ERO review
Education Review · 2023-09-19
"Kaimahi use opportunities during the day to revise and embed language to build mokopuna vocabulary."
Deliberate te reo Māori teaching evident; programme evaluation informal and underdeveloped.
"Mokopuna are happy, settled and enjoy the company of their peers."
Strong positive relationships, warm environment, consistent routines support child wellbeing.
"The ERO June 2023 evaluation of Mana Whakahaere practices found the values of whanaungatanga supported and reflected how the whānau managed the operations of the kōhanga."
Whanaungatanga values embedded in operations; communication mechanisms not explicitly detailed.
"Kaimahi ensure mokopuna are immersed in a te reo Māori environment. They are deliberate in their use of rotarota, waiata and Te Pae Tuku Korero."
Strong te reo Māori immersion, deliberate tikanga integration, consistent cultural embedding.
"Matters raised in the previous report relating to updated and ratified health and safety policies and procedures, kaimahi employment documentation, and earthquake evacuations were verified during the onsite visit."
Previous health/safety concerns addressed and verified; compliant with licensing requirements.
"Programme evaluation is informal. It is difficult to gauge how the learning programme is monitored for its effectiveness. While kaimahi talk about what is working, or not working, there is no documentation of these conversations."
Lack of formal programme evaluation and documentation limits strategic direction for improvement.
