Te Kōhanga Reo o Tama Ki Hikurangi
Te Kōhanga Reo
Waiohau Marae, · Whakatane District
Our analysis of the ERO report identifies strengths in curriculum planning linked to Te Whāriki and bicultural practice grounded in Te Hāhi Ringatū, with children learning te reo through karakia, pānui, himene and waiata koroua. However, significant concerns were noted: whānau participation in decision-making was found unsatisfactory with hui not held regularly or adequately recorded, and emergency evacuation drills are not practised regularly, meaning child safety cannot be guaranteed.

ERO review
Education Review · 2024-02-19
"Planning is purposeful and displayed in the kōhanga reo. It makes links to Te Whāriki ā Te Kōhanga Reo. It includes annual, term, and weekly plans to guide kaimahi and ensure the programme is focussed. Assessment is gathered in a variety of ways that provide useful information to whānau about mokopuna learning success."
Purposeful planning linked to Te Whāriki with multiple assessment methods, though evaluation practices developing.
Not explicitly evaluated in this review.
"whānau participation in decision making is unsatisfactory. Whānau are yet to understand their roles and responsibilities in managing the operations of the kōhanga reo. As a result of this, whānau hui are not held regularly or sufficiently recorded when held."

Composite score
How this is computedOne or more dimensions missing from ERO data
Where Te Kōhanga Reo o Tama Ki Hikurangi 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.
