ERO review
Education Review · 2025-10-14
"Planning, assessment, and evaluations are in place. Kaimahi and whānau collaborate to plan a learning programme that reflects a strong commitment to the kaupapa of the kōhanga reo. Termly planning connects mokopuna to the whenua and mātauranga ā iwi, incorporating iwi centric stories, whakapapa, taiao, and seasonal cycles."
Well-established planning and assessment evident; Te Whāriki understanding needs strengthening.
Not explicitly evaluated in this review.
"Whānau are actively involved in kōhanga daily activities. They are a mixture of new and longstanding whānau who work collectively to manage the kōhanga. Whānau are building capability and understanding of their roles. They work in ohu to support and enhance targeted areas of operations."
Strong active involvement; whānau developing capability in centre management.
Not explicitly evaluated in this review.
"Child Protection Policy must be supported by the uptake of appropriate training for whānau and kaimahi. This has not yet occurred. Mokopuna safety can be compromised. Emergency drills and a regular schedule for fire, earthquake, and lockdown must be established."
Child protection training and emergency procedures not established; safety policies incomplete.
"The strategic direction of Te Ara Tūāpae is supported by an action plan to guide outcomes. These drive the vision of the whānau to achieve the identified objectives under the four pou: whakamana, kotahitanga, whanaungatanga and ngā hononga. Kaimahi and whānau are supported to enrol in kōhanga tohu and local wānanga to develop professional learning and te reo Māori growth."
Clear strategic direction and professional learning support; policy review cycle needs development.
