Manaaki Marae

Kia ora, nau mai haere mai

Manaaki Marae unit standards focus on learners understanding the depth and breadth of manaakitanga and how it links Māori well-being to the marae and the mana of its people.

Manaaki is an ethic of thoughtfulness, generosity and caring for others. Manaaki Marae is characterised through acts of hospitality. It demands excellence of the hosts to uphold their mana, the mana of all guests, and of the marae itself.

Manaaki Marae is categorised in two kaupapa, manaaki marae – Takatu Kai and Whāngai Manuhiri.

These resources are to help teachers, lecturers and assessors assess ākonga against the relevant Manaaki Marae unit standards listed on the Directory of Assessment and Skill Standards (DASS).

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

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