ERO review
Education Review · 2025-10-07
"Te reo Māori is central to planning and assessment practices. Planning is clear and responsive to mokopuna interests. Plans are well-structured and identify kaupapa whānui and kaupapa whāiti that support te reo Māori development."
Strong te reo focus and planning; assessment framework developing but formal programme evaluation lacking.
"The presence of tuākana and kuia enhances the learning atmosphere, promoting leadership, calmness, and connection. These practices affirm mokopuna identity and create a sense of belonging, resulting in high engagement, joyful learning, and the consistent demonstration of values like whanaungatanga and manaakitanga."
Strong sense of belonging, identity affirmation, and joyful learning evident; emotional safety concerns noted.
Not explicitly evaluated in this review.
"Mokopuna learn in an environment where te reo Māori is prioritised and embedded in daily routines. This is evident through their confident use of language and enthusiastic participation in activities such as waiata, karakia, and pānui pukapuka."
Te reo Māori embedded in daily practice; mokopuna emerging as confident speakers; practices affirm identity.
"Whānau and kaimahi understanding and practice related to the Child Protection Policy is limited. It is urgent that further training be arranged to ensure kaimahi can meet their obligations outlined in the policy. Mokopuna safety could be at risk."
Child protection policy compliance limited; urgent training required; staff appraisals not completed.
