Naumai hoki mai anō ki Mahuru Māori.
In line with our maramataka Māori, this year Mahuru Māori will start on Monday 22 September 2025 and end on Tuesday 21 October 2024.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.

Narnz Roberts is a kaiako at Tawhiti School and she has been part of the Te Ahunui whānau for years. Narnz not only grew into a speaker of reo, she developed the skills and knowledge to create a safe learning environment for her ākonga. She says it is great see her students follow this example and uphold the values that maintains a safe space in the classroom.
The Ataarangi principles create a safe space to learn and speak te reo Māori. This environment works to quieten self-doubt and build positive, supportive relationships.
“ The tamariki are so supportive of each other. ”
Narnz has watched student confidence grow. Greeting people in te reo Māori is now the norm for students at Tawhiti.
“Mōrena, tēnā koe!”
Narnz helped establish a pae kōrero for their morning routine. This involves karakia and mihimihi. Students are so eager to have their turn on the pae, she had to create a roster so everyone gets a chance to stand and kōrero.
He mahi rangatira, he reo rangatira. E mihi ki a koe Narnz and the students at Tawhiti School.

Ōtara - Tāmaki - Pātaka - all get tohutō / macrons. It’s March and I’m only just finalising our fresh signage and flyers for the year… this process is hōhā (annoying) but necessary and satisfying when it’s done. Whakamana te reo Māori. Arohatia te reo Māori 🫶🏽
Āe, now I know I can do the kupu once and the tohutō once, join them and copy paste that around ahuhu!

He haerenga te ako i te reo Māori – e motuhake ana ki tēnā, ki tēnā o tātou. I tēnei ataata, ka kōrero a Te Mihinga mō tōna haerenga me ōna wheako nōna e whakapakari ake ana i tōna reo.
Ahakoa te taumata o tō reo, kāore koe e mokemoke ana! Whakatairangatia tō haerenga reo i ngā pae pāpori kātahi ka kōtuia a #mahurmaori e whai wāhi ai koe ki te mano tāngata puta noa i a Aotearoa me te ao whānui e whakapakari nei i ō rātou reo mā te wero o Mahuru.
