TE WHAKAURUNGA

HUARAHI URU – ENROLMENT PROCESS   

Ka whakauru mai te tauira ki Te Wharekura o Mauao mā te reo Māori. 

Nō reira, mehemea kua kuraina ki tētahi kura ā iwi, kura kaupapa Māori, rūmaki Māori rānei e te tauira, ka tono tōtika i te pepa whakauru, ā, ka whakaritea he Uiui i te Tumuaki e ngā kaimahi o te Tari. 

Kei te Wharekura he karaehe paku mō ngā tauira e ako tonu ana i te reo Māori, ko 'Whakatipu Reo'.

Mehemea kua kuraina ki tētahi kura aunoa e te tauira, ā, kāore e taea e ia ki te kōrero Māori, ki te ako mā te reo Māori, me tono mai ki te rārangi tatari 'Whakatipu Reo. 

Kei te wā he tūranga wātea ki tērā karaehe, ka whakapā atu ngā kaimahi ki a koe ki te whakarite he Uiui i te Tumuaki. 

Heoi anō, ko te wero kē, me karapoti te whānau ki taua tamaiti hei tautoko mārika i tōna rūmaki ki tēnei kura reo Māori, hei tere whakatipu tōna reo. 

Students gain entry to Te Wharekura o Mauao via their fluency in the Māori language. 

Therefore, students who have been educated at Māori medium schools or immersion units within mainstream schools, can apply directly and our administration team will then organise an enrolment interview with the Principal. 

TWOM has a small class for students who are still learning to speak Māori, which is a transition programme called 'Whakatipu Reo'. 

If the student has attended English medium or mainstream schooling, and cannot speak Māori or learn their subjects in the Māori language, they can apply to be placed on the waiting list for Whakatipu Reo. 

When a place becomes vacant in that class, our staff will contact you to schedule an enrolment interview with the Principal.

It's important to realise that enrolling into our transition progamme Whakatipu Reo is a big challenge for students, which is only successful if they have significant whānau support to learn and speak Māori in an intense learning environment.


Ka pōhiri mātou ki ngā tauira hou i te rangi tuatahi o ia wāhanga o te tau. Nō reira, ki te tuku tono mai koe, ā, ka whakatau te Tumuaki kia uru mai hou, ka tīmata koe a te wāhanga e tū ake rā.

We welcome new students on the first day of each term of the school year. Therefore if you apply to enrol and your enrolment is confirmed, you will begin at the start of the following term. (Cohort entry).

Kia kamakama e te whānau, ki te whakarite i tā koutou tono whakauru mō te tau kura 2026, a mua i te mutunga o 2025. Ki te kore, kāore e taea tāu tamaiti te tīmata hei tauira o Te Wharekura o Mauao a te wāhanga tuatahi o 2025. Ka tatari kē ki wāhanga tuarua.

Don't delay in organising your child's enrolment application to begin as a tauira in 2026. You need to complete all stages of enrolment, including interview, before the end of 2025 for them to begin in Term 1 next year. Otherwise they will have to wait until the start of Term 2 to begin with us.
