a full year.
Students are given this option in Year 10 so they can gain NCEA credits in Year 10 and be given a huge lift in preparing them to achieve NCEA Level 1.
Toi Whakaari and Tikanga Maaori [Culture] are taonga [treasures] recognised under the Treaty of Waitangi. All who learn 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 Toi and 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.
