Te Wiki o te Reo Māori takes place this year between 14 and 20 September. 'Kia Kaha te reo Māori' is the theme for this year's Māori Language Week. Kia Kaha is a well-known phrase in New Zealand, meaning be strong. So when we say 'Kia Kaha te Reo Māori' we're saying 'Let's make the Māori language strong'.
Māori Language Week has been celebrated in Aotearoa since 1975. This particular week is an opportunity for the concentrated celebration and promotion of te reo Māori, helping to secure its future as a living, dynamic, and rich language.
There was Celebration of Te reo Maori language in school by growing connections with Maori communities, Learn a Māori kupu or phrase each day, Support teachers and students to create and share their pepeha, Sing waiata, Explore Māori place names, Read Māori myths and legends, Organise a school or community event.
This week was Mori language celebration week, and different activities and games were organised in the school for teachers and students to participate and learn about Maori language and its history and importance. At the end of the week, it was Mufti day and best hair decoration competition for students and teachers.
