He Kura Kāinga
Unsure about what to study? With so many different options we know it can be an overwhelming decision.
Whāia he āhuru mōwai ki konei.
Ka whakapau kaha Te Wānanga Ihorangi kia tutuki ai tō whai i te reo. Ko te hiahia, kia noho tēnei whare hei kāinga rua mōu e ako nei, e whakamātau nei, e whanake haere nei.
Inā kōwhiri koe i Te Wānanga Ihorangi, anei ngā tino kaupapa:
Rumaki
Ko tō mātou ara ako matua, ko te whakarite wāhi e rumaki ai te reo. Ko ō mātou kura tērā, me ngā Tohu Pōkairua NZQA hoki i te reo Māori. E mōhio nei mātou ka wehi pea te tangata i tēnei āhuatanga, heoi, koinei pū te huarahi tika e mau ai te reo ki ngā ngutu o ngā ākonga.
Kounga
Ka akiaki, ka wero hoki ā mātou hōtaka i ngā ākonga kia whāia te reo Māori ki tōna keokeonga. Ka mau tonu mātou ki te whāinga kia puta ake he ika ā-whiro e pakari nei ki te tuhi, ki te pānui me te kōrero i te reo Māori.
Tiaki Mauri
Reclaiming te reo Māori can be a long and hard process. For some Māori language learners, the classroom environment is fraught with feelings of inadequacy, historical pain and never feeling ‘Māori enough’. Yeah, we know these stories, and we understand.
Te Wānanga Ihorangi has created a learning environment where language anxiety is acknowledged. We have supportive and understanding kaiako, wrap-around pastoral support, a great teacher-student ratio, in-class kaiāwhina, catch-up sessions, and space for one-on-one tutorials every Friday. Te Wānanga Ihorangi can’t replace the hard work, courage, and dedication you will need to reclaim te reo Māori. However, we are committed to removing as many of the in-class barriers that stop our students from succeeding.
Tuakana-Teina
Ko te ariā whakaaro - kia koha atu, kia koha mai - ka arataki i ā mātou kura wānanga me ngā hōtaka. He momo hirahiratanga kei ia kaiako, kaiāwhina, ākonga, kaumātua, paakeke me ika ā-whiro hoki hei takoha mai ki tēnei wāhi ako. Āe, ko koe hoki tēnā! Ka noho tōmua ngā takohatanga mai a ngā hapori, ā, ka ngana mātou ki te whakatutuki i ō whakahoki kōrero ka hua ake hei ngā tau e haere ake nei.

“Ko te kaupapa o Te Wānanga Ihorangi he kaupapa i hua mai i te kōingo nui o te ngākau ki te whakatū i tētahi kaupapa hei akiaki i te reo ki te horopaki o te whakapono. I tipu ahau ki te Haahi Iriiri, i tipu hoki ahau ki roto i te Hāhi Ringatū ki runga i ōku marae, ki ngā rekereke o ōku tīpuna – kīhai taku whakapono me taku Māoritanga i tukituki, kīhai taku reo me taku whakapono i tukituki.
He kura tēnei mō te katoa, mātua rā ko te reo Māori – ko te reo Māori te oranga o te ahurea Māori. Whakakotahi mai e te iwi, kia hāpaitia te reo Māori, kia horapa whānui te kakara o te reo Māori ki ngā tōpito katoa o te motu. Kia tapatahi te ngākau mō te reo te take, ahakoa ngā wehenga ā-whakapono, ā-iwi, ā-aha ake rānei mā roto i te aroma me te tūmanako.”
