ERO review
Education Review · 2024-04-22
"Te reo Māori is the only language spoken across the learning programme. Kaimahi draw on a range of appropriate strategies such as waiata, prompts, repetition, rotarota and instruction to encourage language development among mokopuna. Language learning is a collective effort by everyone."
Strong te reo Māori immersion with intentional, varied teaching strategies embedded throughout programme.

"The ERO October 2023 evaluation of Mana Whakahaere found whanaungatanga supported and reflected how the whānau managed the operations of the kōhanga. Established whānau whakahaere processes contributed to the overall learning and care of mokopuna."
Whānau actively manage operations; established processes support learning and care outcomes.
"Mokopuna are encouraged and supported to participate in the formal parts of the learning programme which includes whakatau, karakia, himene and mihimihi. Through these experiences, mokopuna actively engage in ngā tikanga and kawa practices."
Full te reo Māori immersion kōhanga with embedded tikanga, kawa, and cultural practices throughout.
Not explicitly evaluated in this review.
"Kaimahi appraisals are presently incomplete. Whānau must ensure that the kaimahi appraisal process is completed to ensure an appropriate professional learning programme is identified to support capability building."
Staff appraisals incomplete; professional learning programme development needed as next step.
