Recommended Prior Learning

Enrolling into this class is through application only and acceptance is based on space availability, whānau & learner commitment to wānanga ethos.

Apply through options portal by selecting ‘Māori Medium Pathway’ before choosing options.


The year 10 wānanga runs very much like a standard year 10 rōpū whānau. Learners in this class move around the school taking core subjects together and also take a range of options.

What makes this class unique is the classroom environment, the content taught in lessons and the extra-curricular expectations on the learners in this space (pōhiri, school tikanga & Kaupapa Māori leadership etc).

The curriculum in this class is delivered using a Kaupapa Māori approach where tikanga, matauranga & Māori teaching and learning methods are prioritised.

Learners in this class are offered two level one NCEA unit standards that contribute towards their literacy credits. These standards are the Te Reo Matatini literacy co-requisites (see credit info). Due to this, learners are expected to take a double semester option of Te Reo Māori to ensure best results as these standards are completed by compiling two portfolios of work written and presented in Te Reo Māori.
