Kelston Boys’ High School
Level 1 Te Reo Māori
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Whaea B. Henry.
"Nōu te reo, nōku te reo. E noho tahi ai tātou i raro i ngā wawata mo te reo Māori"
The language is yours, the language is mine. We are united in our aspirations for the Māori language
Aims:
Te Reo Māori is taught to a highly diverse group of students, in many different contexts, including Māori students who are taking the opportunity to reclaim their heritage language and culture and non-Māori beginning their journey into the Māori world that will strengthen the bicultural and bilingual fabric of Aotearoa New Zealand.
Students of Te Reo Māori, in tandem with learning tikanga Māori will develop and apply a range of communicative skills in a variety of contexts that will enable them to express their thoughts in te reo Māori with accuracy, fluency, cultural integrity and gain an understanding of language revitalization.
Course Content:
This course will focus on the following four significant learning areas that serve as a foundation for learning and assessment of Level 1 NCEA Te Reo Māori, with emphasis on speaking te reo Māori.
Te Rere o te Reo - Language Fluency
Te Māori o te Reo - Cultural integrity of the Language
Te Ora o te Reo - Language Vitality, Sustainability
Entry Requirements
Te Reo Māori Level 1 builds on the year 9 and 10 Te Reo Maori courses. This course is only available to students who studied Te Reo Māori in Year 10. Students may also gain entry into this course at the discretion of the Languages Department Learning Leader (DLL)
Pathway
Te reo Māori is indigenous to Aotearoa New Zealand. It is a taonga recognised under the Treaty of Waitangi and an official language of Aotearoa.
By learning te reo and becoming increasingly familiar with tikanga, Māori students strengthen their identities, while non-Māori journey towards shared cultural understandings. All who learn te reo Māori help to secure its future as a living, dynamic, and rich language. As they learn, they come to appreciate that diversity is a key to unity.
Success in our Level 1 te reo Māori course provides students with a foundation of communicative skills and cultural knowledge that will be useful for studying Level 2 Te Reo Māori.
Te Reo Māori supports further academic learning and leads to a vast range of career pathways.
