St Lukes Mokopuna Apii Punanga Reo Inc

Education & Care

10 Kelso Street, Strathmore (South Waikato District) · South Waikato District

This service had an ERO review in August 2023. Our analysis of the ERO report identified strengths in bicultural practice, with Te Tiriti implementation evident and a language-rich environment established. However, significant concerns were noted in health and safety, where multiple non-compliance areas were identified requiring urgent remediation, and in leadership and governance, where systems were assessed as inadequate with inconsistent compliance monitoring.
