ERO review
Education Review · 2024-05-07
"Kaimahi collaboratively develop the annual, term, week and daily planning experiences. Mokopuna needs and interests are considered."
Planning is established and collaborative, but assessment/evaluation in early stages.
"Mokopuna are immersed in whanaungatanga and aroha. Relationships between mokopuna and kaimahi are positive and affirming."
Strong relationships and emotional support; transitions well-managed through established routines.
"Whānau engage in the learning programme ensuring mokopuna are settled and happy throughout the day."
Whānau actively engaged in programme; governance improving; communication established.
"Mokopuna are immersed in an environment rich in te reo Māori and tikanga Māori specific to Tainui. Aspects of Tainui tikanga are role modelled for mokopuna. This includes pao, waiata, mōteatea and karakia Paimārire."
Rich immersion in te reo Māori and Tainui tikanga; consistent cultural leadership and role-modelling.
"There are some health and safety documentation that requires urgent attention. These include monitoring and recording sleeping mokopuna at timed intervals, ensuring that parents sign mokopuna records for accidents and incidents, the recording of the daily hazards' checks, and the documentation of risk assessment for kōhanga reo haerenga."
Multiple compliance breaches: sleep monitoring, incident records, hazard checks, excursion risk assessment incomplete.
"Internal evaluation requires immediate action. Currently, important operations and timelines are not well monitored or met by key personnel."
Systems improving but internal evaluation incomplete; appraisal processes not yet implemented.
