Kia ora, nau mai haere mai

Whakairo recognises unique Māori carving that has developed over time.

The Whakairo unit standards explore the interpretations and understandings of whakapapa, te reo, symbolism, concepts, and representation within a Whakairo context.

The roles and responsibilities of kaiwhakairo (whakairo practitioner) are examined to ensure the mana me ngā tikanga whakairo are kept.

These resources are to help teachers and tutors to assess ākonga against the relevant Whakairo unit standards listed in the Directory of Assessment and Skill Standards (DASS).

Assessors can  use the assessment support material for the Whakairo unit standards to develop tasks and assessment schedules.

We would like to acknowledge the efforts of everyone who worked to create this practical resource.
