MĀORI LANGUAGE WEEK 12-18 September 2022

Janine Clague —

Welcome to Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori, a great opportunity for us to celebrate the Māori language and tikanga.

This year is extra special as 14 September marks the 50th anniversary of the Māori Language Petition. This event led to many of the kaupapa we have today, including Te Wiki o te Reo Māori.

Our East Taieri ākonga (learners) will celebrate Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori in a variety of ways: listening to waiata, reading Māori legends and books, practising our te reo, creating Māori-inspired artworks, and much more. We have also signed up to take part in the Māori Language Moment.

For more information and ideas about how to celebrate the Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori go to https://www.reomaori.co.nz/
