Tikanga Māori

Level: 1, 2, 3. Please note the assessments are all Unit Standards and are internally
assessed.

Aims: To build knowledge and skills in Te Ao Māori specifically in Taranaki through Unit
Standards that consist of waiata, tikanga, protocols, kawa and research. Māori tourism is
also explored at Level 3.

Competencies: Communicate and reflect on relevant Taranaki history through waiata and
tikanga that not only explores the Māori language but also enables students to use these
waiata and tikanga in appropriate settings outside of the classroom. Assessments include

assessment task. There are also research topics where students study Māori leaders of
significance who have impacted on the Māori community at some stage with particular
