Kei te kimi mātou i tētahi kaiako mō te reo Māori. Ka whakaako ia i ngā karaehe mai i te tau tuaiwa ki te tau tekau mā toru.
We are seeking a Te Reo Māori teacher with the ability to teach te reo Māori from Year 9 to NCEA Level 3. You will be joining a kura that embraces Mātauranga Māori and actively upholds the principles of Te Tiriti o Waitangi.
This is a full time, permanent position with a negotiable start date, depending on the availability of the successful applicant. The role includes a generous remuneration package to acknowledge the expertise required and the importance of this position within our kura. This package also reflects our deep and ongoing commitment to honouring Te Tiriti o Waitangi and promoting te reo Māori me ōna tikanga as a valued and visible part of our school culture.
You will work alongside Māori staff to strengthen tikanga Māori and te reo across the school. We also have a dedicated kapa haka tutor, so teaching kapa haka is not a requirement, although experience in this area would be an advantage.
