Te Reo Māori

REO301
Course Description

By focusing on real life scenarios students will be able to communicate at an advanced level in the community as well as have more knowledge about Te aō Māori. Topics covered are: tribal ancestral stories, song and dance traditions, the revitalisation of Te Reo Māori, political issues for Māori in New Zealand, and spiritual and cultural Māori leaders of New Zealand. In addition, students have the option of participating in the inter-school Ngā Manu Kōrero speaking competition. This speech can then be counted towards their Kōrero portfolio. 

This course has a localised curriculum which draws on local tangata whenua to share knowledge.
