ERO review
Education Review · 2023-10-11
"Mokopuna learn in an environment where te reo Māori is prioritised. Kaimahi use appropriate language strategies to support mokopuna language development. Karakia, mihimihi and waiata are ways where mokopuna learn language structures and meaning during the formal part of the programme."
Strong te reo Māori immersion with intentional language strategies; assessment systems in place.
Not explicitly evaluated in this review.

Whānau whakahaere governance systems need strengthening; internal evaluation processes developing.
Not explicitly evaluated in this review.
