ERO review
Education Review · 2024-05-21
"Kaimahi skilfully integrate local waiata and kōrero tawhito for mokopuna to learn about significant iwi landmarks and stories of tīpuna who have shaped their tribal histories."
Strong intentional teaching of culturally-grounded content; assessment practices need development.
"Currently, mokopuna safety could be compromised."
Learning environment nurtures mana and wairua, but safety concerns identified requiring urgent attention.
"Ahakoa e whakatakoto ana ngā kaimahi i tēnei wā i ngā mōhiohio e pā ana ki ngā akoranga a ngā mokopuna, kāhore anō rātou kia tūhura i ngā huarahi ki te whakamahi i aua taipitopito kōrero, hei whakatairanga ake i te hōtaka akoranga me te whakatakoto haere i ā rātou pūrongo ki te whānau."
Learning information collected but not yet used effectively to inform family reporting and programme enhancement.
"Mokopuna thrive in an environment that embraces the values of tikanga Māori. Under the guidance of kaimahi, mokopuna actively lead and participate in Te Hāhi Ringatū karakia, mihimihi, pānui, and waiata koroua."
Exemplary implementation of te reo Māori, tikanga, and culturally-responsive learning environments throughout.
Not explicitly evaluated in this review.
"Established whānau whakahaere processes contributed to the overall learning and care of mokopuna."
Sound management systems and whanaungatanga values underpin operations; assessment evaluation processes need strengtheni

How this is computedOne or more dimensions missing from ERO data
Where Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Kaha Nui A Tiki 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.
