    Kia ora tātau,

    this term the focus will be on beginners level, 1-2. But, we will move into more intermediate levels in Term 4. Hopefully, those wanting intermediate levels will be able to join the class in Term 4.

    Hope that helps.

    Aku mihi

    Kia ora,
    I’d like to attend the free lunchtime te reo Maori course starting this Tuesday.
    When I tried to open the registration form, it wouldn’t load, so I would like to attend and be registered.

    Many thanks
    Nga mihi nui

    Kia ora Michelle, unfortunately the class has reached maximum capacity so registrations have closed.

    Can we please have a class on Fridays at lunch. Practicing speaking Maori would be great as I don’t get a chance to do that and my confidence to speak this wonderful language is going backwards. Cheers Martin

    Kia ora,

    My name is Sophie and I am new on the student success team here at unitec. I am aware of the 10 week Te Reo classes and I am really keen to join in on these classes. When I click on the link to sign up, it wont allow me to enter my detials or anything. I am wondering if there is any chance I can sign up to this course or get put on a waiting list.
