Bilingual and Immersion
Te Aka Taumatua is our centre of excellence for bilingual and immersion programmes for ākonga from Year 1–13. Learning in Te Aka Taumatua is grounded in te ao Māori, integrates the threads of Te Ara Pounamu, our local curriculum, draws on both Te Marautanga o Aotearoa and the New Zealand Curriculum, and gives life to Ka Hikitia, Ka Hapaitia. Kaimanaaki work with ākonga, whānau and hapori to create personalised programmes of learning that promote success for all as Māori. The process of developing a personalised learning plan is supported by My Korowai, our online learning plan platform in My Te Kura. My Korowai guides ākonga, with support from kaimanaaki, whānau and hapori, to share, develop and reflect on their learning, interests and goals.
