He taonga te reo
The Māori language is a treasure.
What is Whiria te Reo?
Whiria te Reo is a foundational language programme for you and your team, whether you’re starting your te reo Māori journey or wanting a confidence boost.
Whiria te Reo is flexible, designed to develop your language skills over a year – or you might choose to focus on four of the scheduled modules. Each topic includes three live online webinars, alongside high-quality course materials, and access to online support throughout your journey.
For some schools, small teams of teachers enrol so that they can complete the programme as a team while sharing the learning journey.
