Mahuru Māori at your school

Schools are a great environment to share and learn more te reo Māori. By using even a little te reo Māori at school, your fellow staff and students gain confidence and encourage others to give it a go as well. Over the years we’ve seen all sorts of schools embracing the challenge in all sort of ways and we’d love to share your story about how you’re embracing Mahuru Māori at your school. 

Send us a short video (ideally a link online), a few photos or a few words to mahuru.maori@twoa.ac.nz and we’ll share your story with our Mahuru Māori whānau.

To help you get your school into the swing of things, here’re some great resources you can use:
