Are you up for the Mahuru Challenge?

Nau mai hoki mai anō ki Mahuru Māori. 

In line with our maramataka Māori, Mahuru Māori started on Saturday 23 August 2025 and ended on Monday 22 September 2025. In 2026, Mahuru Māori will start on Friday 11 September.

It doesn’t matter whether your reo skills stop at kia ora, or you can whaikōrero on the marae with the best of them, Mahuru Māori is something we can all do.

So jump on the waka e hoa mā, and let’s give Mahuru Māori our best shot.

Mahuru Māori Reo Challenge

How it works

It can be anything that makes you speak more Māori. An hour a day, half the day, all day every day, or as a beginner just start with greeting and farewells in Māori.

2. Get your mates involved

Get a team of friends, family or workmates involved and plan some virtual catch ups. You’ll have more fun, stay motivated and feel more comfortable in the reo zone.

3. Speak te reo Māori

Speak te reo Māori as much as you can during Mahuru. Every time you do, you’re revitalising te reo and breathing life back into our native tongue. Be brave, be bold and be patient.

We're taking the Mahuru Challenge. Will You?

Nau mai, haere atu tēnei kawenga mihi ki a Ngāi Pīkoko mā, koutou te hunga e whakapeto ngoi ana kia mate-kore ai tō tātou reo rangatira, tēnā koutou! Rarau mai anō ki tā tātou kaupapa e mahuru mārie ai te ngākau Māori, otirā, e Māori tonu ai te marama o Mahuru!

We’re all taking this year’s Mahuru Māori challenge. The aim is to learn and gain the confidence to speak te reo Māori in our everyday lives. Some of us are just beginning, others will immerse themselves all day long, everyday. Read more of our stories here.
