Year 12 Te reo Māori (Level 2)
Subject Description
Head of Faculty: Miss C. Clech.
Te reo Māori is an official language of New Zealand. Studying it shows respect for this important part of our culture. It is a treasured language protected by the Treaty of Waitangi and is a key part of our national identity.
When New Zealanders learn and use te reo Māori, they become more aware of how the language and culture shape our unique identity in the world. Learning te reo Māori and understanding its customs help students connect with their own identities and build shared cultural understandings.
Everyone who learns te reo Māori helps keep it alive and vibrant. They also come to see that our differences make us stronger together. Te reo Māori supports Māori cultural growth and contributes to social and economic progress in New Zealand and beyond. Learning the language also challenges the mind and encourages deep thinking.
Course overview:
