Ngā Manu Kōrero Speech Competitions 2023

Tuesday 19 – Thursday 21 September 2023 at the Edgar Centre, 116 Portsmouth Drive, Andersons Bay, Dunedin.

Tēnei te ruru e koukou mai nei

Kīhai i māhitihiti

Kīhai i mārakaraka

E te ata o tūmahina

E te manako o Hiwa

Ko te awa o Ōtākou tēnei e tāwhiri nei

Ko Pukekura tēnei e karaka atu nei ki a koutou.

 

Nau mai, tauti mai ki tēnei tau manu, ki tēnei pae manu o tātau

E roko ai te motu i te rōreka o tō reo, i te atamai o ō whakaaro.

 

Kai kā manu korokī, kai kā manu kōrihi, kai kā manu kōrero o te motu

Piki mai, kake mai, tauti mai rā.

Ngā manaakitanga o te runga rawa,

National Ngā Manu Kōrero Committee

 

 

Ngā Manu Kōrero is regarded as the most significant event on the Māori education calendar for nurturing the oratory skills and providing the stage for young people to express their views and to lay down their challenges to an admiring and critical audience of peers, parents, whānau and judges.

The speech contests are intended to encourage the development of skills and confidence of Māori students in spoken English and te reo Māori. All secondary schools are invited to participate in this wonderful event, noting that the Māori section is open to all students as part of a strategy to support everyone to learn and to speak in te reo Māori.

Regions will be responsible for high-quality filming of contestants in order to have material to judge should Nature intervene and necessitate an online competition.
