Ruma Reo/Bilingual

Our Vision is for our tauira (students) to achieve success in a Te Ao Māori horopaki (context) in order to empower them to become connected, collaborative community learners inspired to SOAR. How they will achieve this is through our program, modelled off of the traditional bilingual unit, where all the curriculum subjects are taught (i.e. English, Maths, Health and PE etc) in a Te Ao Māori horopaki and with a strong Te Reo Māori component.
