ERO review
Education Review · 2025-06-24
"Mokopuna learn in an environment where te reo Māori is a priority. Kaimahi role-model te reo Māori through karakia, waiata, pūrākau, pepeha, and mihimihi. They provide opportunities for mokopuna to participate in whakawhiti kōrero and whakatau processes including waiata tautoko and harirū."
Strong te reo Māori environment and learning experiences, but assessment/evaluation processes need strengthening.
"Mokopuna are immersed in a variety of learning experiences that fosters self-confidence. Kaimahi provide a fun and creative learning environment for mokopuna. They offer a wide variety of engaging, learning activities that are stimulating and cater to mokopuna interests."
Positive learning environment with strong engagement, though emergency procedures need improvement.
"Whānau are not clear about their roles and responsibilities in the review process particularly around the tūtohinga, policies, and procedures related to the operations of the kōhanga reo."
Regular hui occur and whānau participate in decision-making, but clarity needed on roles in review processes.
Not explicitly evaluated in this review.
"Emergency evacuation drills are not well planned. There is no evidence to show earthquake and lockdown drills are regularly practiced. Mokopuna safety is compromised."
Critical non-compliance: emergency drills not regularly practiced, compromising child safety.
