Education Review · 2025-07-22
"Kaimahi collaborate to design and deliver a purposeful learning programme aligned with Te Whāriki ā Te Kōhanga Reo. Planning includes clear outcomes and carefully selected resources to support rich, engaging experiences. Activities are designed to spark curiosity, challenge thinking, and extend learning. Assessment is structured through mātai tamaiti and kōnae mokopuna, tracking progress that align with the mahere ako. Ongoing evaluation through hui whānau and hui kaimahi ensures the programme stays relevant, effective, and focused on improved, positive outcomes for mokopuna."
Strong intentional teaching, purposeful planning, rigorous assessment aligned with Te Whāriki.
"Mokopuna flourish in a learning environment that is firmly grounded in tikanga Māori. Their identity and belonging are intentionally nurtured through daily lived experiences. Regular participation in pōwhiri and cultural practices on their marae is guided by kuia, koroua, whānau, kaimahi, and Te Kura o Kutarere. These provide authentic intergenerational learning opportunities for mokopuna."
Children's belonging, identity, and emotional safety intentionally nurtured through cultural practices.
