Year 13 Te reo Māori (Level 3)
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:
This subject encourages Māori students to take pride in their heritage and invites all students to share in it. Students will use language two years ahead of the NCEA Level 1 standard. They will enjoy and feel satisfied by improving their skills in spoken and written Māori, understanding and respecting te rao Māori and tikanga Māori (especially local customs).
By the end of the year, students will be able to:
- Join conversations with te reo Māori speakers, understand most of what is said, and add relevant comments.
- Explain and discuss their ideas creatively in te reo Māori.
- Tell the difference between facts and opinions, recognize when someone is trying to persuade them, and talk about their future
- Use different strategies to learn te reo Māori effectively.
