We are inviting expressions of interest from schools with ākonga interested in participating in our new Rumaki Reo.
Tōku reo tōku ohooho,
tōku reo tōku māpihi maurea,
tōku reo tōku whakakai marihi.
He karanga tēnei ki ngā tamariki i tipu ake i te reo Māori.
There are tamariki around Aotearoa who have been raised immersed in te reo, who may have been in Kohanga and Kura Kaupapa and are now in mainstream schools.
We are introducing Te Whare Rūmaki o Kōtui Ako to support kura and meet the needs of these ākonga by bringing tamariki together with our Kaiarahi Mātauranga Māori, Tewaiehu Savage, in an immersion environment designed to maintain and strengthen their reo.
Expressions of interest are invited for ākonga in Years 5 – 8 who are fluent in reo Māori, from schools who do not have their own rumaki, or access to specialist Māori support.
Schools or whānau who are interested please contact [email protected]
There is no cost to participate, Kōtui Ako VLN will be sponsoring this year.
