Reclaiming te reo M\u0101ori can be a long and hard process. For some M\u0101ori language learners, the classroom environment is fraught with feelings of inadequacy, historical pain and never feeling \u2018M\u0101ori enough\u2019. Yeah, we know these stories, and we understand.<\/p>\n
Te W\u0101nanga 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 kai\u0101whina, catch-up sessions, and space for one-on-one tutorials every Friday. Te W\u0101nanga Ihorangi can\u2019t replace the hard work, courage, and dedication you will need to reclaim te reo M\u0101ori. However, we are committed to removing as many of the in-class barriers that stop our students from succeeding.<\/p>\n
