Be inspired. Be invigorated.

Phase 1: Te Rekamauroa

Te Rekamauroa is phase one of Te Ahu o te Reo Māori and Te Reo kia Rere. It been purposefully contextualised for the education sector incorporating local dialect, history, stories, songs, haka and narratives. The name Te Rekamauroa is derived from a type of kūmara, brought here to Aotearoa from Hawaiki. Translated as “The Long-Lasting Sweetness” the kūmara was traditionally grown and harvested in ways that had to be adapted to suit the new environment; much like how we need to stay current and think strategically around language regenesis today, so we can forever savour the sweetness of the Māori language.
