Commentary:
 Most students were able to identify at least two or more sources of information. Half of the students identified teacher, family and friends as a source of information. This may indicate the students awareness of the paucity of material available from public sources in te reo Mäori. Over half of the students did not describe the process they would use in finding information from the sources identified.
