​​​​​​​Ko Te iringa o Kahukura ko te korowai matauraka ō tātou tīpuna.​​​​​​​

(May the cloak of education, bestowed by our ancestors, shelter us at Cashmere High School.)

Rangatiratanga, Whai Huarahi, Hiamo, Aorakitaka
Ko ēnei mātāpono te pūtake o tō mātou kura, ko te whāinga matua kia kaha kitea ēnei mātāpono kei waenganui i ō mātou whānau.​​​​​​​

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Te Reo Māori is offered across Year 9 - 13 levels. Students start by developing core vocabulary and grammar skills then extending into NCEA aromatawai. Throughout their journey students will improve their use of Kōrero (speaking), Whakarongo (listening), Hanga Tuhi (writing), Pānui (reading), Mātakitaki (viewing) and Whakaatu (presenting). Tikanga Māori is also offered in senior levels to allow students to experience a holistic approach towards Te Ao Māori.
