E Pao, Torea!
Māori Innovation and Business
Ko te pae tawhiti, whāia kia tata; ko te pae tata, whakamaua kia tina.
E Pao, Tōrea – Māori Business and Innovation invites senior ākonga to explore entrepreneurship, creativity, and leadership through the lens of te ao Māori. Designed for NCEA Level 2 learners, this unit centres on innovation as a balance between ambition and responsibility, grounded in the whakataukī “Whāia te iti kahurangi, ki te tūohu koe me he maunga teitei.”
Through themes such as enterprise, leadership, problem-solving, and innovation, ākonga strengthen their ability to communicate ideas, express opinions, and propose solutions using increasingly flexible and purposeful language across a range of contexts.
Learning moves beyond supported language into more strategic and persuasive kōrero, where students justify ideas, respond to feedback, and present concepts with clarity and confidence. As fluency develops, ākonga recognise that innovation is most powerful when grounded in tikanga Māori values such as manaakitanga, kaitiakitanga, and whanaungatanga, using te reo Māori as a tool to lead, create, and contribute meaningfully to their communities and future pathways.
