The 28th Māori Battalion and the New Zealand curriculum
In supporting schools in implementing the New Zealand Curriculum, Effective Pedagogy in Social Sciences/Tikanga a Iwi Best Evidence Synthesis Iteration identifies four key mechanisms that are most likely to support student learning in the social sciences:
- Connection (Make connections to students' lives)
- Alignment (Align experiences to important outcomes)
- Community (Build and sustain a learning community)
- Interest (Design experiences that interest students).
These mechanisms reflect some of the important principles associated with the curriculum. A study of the Māori Battalion provides a context with which to explore these including:
1. The Treaty of Waitangi and the bicultural foundations of Aotearoa New Zealand.
The Treaty is a broad statement of principles on which the British and Māori made a political compact to found a nation state and build a government. Article 3 in particular spoke of ‘the rights and privileges of British subjects' - in effect the concept of citizenship. Leaders such as Āpirana Ngata stressed that Māori participation in the Second World War was central to Māori citizenship of Aotearoa New Zealand.
2. Valuing the cultural diversity, histories and traditions of all New Zealanders.
The Māori Battalion is an important part of New Zealand history but is of even greater significance to many whānau, hapū and iwi. Those Māori who served drew on a warrior tradition, while the organisation and conduct of the Battalion also reflected Māori history and traditions.
3. Ensuring that the curriculum has meaning for students by connecting with their wider lives and by engaging the support of their families, whānau, and communities.
The Second World War was a significant event in the lives of many Māori families. Māori students in your class may have seen photos in their wharenui or on the mantelpiece at home of relatives who served overseas. The experiences of Māori Battalion soldiers present an opportunity for students to draw on the histories of their whānau, hapū and iwi in their learning.
4. The New Zealand curriculum is an inclusive one. It ensures among other things that students' identities and languages are recognised and affirmed and that their learning needs are addressed.
The Māori Battalion provides an opportunity to explore the contribution of Māori to wider New Zealand life. It is a contribution that Māori can feel proud of. It is characterised by heroism and great sacrifice. The values and language that underpinned the Battalion were uniquely Māori.

The māori academy is all about raising the profile of te reo māori. This year so far I've had about 120 students through the academy. We've covered all of the achievement objectives in Level 1 and most in Level 2. This has been across year levels 3-6.
