We'll invite you to the event via your calendar for Wednesday 14th September 11.45 am ready for a 12pm start. We'll be screening Te Petihana Reo Māori 50th Anniversary national celebrations beforehand and our tamariki will lead us in activities for 15-20 minutes. 

Helping to meet the need in schools

We see there is a great need in our schools to provide opportunities to learn te reo Māori and to increase the number of confident te reo speakers. We work with schools to provide these opportunities online. Te reo Māori and Kapa Haka are our most popular classes. We want to raise the profile of learning online and get support for more schools to access our expertise and grow their confidence and capability in te reo me tikanga Māori.
