Whaowhia te kete mātauranga.

Take your te reo Māori to the next level with this semi-immersive programme with the support of friendly kaiako. Our kaiako will help you learn how to build on your intermediate-level te reo in everyday situations and become more confident in your spoken te reo.

Part of each class is in English, with time to practise and converse in total te reo, allowing ākonga to apply language structures and features and to communicate with more confidence in various situations, on the marae, socially and in the workplace.

At the end of each course, you will have an overnight noho which will offer further opportunities to be immersed in te ao Māori and expand your understanding of te reo me ōna tikanga.

Tukuna te reo kia rere | Let the language flow.
