204 Tuahiwi Road R D 1, Tuahiwi · Waimakariri District

Tuahiwi Community Preschool is an education and care service with a current roll of 55 children. Our analysis of the ERO report shows the service demonstrates intentional curriculum approaches aligned with Te Whāriki (grade B), though assessment documentation requires refinement. Bicultural practice is developing, with te reo and tikanga present in routines, but localised curriculum and mana whenua reconnection remain areas for further development (grade C).
