ERO review
Education Review · 2024-11-20
"Mokopuna learn in an environment that enhances their identity and grows their use of te reo Māori. Kaimahi speak only in te reo Māori, they use appropriate strategies such as role modelling, prompting, and praising to encourage and promote language understanding and use. Fun, relevant learning activities engage mokopuna in learning that has a specific focus on building their vocabulary."
Strong te reo Māori immersion with intentional teaching strategies and planned assessment.

"Hui whānau are regular and well attended and whānau make the most of online platforms to increase attendance at these important hui. At hui, whānau receive reports including kaimahi, ringawera and financial reporting to support decision making. Mokopuna needs are at the heart of whānau whakahaere."
Regular communication and engagement evident, though strategic planning processes need strengthening.
