Māori Dimensions and Cultural Diversity |
New Zealand’s cultural diversity Children, from every culture, deserve the best education possible. We will reflect NZ’s increasingly multicultural society through providing students with a range of opportunities to celebrate their own cultural identity and the diversity of other cultures. The unique position of the Mäori culture We understand, value and appreciate the values of Te Tiriti o Waitangi. We aim to uphold the articles of Te Tiriti,o Waitangi, Kawanatanga, Tino Rangatiratanga and Oritetanga. Some of the ways we achieve these are through Te Reo and tikanga being integrated in classrooms and through cultural experiences such as: hangi, Marae visits, attendance at the Cluster Kapahaka Festival, to ensure that all children have the opportunity to experience Maori culture, protocol and language both in and out of the class. We aim for te reo Maori to be taught more formally as a language from years 0 to 8. |
