<h2>Te wiki o te reo Māori is next week, with the theme Kia ora te reo Māori. School News looks at the resources available to teachers to make Māori Language Week a big success.</h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Te wiki o te reo Māori begins next Monday, September 11, with the theme Kia ora te reo Māori. This theme was chosen by Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori/ The Māori Language Commission, to celebrate New Zealand’s indigenous greeting, and because the words ‘Kia Ora’ are an exact description of the intent of the new partnerships for te reo Māori revitalisation between the Crown and Māori under the new Māori Language Act 2016.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Te Taura Whiri has developed a number of resources to help schools to engage with their parents, families, and whānau to support the learning of te reo Māori in both the school and home environment. These are available for digital download from their <a href="http://www.tetaurawhiri.govt.nz" target="_blank">website</a> </p>
