Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust centres in Kawerau Central
Te Kōhanga Reo o Tu Whakaara o Rautahi
Te Kōhanga Reo o Tu Whakaara o Rautahi had an Education Review in April 2025. Our analysis of the ERO report found exemplary bicultural practice with te reo Māori and tikanga embedded throughout. Curriculum and learning planning showed sound Te Whāriki links, though programme evaluation needs development. Whānau partnership communication is evident but whānau whakahaere strengthening and clearer distribution of roles and responsibilities are areas for focus.
Te Kōhanga Reo o Tumanako
Te Kōhanga Reo o Tumanako is a kōhanga reo in Kawerau Central with 30 children. Our analysis of the ERO report identifies strengths in bicultural practice and curriculum planning, but indicates significant concerns: the centre received a D grade for health and safety due to non-compliance with safe sleeping regulations, and a C grade for children's wellbeing. ERO noted that urgent remedial action is required.
Te Kōhanga Reo o Ngā Mokohuia o Te Rautahi
Te Kōhanga Reo o Ngā Mokohuia o Te Rautahi is a kōhanga reo in Kawerau Central with 20 children. Our analysis of the June 2024 ERO report found strong curriculum planning aligned to Te Whāriki, but identified significant concerns in whānau partnership (poor communication and unclear roles) and health and safety (unreviewed policies, unsafe staff ratios due to vacancies, and missing staff vetting documentation).
