Introduction
“Ka whakanuia e te kaupapa o Te Kōhanga Reo te pū mātauranga o te whānau me ngā taumata o te katoa. Nō reira, e tika ana kia haere tonu ngā kaupapa whakangungu hei whakapakari i te whānau. Mā te pakari o te mahi ohu whānau i roto i Te Kōhanga Reo e hiihii ai ngā hua whakahirahira mō te mokopuna.”
I takea mai i ngā tukutuku hai tohu i ngā whetū, ngā hīkoinga me ngā horanuku, ko te hōtaka Ngā Tukutuku Here, he maha ōna kaupapa e tautokohia ana e Te Tari Matua o Te Kōhanga Reo e whakatinana ana i ngā tikanga Māori matua pēnei i te whakapapa, te manaakitanga, te wairuatanga, te kaitiakitanga, me te rangatiratanga. He mea nui ēnei tikanga ki a ‘Ko tā Te Kōhanga Reo Rehu’, te ara rautaki e toro atu ana ki tua o te paerangi i roto i ngā mātāpono e toru kua whakatakotoria i roto i Te Ara Tūāpae, tā mātau rautaki:
Ko te Whakamana i te Reo me ngā Tikanga
Ko te Whakamana i te Whānau me ngā Mokopuna
Ko te Whakamana i te Kaupapa
Ka aro nui ki te ahurea me te motuhake o Te Kōhanga Reo, ko ngā momo wānanga me ngā kaupapa e hipokina ana i raro i a Ngā Tukutuku Here puta noa i te motu, ki reira tūtaki ai te ariā ki te mahi. E tautoko ana te kaupapa i ngā hapori o ngā whānau mā roto mai i ngā Purapura ā-Rohe o Te Kōhanga Reo kia tūhonohono atu ai ki te hātepe o te ako, o te tohatoha, o te whakamāori i te reo Māori, me te whakamana i ngā whānau ki te whakatutuki i ō rātau moemoeā me ō rātau wawata.
Mō ētahi atu kōrero mō ā mātau kaupapa tohu.
Derived from the art of crafting tukutuku panels that are representative of stars, journeys, and landscapes, the Ngā Tukutuku Here programme is made up of a range of initiatives supported by Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust that embody key Māori values such as whakapapa, manaakitanga, wairuatanga, kaitiakitanga and rangatiratanga. These values are integral to ‘Ko tā te Kōhanga Reo Rehu’, the strategic pathway that extends beyond the horizon inherent in the three principles laid out in Te Ara Tūāpae, our Strategy:
Ko te Whakamana i te Reo me ngā Tikanga
Ko te Whakamana i te Whānau me ngā Mokopuna
Ko te Whakamana i te Kaupapa
Culturally responsive and specific to Kōhanga Reo, the diverse wānanga and Kaupapa covered under Ngā Tukutuku Here throughout the country, is where theory meets practice. The programme supports communities of whānau through Kōhanga Reo localised purapura to be engaged in the process of learning, sharing, normalising Te Reo Māori, and enabling whānau to reach their dreams and aspirations.

“Pūremutia ō tātou wairua, tūhonohonotia ko ngā tikanga Tirohia Te Ataarangi tāpirihia mai ki Te Kōhanga E kapo nei te ata o ngā raukura”
Ko te tūāpapa o te whare kōhanga, ko te reo, me ōna tikanga Māori. Ko ngā amoamo o te whare, e puea mai i tā Te Kōhanga Reo rehu, ko te reo kia tika, ko te reo kia rere, ko te reo kia Māori. Kua rapa atu i ngā maihi i te tikanga whakaako o Te Ara Wahangu. He ūhinga nā te korowai, kua poupoua ngā pou e wha. Ko te reo Māori te pou tuatahi. Ko te whānau te pou tuarua. Ko te tū tika, tū pono te pou tuatoru. Ko te whaioranga te pou tuawha. Kua tomo mai Te Ataarangi ki te āhurutanga o tō tātau whare. Mā te whanau te ihi, te wehi, te wana, me te mana e mau ana ki te tāhūhū o tō tātau whare. Ko tā Te Ataarangi hai hāpai i te ihi, me te wehi, te wana, me te mana o te mokopuna. Koia te mea nui, kia marotiritiri ai te whakaaro, kia whenua haumako ki roto i te poho o te whānau, kia kore koe e ngaro, taku reo rangatira.
Ko Te Ataarangi tētahi kaupapa nui whakaharahara kua kōkirihia te whakarauoratanga o te reo Māori ki roto o Aotearoa i ngā tau whā tekau mā whā kua pahure. He mea whakawhanake e Kāterina Te Heikōkō Mataira rāua ko Ngoingoi Pewhairangi, kua tautokona e Te Ataarangi te tini me te mano tāngata ki te kōrero Māori i roto i ngā kāinga me ngā hapori.
Kai te mahi tahi tonu Te Tari Matua o Te Kōhanga Reo me Te Ataarangi mō ētahi kaupapa whakaora reo matua, e aro ana ki ō mātau pou rautaki.
Ko te tūāpapa o te whare kōhanga, ko te reo, me ōna tikanga Māori. Ko ngā amoamo o te whare, e puea mai i tā Te Kōhanga Reo rehu, ko te reo kia tika, ko te reo kia rere, ko te reo kia Māori.

Koia te mea nui, kia marotiritiri ai te whakaaro, kia whenua haumako ki roto i te poho o te whānau, kia kore koe e ngaro, taku reo rangatira.
Te Ataarangi has been a major force in the language revitalisation movement in Aotearoa New Zealand for the last 44 years. Developed by Kāterina Te Heikōkō Mataira and Ngoingoi Pewhairangi, Te Ataarangi has supported thousands of people to speak Māori in homes and communities.
Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust continues to partner with Te Ataarangi Trust on several key language revitalisation initiatives, which focus on our strategic pou.
Te Ata Raukura
Ko Te Ata Raukura tētahi hōtaka e toru tekau mā toru wiki te roa e tautoko ana i ngā wawata o ngā whānau kia whakamāori i te reo Māori i roto i tētahi hapori Kōhanga Reo e whai wāhi atu ai ngā mokopuna, kaimahi, kaumātua, mātua, whānau whānui me te Purapura whānui.
Ko ngā tikanga tuku ko ngā mahi rākau, horopaki, whakaari, kēmu me ētahi āhuatanga e tītike ai te āheinga o Te Kōhanga Reo kia pupuri i tētahi taiao rumaki ki roto i Te Kōhanga Reo.

Kura Reo
Kua ara ake anō ngā Kura Reo Māori e aro nui ana kia whakawhanake i te kounga me te matatau o te reo Māori o te whānau, me te whakaatu i te hiranga o te oranga tonutanga o te reo ka tukuna e tētahi whakatipuranga ki tētahi atu whakatipuranga, tae noa ki te:
Kōrero ōkawa.
Kōrero ōpaki.
Kīwaha.
Wetewete reo.
E mahi tahi tonu ana ki a Te Ataarangi me ngā whakatutukinga o Te Ata Raukura, e whāia ana e mātau tētahi huarahi hou e whai ana kia whakapakari i te reo Māori i roto i ngā raupapa e toru o ngā Kura Reo ā-Motu.
“Ko te reo kia tika, ko te reo kia rere, ko te reo kia Māori”
Te Ata Raukura 33-week programme supports whānau aspirations for normalising te reo Māori within a Kōhanga Reo community that includes mokopuna, kaimahi, kaumātua, matua, whānau whānui and wider purapura.
Methods of delivery include mahi rākau, horopaki, whakaari, games and techniques that will enhance Kōhanga Reo ability to maintain an immersion environment in Kōhanga Reo.
For more detail, contact the local Tari ā-Rohe | District Office. See our Whakapā Mai | Contact Us page.
There has been a resurgence of Kura Reo or Māori immersion settings that are focused on developing whānau quality and fluency in te reo Māori and reflect the importance of language continuity being passed from generation to generation, including:
Korero ōkawa (formal language)
Korero ōpaki (informal)
Kīwaha (idioms)
Wetewete reo (grammar).
Building on our relationship with Te Ataarangi and the achievements of Te Ata Raukura, we are embarking on a refreshed journey aimed at further fortifying te reo Māori through a series of three annually hosted National Kura Reo (intensive Te Reo Māori learning gatherings).
“Ko te reo kia tika, ko te reo kia rere, ko te reo kia Māori”

Kai te mahi tahi tonu Te Tari Matua me te Tāhuhu o te Mātauranga mō te hoahoa me te kawe i ngā kaupapa e whai ana kia whakapakari i te “Mauri Tū – Tūtohu, Mauri Ohooho – Aroā, Mauri Tau – Māramatanga me te Mauri Ora – Poipoi”, e mahi tonu ana i te ahunga whakamua me ngā akoranga i akohia i te wā o te whakatinanatanga o te kaupapa whakatairanga tautoko ako, a Tamaariki.
Hai tēnei ataata, ka whakamārama mai a Renata Kururangi i te whakapapa o te kaupapa o Tamaariki.
The Trust is continuing to collaborate with the Ministry of Education on the design and delivery of initiatives that aim to strengthen “Mauri Tū – Indicators, Mauri Ohohoho – Awareness, Mauri Tau – Understanding and Mauri Ora – Nurture”, building on progress made and lessons learned during the implementation of the learning support awareness campaign, Tamaariki.
In this video Renata Kururangi explains the genesis of the Kaupapa Tamaariki.
Hai tēnei ataata, ka kōrero a Whaea Lorrain Hale, Kaiako o Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Teko mō ngā tamaariki kai tōna Kōhanga Reo.
In this video Whaea Lorrain Hale Kaiako of Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Teko talks about the tāmaariki in her Kōhanga Reo.
I te tīmatanga o Tamaariki i whakawhanakehia ētahi rauemi motuhake mō Te Kōhanga Reo e whakanui ana i ngā mana nui o ā tātau tamariki motuhake me ō rātau āheinga ahurea. Ko tēnei wāhanga e whai ake nei, a Hohoutia ko Tamaariki, ko te haerenga auroa me ngā kōrerorero ki ō tātau Kōhanga Reo, tae atu ki te wetewete i ngā rauemi i hangā pū mō Te Kōhanga Reo.
The initial Tamaariki mahi led to the development of a series of unique resources for Kōhanga Reo that recognise and celebrate the super-powers of our neuro-diverse mokopuna and their unique abilities. This next phase, Hohoutia ko Tamaariki, is about continuing the journey and conversations with our Kōhanga Reo, including unpacking the resources that were developed specifically for Kōhanga Reo.
“E tipu e moko, kia āwhiorangi tō haere. Āwhio ake, āwhio iho, kia paerangi ai tō piki, tō heke, kia eke ki to tamaarikitanga ”
