"Te reo and tikanga Māori are naturally included in the daily programme. Language, culture and identity is acknowledged by deliberate acts of teaching. Professional learning and development have supported teachers to have an understanding of te ao Māori across the curriculum. The authentic and respectful use of te reo, waiata and tikanga in everyday practice nurtures the wairua and mana of Māori tamariki. Children are developing confidence and competence within a bicultural context."
Te reo and tikanga naturally embedded; authentic teaching across curriculum supports Māori children.

Composite score
How this is computedOne or more dimensions missing from ERO data
Where New Shoots Childrens Centre (Papamoa) 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.
