He Taonga te reo 

Did you know that the Māori language is a treasure? If we learn it, speak it and use it on a daily basis, it will be there for the future for Māori and all New Zealanders.

This course is designed to support students to further develop their skills in speaking, reading, writing and listening in Te Reo Māori. All students will be considered for this course.
