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.
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. Through their learning, students will have opportunities to connect with 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.
The board of Te Waka Kura o Mohua | Golden Bay High School commits to continuing to give effect to Te Tiriti o Waitangi by ensuring plans, policies, and local curriculum reflect tikanga Māori, mātauranga Māori, and te ao Māori and by taking all reasonable steps to make instruction available in tikanga Māori and te reo Māori. At Te Waka Kura o Mohua | Golden Bay High School, we seek to embed the values of whanaungatanga, kaitiakitanga, manaakitanga and wairuatanga into our lives at school. |
Onetahua Marae
‘Onetahua’ is the local name for the nearby Farewell Spit, and is translated as ‘heaped up sand’. The whare tīpuna, Te Ao Marama, was opened in 2001. Onetahua connects ancestrally to the waka Tokomaru, the maunga Parapara, the awa Pariwhakaoho, and the puna Te Waikoropupū.
