10 Te Reo Māori

Subject Description

Teacher in Charge: Anthony Keung.

Year 10 Te Reo Māori is designed to extend on the foundation skills and knowledge gained in Year 9 Te Reo Māori.  Year 10 Te Reo Māori is a course designed to give students skills and knowledge in preparation for Te Reo Māori at NCEA Level 1. 

Year 10 Te Reo Māori is an advantage as the course builds on what is learnt in Year 9. These students will already have knowledge of basic sentence structures and would have begun to build their vocabulary.  However, students without previous experience in Te Reo Māori will be introduced to these for the first time and will still be able to achieve at this level.

Pre-requisites: None  

Materials Fee: Nil
