PARENT INFORMATION
Parent InformationOmanaia School is a state school, years 0-8 that offers Level 2 Maori immersion - 51-80% of the teacher instruction time is through the medium of Maori. Omanaia school adheres to the framework of the New Zealand National Curriculum with a specific emphasis on Te Marautanga o Aotearoa. We are currently working on developing a Marau-a-kura giving special attention to our two local Hapu of Omanaia, Ngati Kaharau and Ngati Hau. Students are taught to value their important roles as members of these hapu and for those students who are not from Omanaia they are made aware of the mana whenua status of these hapu in Omanaia, and encouraged to celebrate the uniqueness of their own hapu, and the wider Hokianga and Ngapuhi Nui Tonu. Te Reo Maori, tikanga me te mita o Ngapuhi plays an important part in the teaching and learning in classes, however students are taught kupu and kiwaha from other iwi to help them gain an understanding and respect for reo-a-iwi.
