Celebrate Te Wiki o te Reo Māori with us
Ake Ake Ake – A Forever Language
Te Wiki o te Reo Māori is an annual celebration for all New Zealanders to show their support for the Māori language, an official language of this country.
The theme for Te Wiki o te Reo Māori is ‘Ake Ake Ake – A Forever Language’.
It represents the resilience, adaptability and endurance of the language.
Join us this Te Wiki o te reo Māori as our Māori Learner Support Centre, Te Punaka Ōwheo, host a series of free celebratory events.
