Te Reo Māori

Ko te reo te manawapou o te Māori
Mā te kōrero
te reo e ora ai
Mā te ora o te reo
ka rangatira te tangata

Ko te reo te waka kawe i te wairua me te whakaaro Māori, e whakatinanatia ai ngā āhuatanga katoa o te ao Māori. He taonga tuku iho te reo Māori, he taonga e tautokohia ana e te Tiriti o Waitangi. Ko te reo te iho o te ahurea. He reo, he mana, he wairua, he whakapono, he tikanga tō tēnā tangata, tō tēnā iwi, tō tēnā rohe. Mā te reo Māori rawa e whakahua, e kawe, e whakamārama te huhua noa o ngā tikanga Māori. Mā te mātau o te ākonga ki te reo Māori, ka mārama tōna huarahi ki te ao Māori, me tana mahi hoki i roto i te ao Māori. Ko te rumaki te tino huarahi e matatau ai te ākonga ki te reo Māori. Ko te reo Māori hoki te reo hei kawe i ngā wāhanga ako katoa. Ahakoa te ōrite o ngā kupu me te reo o tēnei marautanga, kia kaha tonu ki te manaaki i ngā reo ā-iwi.

Kei konei e takoto ana ētahi tūmanako mō te reo e mātau ai te ākonga ki te reo Māori me te ao Māori.
