"Personnel matters, resourcing decisions, finances, property and health and safety policies and procedures are well managed. Health and safety policies and procedures are reviewed, monitored and updated by Te Marupainga (Environment, Health, Safety and Wellbeing Portfolio Team). Staff have undertaken extensive training in accordance with current legislation and are fully aware of their responsibilities when dealing with health and safety matters. All safety checks of new kaimahi are carried out and followed by induction. Health and safety of mokopuna are a priority."
Exemplary health and safety systems, compliance, training, and supervision consistently demonstrated
"Leaders work collaboratively to continually improve outcomes for tamariki and their whānau. The Wānanga leadership team consists of Puna Managers, a National Lead, and a Director of Education. Puna managers are strong advocates for promoting emergent leadership within their teams. Kaimahi are encouraged and supported to engage in self-review across several curriculum areas and puna operations. This is viewed as a critical tool to strengthen their capabilities as reflective practitioners with a focus on continuous improvement."
Effective collaborative leadership with clear governance support; self-review processes emerging as improvement tool

Composite score
How this is computedOne or more dimensions missing from ERO data
Where Apakura Te Kākano Puna Reo hasn't been graded on a dimension, the composite uses the national average for that dimension as a placeholder. Each affected axis below is flagged est. When a new ERO review lands, the placeholder is replaced and the score may shift.
The composite is a weighted average of six ERO dimensions, each scored 0–100 (A=90, B=70, C=50, D=25). The "(p47)" style suffix shows where the centre sits within its EQI band (peer percentile, when ≥10 comparable centres in band). See methodology for the formula + limits.
