Kaiako Tuakana (Years 6–8)

Kia Hiwa rā, kia hiwa rā!

He karanga tēnei ki ngā kaiako e ngākau nui ana ki te reo Māori, ki te mātauranga Māori, ā, ki te whakatipu i ngā rangatira mō āpōpō.

Kei te rapu Te Pā Wānanga o Ōmaka Marae i tētahi Senior Akomanga Kaiako hihiri, auaha, ngākau nui hoki ki te ārahi i tō mātou akomanga tuakana, Years 6–8. Mēnā e hiahia ana koe ki tētahi tūranga e taea ai e koe te whakaaweawe i te anamata, te āwhina hoki ki te hanga i tētahi kura motuhake, tēnei pea te whai wāhitanga māu.

This is more than a teaching role. It is an opportunity to help shape a growing Māori-medium kura, contribute to its future direction, and inspire the next generation of rangatahi in a supportive, innovative, and values-driven environment.

As part of our kura whānau, you will receive:

• 1 Management Unit
• Māori Immersion Teaching Allowance (MITA)
• extensive PLD, including Rangaranga Reo ā Tā, Poutama Pāngarau, Aromatawai and Te Marautanga o Aotearoa
• mentoring, coaching and leadership development
• support from a collaborative leadership team and committed Board
• small class sizes and strong relationships with ākonga and whānau
• opportunities to influence curriculum design and kura development
• a unique marae-based environment grounded in culture, identity and excellence.

We are looking for a registered kaiako who is passionate about Māori-medium education, builds strong relationships, demonstrates kaupapa Māori practice, and can inspire Years 6–8 ākonga to achieve success as Māori.

Whether you are an experienced Māori-medium kaiako or an emerging leader ready for your next challenge, we would love to hear from you.

Nau mai, haere mai — be part of something different, where your leadership matters, your growth is supported, and together we are shaping the future of Māori education.
