Anei he paku whakamārama mo te akomanga reo maori ki tō mātou kura o Te Maunga I Kitea.

Here at Mountview kura we have total immersion classes ranging from new entrance to year 8. All learning and teaching is facilitated in Te Reo Maori, based around Te Ao Maori and tikanga and is funded as a Level 1.

Special Programmes - Rumaki

Mountview School operates a Māori Medium (rumaki) programme, and this is included as a special programme within this enrolment scheme.

Rumaki Criteria

•         It is ideal that children enrolling as new entrants must have attended Kohanga Reo regularly for at least 2 two years and/or this is a significant adult who is fluent in Te Reo Māori or Māori is the first language spoken in the home.

•         Children must have a significant understanding of spoken Māori commensurate with the level of instruction in the classroom. An oral language test will be administered to ascertain level of understanding.

•         Children enrolling other than as new entrants must have had a bilingual class experience at their previous school and a significant understanding of spoken Māori or have attended Kura Kaupapa and/or Rumaki classes.

•         The school reserves the right to relocate a child into mainstream after enrolment if the level of understanding is such that they are identified as not being able to successfully receive instruction in Te Reo Māori and whose achievement there for is likely to be hampered.

•         Any relocation should be done within two weeks of enrolment
