"A teacher who is fluent in te reo Māori is contributing to building local knowledge and understanding of te ao Māori in the kindergarten. There are many examples of the natural integration of te reo and tikanga Māori, especially at mat times. Visual displays and whānaungatanga practices support a sense of inclusion."

Composite score
How this is computedOne or more dimensions missing from ERO data
Where Hukanui Kindergarten 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.
