“E rere te huata, kapohia!”
“When the spear flies, grab it.”
Whakangahautia Te Reo is a Year 10 te reo Māori unit designed to build confidence using language in authentic, everyday contexts relevant to rangatahi.
Through topics such as identity, friendships, school life, social media, and future aspirations, ākonga strengthen their ability to communicate naturally and expressively in te reo Māori.
The unit develops key language structures including Rereingoa, Rereāhua, Reremahi, and Rerewāhi, alongside time markers and kīhono.
Through interactive and meaningful learning experiences, ākonga learn to describe people and experiences, express opinions, discuss routines, reflect on the past, and communicate future plans with increasing confidence and fluency.
By the end of the unit, ākonga are able to use te reo Māori as a practical and living language for communication, connection, and self-expression.

Aligned with NZC Levels 3–4 and the Pou Reo framework — Kia Tika, Kia Rere, Kia Māori, and Kia Ora te Reo — assessment prioritises clarity, fluency, cultural integrity, and learner wellbeing. The focus is on authentic communication rather than technical perfection, encouraging courageous and enthusiastic reo use.
Performance-Based Presentation Task

Learners communicate about events, plans, routines, or social situations using past, present, and future markers. They demonstrate confidence through voice, delivery, and natural flow, highlighting growth in fluency and spontaneity.
