Education Review · 2024-06-05
"The learning programme is primarily adult directed. As a result, there were many instances of mokopuna not participating in learning that supports their diverse requirements, strengths, and interests"
Programme is adult-directed with limited child-led learning opportunities.
"There have been documented concerns about kaimahi, who have behaved inappropriately with mokopuna. These matters occurred recently. Whānau must ensure there is sufficient rigour around supervision, care, and monitoring to ensure mokopuna are safe"
Documented inappropriate staff behaviour and inadequate supervision create safety concerns.
"Whānau are not clear about their roles and responsibilities. Those whānau members who met with ERO, identified that they were unaware of their responsibilities and only a small number of parents participate or contribute in any way to the kōhanga reo. Whānau hui are not held regularly and there are limited records kept."
Whānau unclear of roles; minimal participation; infrequent meetings; no shared decision-making.
"Whānau and kaimahi acknowledge that te reo Māori requires improving. English is predominantly used during the day. Consequently, mokopuna prefer to communicate in English"
Te reo Māori underused; English dominates; children prefer English communication.
"There are many entries in the current accident register indicating insufficient vigilance and supervision to ensure mokopuna are kept safe during learning"
Multiple accident register entries indicate inadequate supervision and safety monitoring.
"There are no internal evaluation processes in place to monitor the quality of systems."
No internal evaluation systems; inadequate governance and strategic planning structures.
