ERO review
Akarangi · 2024-06-04
Not explicitly evaluated in this review.
"Children experience a curriculum that fosters positive relationships and enhances their emotional and social wellbeing, and sense of belonging. Responsive teacher practices and community connections support children to transition into, within and from the service onto school. Infants and toddlers experience calm and well-paced teacher interactions that support their learning and development."
Effective wellbeing outcomes with strong transitions and responsive teacher interactions supporting belonging.
Not explicitly evaluated in this review.
"Daily bicultural experiences for children include waiata, variable teacher use of te reo Māori, and elements of tikanga Māori practices. Ways of knowing, being and doing for children of Pacific heritages are yet to be reflected in the curriculum or teaching practice."
Developing bicultural practice with some te reo and tikanga, but Pacific cultural inclusion and depth of implementation

Composite score
How this is computedOne or more dimensions missing from ERO data
Where New Shoots Children's Centre - Ramarama 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.
