E noho pāhikahika ana te Māori ki ngā tatauranga toromi, ā, i te tau e 2022 e 31 paiheneiti o ngā mate toromi katoa o Aotearoa, he Māori. Nā ngā taero reo, taero Māori hoki, kua manakore ngā aratohu wai auraki ki te Māori me ngā tamariki kura kaupapa pū anō.
Ko tā mātou, he whakamāori i ngā āhuaranga marutau wai me te mātauranga kauhoe. Ko te tirohanga Māori, tikanga Māori, whakapapa me te mātauranga Māori anō hoki ka āta whakatōria ki roto ki tō mātou kaupapa.
Katoa ngā karaehe he reo Māori, e tō ana i te whakaaro o te wai hei wai rongoā, hei wai whakaora, hei wai urutapu anō hoki.
E āhei mai ai te katoa, kua iti te utu, ā, he utu kore kia heria e mātou ngā tamariki kura kaupapa Māori ki ngā karaehe kauhoe.
He kaupapa mō ngā whakareanga katoa mai te pīpī paopao, ki ngā rangatahi, tae rawa atu ki ngā pakeke me ngā kaumātua, kia ahu mai ko te oranga pai ā-whānau me ngā āhuaranga marutau wai o ngā whakareanga katoa.
Ko te marautanga o Te Whare Kauhoe i ahu mai i te mātauranga Māori. Mātua rā ko te haumarutanga, te māiatanga me te whai hononga ki te wai.
Mā tō tautoko mai e para ai te huarahi ki ngā āhuaranga marutau wai, e whai oranga anō ai te Māori, e māia, e haumaru ai te ānamata ki te wai hoki.
We teach both swimming technique and water survival – from foundational skills through to advanced club-level training. Your child’s progression will be guided by their individual skill level.
Not at this stage. Te Whare Kauhoe is actively working to secure funding for a dedicated minibus to support this in the future.
All of our lessons are full immersion, delivered through a Te Ao Māori lens. Some of our administrative communication may be in reo Pākehā, as a few of our back-office kaimahi are still on their reo haerenga.
We welcome pēpi from as young as 6–8 months. At least one parent or caregiver must accompany the child in the pool during these sessions.
Āe – we do. Adult classes are available on request and are delivered bilingually to support all whānau, including those on their own reo Māori journey. Please email us directly to enquire.
You can register your tamaiti any time up until the day before the term begins. If you’re joining mid-term, kei te pai – just email us and we can assist with your registration.
Currently, Mondays and Tuesdays are dedicated to bulk bookings for kōhanga reo, puna reo, and kura kaupapa Māori. We are available for individual bookings on Wednesdays and Thursdays.
Yes, for now. As Te Whare Kauhoe continues to grow, we intend to expand into pools in West and North Auckland.
Āe. From 2026 onwards, our programme will align with the New Zealand school terms. Each term will run for 8 weeks. As this is our establishment year, we have had to navigate around the pilot programme and the availability of our local puna reo and kura kaupapa.
Not necessarily. Your tamaiti will initially be placed with peers of a similar age. Our kaiako will assess their skill level and adjust group placement accordingly to ensure the best fit for their development.
