Te Reo

Tōku reo, tōku ohooho

Tōku reo, tōku mapihi maurea

Tōku reo, tōku whakakai marihi

Te Reo

2.1 He tapu ngā reo katoa. Nō reira. me whai koha te hunga o ngā Kura Kaupapa Māori ki ngā reo katoa.

2.2 Mō ngā tamariki, kia rua ngā reo. Ko te reo o ngā mātua tupuna tuatahi, ko te reo o tauiwi tuarua. Kia ōrite te pakari o ia reo, kia tū tangata ai ngā tamariki i roto i te ao Māori, i roto hoki i te ao o Tauiwi.

2.3 He taonga te reo Māori i roto i te Tiriti o Waitangi, he reo tūturu hoki i roto i te Ture mo te Reo. Engari kāhore he painga o te Tiriti, o te Ture rānei, mehemea kāhore te reo i roto i te whatumanawa, i roto i te ngākau, i roto hoki i te māngai o te iwi Māori.

2.4 I runga i tēnei whakaaro, kia tere pakari ai te reo o ngā tamariki, me whakahaere ngā mahi katoa o te kura i roto i te reo Māori. Tae atu ki te hunga kuhu mai ki roto i te kura, me kōrero Māori katoa, i ngā wā katoa.

2.5 Anō te wā e tika ana mō te whakauru i te reo o Tauiwi ki roto i ngā mahi a ngā tamariki. Waiho tēnei mā ia whānau e whakatau. Ko te mea nui kē kia noho wehe ngā reo e rua. He wāhi kē mō te whakaako, he tangata kē hei whāngai i te reo o Tauiwi ki ngā tamariki. Anō, ko te mea nui, kia noho rūmaki te kura, kia kaua e kōrero māwhitiwhiti mai i tētahi reo ki tētahi reo.

2.6 E tika ana, mā te hunga tino mōhio ki te reo Māori, ki te ao Māori hoki, e ārahi ngā tamariki i roto i a rātou mahi. Engari kia tika anō te ngākau me te wairua o tēnei hunga, me whakapono hoki ki te kaupapa whānui o ngā Kura Kaupapa Māori. Heoi anō, me whai aroha tonu te hunga o te kura ki a rātou kāore anō kia tino pakari te reo. Mehemea he tangata tautoko i te kaupapa, āwhinatia. Mehemea e tino ngākau nui ana ki te reo, ā tōna wā ka mau.
