Ko te reo te manawa pou o te Māori,
Ko te ihi te waimanawa o te tangata,
Ko te roimata, ko te hūpē te waiaroha.
Ko tōku nui, tōku wehi, tōku whakatiketike, tōku reo.
Te reo Māori is indigenous to Aotearoa. It is a taonga recognised under Te Tiriti o Waitangi, a primary source of our nation’s self-knowledge and identity, and an official language. By learning te reo Māori me ōnā tikanga, students become more connected to this land and its peoples. Specifically, students in Māori studies will have opportunities to connect with local mana whenua through visiting the marae, visit wāhi tapu/ areas of significance in the area and learn about these through the lens of place-based pūrakau. 

In Māori studies we seek to embed the values of whanaungatanga, kaitiakitanga, manaakitanga and wairuatanga into our lives at school. Each course offers a holistic experience of blended speaking, reading and writing in te reo Māori, as well as various matauranga offerings tailored to students’ interests.
