Why+Learn+te+reo+Māori

=The importance of learning te reo Māori.= Some examples of essence statements that teachers have shared with us:

It is our responsibility to value, respect and nurture te reo māori and tikanga Māori; to enable all students to understand Māori language and culture and make connections of their own to Aotearoa, in all present, past and furture generations. //(Thank you Kerrin)//

As New Zealanders we have the right and the responsibility to walk in both worlds of Aotearoa New Zealand. As a school and with parents, we have the task to prepare our children for Aoteaoa New Zealand of the 21st Century. //(Thank you Shelley and Viv)//
