Semester Two Courses
Kia Māori te titiro ki te ao
Our semester two qualifications are all aimed at developing and nurturing our people's sense of identity as Māori and increasing the number of whānau and kaimahi participating in te ao Māori. Gain the confidence to participate in marae, kura or workplace activities through Poupou Karanga and Poupou Tū Whaikōrero. Begin your journey in te reo Māori with Poupou Huia Te Reo 1 (Level 4) or Poupou Huia Te Reo 2 (Level 5) or take a holistic wellbeing journey with Poupou Whakapiki Mauri.
All our Poupou are offered FREE to NZ citizens and permanent residents and are delivered online in 2025. Whānau have the opportunity to deliver Poupou Whakapiki Mauri, Poupou Karanga and Tū Whaikōrero in cohorts from their marae with support from Te Wānanga o Raukawa (email mitu@twor-otaki.ac.nz to learn more).
- NZQA approved, gain a certificate qualification at the same time.
- Develop the confidence to stand at your marae, kura or workplace and participate.
- Poupou certificates are an opportunity to increase the pool of whānau/kaimahi who have the capability to karanga and whaikōrero.
- Learn together, grow together – marae/organisations can use this as an opportunity to meet and practice what they are learning online.
- Uplift and support each other while being supported by our pūkenga and kaimahi.
- Completing a poupou introduces you to our learning environment at Te Wānanga o Raukawa, increasing your confidence for higher level studies and may be the beginning of reconnecting back to te ao Māori.
