Our Te Reo Champions

The purpose of this group is to give Year 6-8 students who are passionate about learning te reo and tikanga Māori the opportunity to be in a tuakana role and share their learning with others.  The group learn and then go into classes to support students and teachers with different aspects of tikanga and te reo.

Students need to be prepared to give up their own time occasionally and be confident to teach their learning from the group, to other ākonga.

Ako ambassadors meet during school time once a week and are removed from their regular classroom timetable in order to attend.

Selection of students: Any interested Yr 6-8 children. Children need to apply to the teacher in charge outlining their qualities and why they would like to be part of the group.
