Kura Reo Kāi Tahu is a week long immersion wānaka with the focus of developing an individual’s depth, quality and fluency of te reo Māori while also learning Kāi Tahu history. From kōrero ōkawa (formal language), to kōrero ōpaki (informal), kīwaha (idioms) to wetewete reo (grammar), make sure you bring all of your papakupu to Kura Reo Kāi Tahu. The teachers at Kura Reo Kāi Tahu are our exponents of te reo Māori who have a passion for revitalising te reo Māori and are often our KMK champions.

Kura Reo Kāi Tahu is a whānau friendly event, but please note, your children must be able to speak te reo Māori in order to attend. Please be aware, however, that if numbers fill up quickly, the Kura Reo Kāi Tahu is for Kāi Tahu whakapapa registered members first. Kura Reo Kāi Tahu is held in January every year.
