Education Review · 2024-05-30
"Mokopuna participate in learning that prioritises te reo Māori. Engaging daily activities for learning, and simple and effective language strategies are used by kaimahi to promote mokopuna use of te reo Māori. Language development is well supported and there is a kaiako appointed specifically to strengthen the level and quality of te reo Māori."
Intentional teaching with strong te reo Māori focus and Te Whāriki alignment evident throughout.
"Mokopuna are well supported to learn about their connections to one another. They have formed meaningful and trusting relationships with adults and their peers. Mokopuna learn about their identity, who they are, and where they come from. They are eager to recite their pepeha and perform waiata of Pākōwhai in front of others."
Strong sense of belonging, identity, and relationships demonstrated; well-established routines support transitions.

Composite score
How this is computedOne or more dimensions missing from ERO data
Where Te Kōhanga Reo o Pākōwhai hasn't been graded on a dimension, the composite uses the national average for that dimension as a placeholder. Each affected axis below is flagged est. When a new ERO review lands, the placeholder is replaced and the score may shift.
The composite is a weighted average of six ERO dimensions, each scored 0–100 (A=90, B=70, C=50, D=25). The "(p47)" style suffix shows where the centre sits within its EQI band (peer percentile, when ≥10 comparable centres in band). See methodology for the formula + limits.
