ERO review
Education Review · 2025-10-28
"Mokopuna learning can be further enhanced through a more formalised and focussed approach to programme evaluation."
Learning effectively implemented but programme evaluation needs strengthening and more systematic documentation.
"Kaimahi and whānau model values of manaaki, tiaki, and aroha creating a safe and inclusive space where mokopuna feel mauri tau."
Strong emotional safety and belonging established; children feel secure in inclusive environment.
"Kaimahi collaborate closely with whānau to design learning that reflects the values and traditions of the iwi, integrating them into planning, mokopuna assessment, and everyday practice."
Whānau actively engaged in curriculum design; collaborative partnerships embedded in daily practice.
"Te reo Māori flows fluidly throughout the kōhanga reo, and kaiako use a range of strategies to support mokopuna understanding and use of the mita specific to their iwi."
Te reo and tikanga consistently honoured; iwi-specific language and traditions woven throughout all learning.
"While some drills are conducted, their regularity needs improvement. It is important that whānau establish a consistent schedule and clear processes for conducting and evaluating emergency drills, including fire, earthquake, and tsunami."
Most policies compliant but emergency drill frequency and documentation require improvement for full compliance.
"Strategic and annual planning align closely with the Ngā Paerangi strategy, ensuring that values and long-term goals are actioned through clearly defined responsibilities and timelines."
Strategic direction clear and aligned with iwi strategy; operational management well-established.
