The Living Reo School Scorecard

What you'll discover

After completing the scorecard, your customised report shows you how close your school is to having:

Staff using te reo and kapa haka consistently, in every classroom: as routine as maths and literacy, delivered with confidence, whether you're in the building or not
A te reo programme that runs without your daily involvement: so a sick day, a reliever, or a week of leave doesn't mean gaps or panic
A principal who can share the progress with confidence: pointing to visible, measurable results instead of scrambling to explain what's happening

Without needing to be the expert or feel confident before starting, without becoming the bottleneck for every cultural request, and without te reo staying tokenistic, limited to special occasions instead of daily practice.

WHO THIS IS FOR?

Te ao Māori culture leads who are tired of being the sole person holding the te reo program together and want to build a system that runs without their constant involvement.

Principals and senior leaders who believe in the mahi but struggle to justify the investment when outcomes don't show up on the same scorecards as literacy or maths achievement.

Anyone ready to shift from good intentions and scattered resources to a living te reo culture that's visible, consistent, and embedded across every classroom.

Whether you whakapapa Māori or not - if you're carrying this responsibility and want to lead it with integrity, this scorecard is for you.

Kia ora! Ko Justin Ahau

I'm the founder of Online Kapa Haka. Over the past five years, 130+ schools and 50,000+ tamariki across the country have learned te reo and kapa haka through our mahi.

I believe kaiako are uniquely positioned to build New Zealand's national identity, where our culture is celebrated as a national asset.

This scorecard benchmarks your kura against The Living Reo System; a proven framework that separates schools where te reo and kapa haka are a living practice from those where they stay optional.

You'll see exactly where the gaps are and what needs to be strengthened so te reo and kapa haka become part of daily life, not just good intentions.
