Pepeha Learning Pack

Years 0–8 · Te Reo Māori / Identity

A three-page identity and belonging pack: Ko Wai Au? (Who am I?), Taku Pepeha, Taku Kōrero (build an introduction that is true to you), and Ōku Tāngata, Ōku Wāhi (my people, my places). Tamariki explore who they are, their people, and their places at their own pace — every pepeha or personal introduction looks different, and learners share only what feels safe and true for them.

Learners are encouraged to share only what feels comfortable — prompts are flexible and there is no single correct pepeha.
