NCEA Level 1 Te Reo Māori & Te Ao Haka
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Mr K. Wilson.
Course Objectives
Te Reo Māori is an exciting subject that provides opportunities for ākonga/students to engage in Te Reo Māori - the Māori language - Aotearoa/New Zealand's first Language. You will learn by actively experiencing and learning about Māori Culture through whakarongo/listening, tuhi/writing panui/reading and kōrero/conversing with the language.
Te Ao Haka is a new performance-based subject. It provides opportunities for ākonga to engage in Māori culture, language, and traditional practice. Ākonga learn their whakapapa, history and language through the medium of haka. The subject combines traditional and contemporary culture.
Ākonga/students will be able to select achievement standards from across both Te Reo Māori and Te Ao Haka depending on their strengths and desire. Customising their academic selection will be student-centred.
Course Content
The ākonga/students learn:
- Te Reo Māori: Learn about the Structure and vocabulary of the language
- Kapa Haka: Learn how to perform a Haka with confidence and learn the history of the Haka
- Taiaha: Learn how to use a Taiaha correctly and about the history of Māori Warfare
- Whakapapa: Learn about the history of how Māori lived.
The emphasis is to learn either Te Reo Māori, Te Ao Haka, Te Reo Māori and Te Ao Haka and/or a combination of this so that ākonga can choose from a strengths-based approach to their learning.
Assessment:
There will be two internal assessment achievement standards and one external assessment achievement standard.

Disclaimer
Rosmini College's timetable is student-driven and a new timetable is generated each year based on student subject selection. Unfortunately, while we do our best to avoid them, timetabling clashes may still occur and a few students may be required to choose an alternative subject option.
The 2025 timetable, including the number of classes in each subject and staffing allocations, is created based on student selections made in 2024. Because of this, changing subjects at the beginning of 2025 may not be possible. Please, make your subject choices carefully.
