Year 9 Te Reo Māori
In Year 9 Te Reo Māori, we learn fundamental Māori language skills through being able to say who we are and where we are from. This is done by learning how to say mihi, pēpeha and whakapapa. From here we begin to learn more about who we are as a kura at Ōtūmoetai College, including being able to recite and perform our school karakia, tauparapara, haka, and waiata. We then learn how to describe things around us, using day-to-day phrases, greetings, farewells, commands and questions.
The following kaupapa (topics) are covered in the Year 9 Te Reo Māori half year course:
- Karakia / Tauparapara
