ERO review
Education Review · 2024-09-23
"Mokopuna language development is supported through various strategies including te kīpeha, whakatītina, and te reo kākā. Rotarota, kōrero tuku iho and a variety of local waiata are integrated into the learning programme to extend mokopuna understanding of local stories, history, and their tīpuna."
Well-established language strategies and integrated cultural learning, though implementation could be more intentional.
Not explicitly evaluated in this review.
"Whilst whānau hui are held, there are limited records to indicate they are a part of shared decision making. As a result there is insufficient input to show that they contribute to the development of the kōhanga reo."
Limited evidence of family participation in decision-making despite meetings being held; families new to kaupapa.
"Kuia and kaimahi ensure that mokopuna actively participate in formalities such as mihi whakatau and welcoming visitors to their kōhanga reo. Tuākana willingly lead various aspects of the learning programme including karakia, whakatau wairua, waiata and mihimihi. Whanaungatanga is an essential aspect of both kaimahi and whānau practices."
Exemplary te reo Māori immersion, tikanga integration, and whanaungatanga practices embedded throughout.
"Documentation for planning excursions and implementing risk management processes are not completed. Whānau must ensure that the required assessment and management of risk is completed when mokopuna leave the premises on an excursion."
Emergency procedures in place but excursion risk management and Children's Act awareness gaps identified.
