Year 10 Te Ao Māori (Full Year)

This is a full year course which leads on to NCEA L1 Te Reo Māori, Te Ao Māori and/or Te Ao Haka, and then onto study at Years 12 and 13. 

Students will develop an understanding of Te Ao Māori (the Māori world). They will have opportunities to learn and use our school karakia, tauparapara, waiata and haka in everyday settings. They will also learn the basic skills of mihimihi, and be able to demonstrate appropriate tikanga in a range of settings.

A core component of this course requires students to learn about manākitanga - manāki tangata, manāki marae; hospitality, caring for others, and upholding the kawa and tikanga of our school marae, Okohanga.
