    Welcome to Maori Language Week.

    The National Māori Flag


    This year for Māori Language Week, we are having a “Māori Language Moment” at 12pm on Monday 14th September to commemorate the actual time and day in 1972, when 30,000 signatures were delivered to Parliament calling for te reo Māori to be taught in schools.

    We will also be participating in this event with thousands of others across the country, by choosing a/various Māori language activity/activities so that you are able to earn a cultural cornerstone.
