Year 13 Tikanga Māori
Although next year timetables are yet to be finalised, course selection is now finished. Any changes to student courses will now take place in January.
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Mr T. Hapi.
Tikanga Māori is the customary practices and behaviours that Māori implement in their lives, especially during kaupapa. The creation of the Year 13 Tikanga course was to explore and understand these customary practices and behaviours so that students know how to engage in kaupapa Māori. We look at the history of Tangata Whenua and tauiwi and the differing perspectives that have derived from these histories over the years. Students also plan, prepare and produce a hāngi during the time of Matariki. Students also engage in Rongoa Māori and learn about kaitikitanga for our ngāhere. This course is very engaging and quite often the students in this class will be called upon to attend kaupapa Māori around Tauranga Moana to gain exposure to iwi and hapu tikanga. There are no prerequisites for this course, it is meant for every student at any level of their te ao Māori journey.
Please note, that this is a unit standard-based course as these units allow for more of a practical-based teaching and learning style.
Recommended Prior Learning
