Te Reo Māori is a trimester course aimed at supporting you to communicate at a basic level in Māori. There will be an emphasis on activity-based learning with lots of opportunities for you to speak and listen to te reo in a fun and welcoming environment . After completing this course you will be able to greet and farewell people, introduce yourself, understand classroom instructions, say the days of the week, seasons and the months of the year and talk about the weather.

Please note this course is language focused and is very different to the compulsory cultural course; Te Ao Māori.

Students with an immersion or bi-lingual background will be offered an extension course tailored to their needs.

Te Reo Māori is available up to Year 13.
