Education Review · 2025-01-23
"Planning and assessment are well documented and implemented. Mokopuna experience an interactive learning programme that incorporates whānau aspirations. Annual, term and weekly planning guides kaimahi practice and stimulates mokopuna engagement. Planning is responsive to the different age groups, neurodiversity and mokopuna interests. Assessment practices are in place, collecting and recording information linking directly to learning goals is evident."
Well-documented planning, assessment, and responsive learning programme incorporating whānau aspirations.
"Mokopuna are immersed in an environment that caters to their interests. They are happy, content and comfortable to explore play independently and alongside their peers. Mokopuna have opportunities to lead in karakia, waiata, pepeha, mihimihi and learning activities, where they continue to grow in confidence in these areas."
Children happy, content, confident, with strong sense of belonging and active participation opportunities.
"Whānau are active contributors to the kōhanga reo. They are involved in the daily running of the kōhanga reo, helping in the kitchen and supporting the learning programme. They regularly attend whānau hui and contribute to management and decision-making processes. Policies and practices are regularly reviewed to ensure whānau understand processes."
Active whānau involvement in daily operations, decision-making, and regular communication processes.
Not explicitly evaluated in this review.
"At the time of the ERO onsite evaluation there were aspects of health and safety procedures and practices identified as requiring better administration. These have now been rectified."
Previously identified health and safety issues have been corrected; now compliant.
"Programme evaluation is informal. While kaimahi meet regularly to talk about the learning programme, this is not documented. Formalising this process will allow for deliberate conversations and reflective practice that considers the effectiveness of the planned programme and how well it responds to the learning needs of all mokopuna."
Informal programme evaluation without documentation; opportunity to strengthen reflective practice.
