Te Reo Māori at St Joseph’s School

At St Joseph’s School there has been a big focus on te reo Māori in the classroom. This was precipitated by the language progressions set out in the draft Māori language curriculum guidelines (now in final form:Te Aho Arataki Marau mō te Ako i Te Reo Māori - Kura Auraki).

In this clip we see the value that staff place on Māori customs and protocols, which they try to integrate into the wider school culture. We also see the value placed on their local community.
