Education Review · 2025-04-28
"Planning and assessment practices provide clear guidelines for programme implementation. Daily planning is thematic and records learning that is interesting, engaging and intended to promote positive interactions among mokopuna. Links to Te Whāriki are clearly outlined."
Sound planning and assessment with clear Te Whāriki links; some development needed in programme evaluation.
Not explicitly evaluated in this review.
"Assessment practice contains components that identify the learning and development of individual mokopuna. These are available for whānau to read and provide feedback. Kaimahi report to whānau about the learning programme at hui whānau."
Communication evident but whānau whakahaere requires strengthening; roles and responsibilities need clearer distribution
"Kaimahi promote the use of te reo Māori through a range of relevant and appropriate strategies such as prompts, questions, repetition and instructions. These are well supported through waiata, waiata koroua, mōteatea, karakia, mihimihi and kōrero tuku iho. The approaches are used to build mokopuna confidence and increase vocabulary."
Exemplary te reo Māori and tikanga practices embedded throughout; strong cultural foundation.
