View on mapKua mahi ngātahi Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga, ngā whānau, ngā kaiārahi, me ngā hapori ki te whakatakoto i ngā tirohanga aromātai e whai wāhi nui ai ki te hāpai i ngā whakapaitanga, ki te tautuhi i te ahu whakamua, ā, ki te whakapakari ake hoki i te āheinga ki te aromātai.
E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o te Reo Irirangi ki Te Kaihau-ā-Kupe, e pā tata ana ki te tahamoana o Whanganui. I tapaina te ingoa o te kōhanga reo hei whakanui i te whakahirahiratanga ki te whakapuaki tahi i te reo Māori. He tino hononga tō te whānau ki tō rātou hapori me te hāhi Rātana.
“Kotahi te kōhao o te ngira e kuhuna ai te miro mā, te miro pango, me te miro whero, i muri ka mau ki te aroha.”
Ka kitea ki ngā mokopuna tō rātou māramatanga ki ō rātou tuakiri me ō rātou hononga.
E ako ana ngā mokopuna ki tētahi taiao e poipoi ana i ō rātou tuakiri. Ka hāpaitia tā rātou whai wāhi atu ki ngā pōhiri me ngā whakatau. Ka ārahi ngā kaumātua, ā, ka whakatauira hoki rātou i ngā tikanga me ngā kawa. E rongo ana ngā mokopuna i te whakamahinga tūturu nei o te reo Māori i a rātou e whakarongo ana ki ngā kaumātua e whaikōrero ana. He whai wāhitanga mō ngā tuākana ki te ārahi i ētahi wāhanga o te hōtaka ōkawa. Ka whakamahi ngā kaimahi i ngā rautaki e tika ana, hei hāpai i ngā mokopuna ki te taki i ngā pepeha mā te waiata. Ka ako ngā mokopuna i ngā whakamoemiti me ngā hīmene o te hāhi Rātana. Ka whakatauira ngā kaimahi i ngā uara o te aroha, te manaaki, me te tiaki i roto i te hōtaka akoranga. Ka āta whakarite rātou i te whai wāhi mai o te manaaki me te tautāwhi ki ngā taunekeneke katoa. E ako ana ngā mokopuna i ō rātou tuakiri me ō rātou tūrangawaewae.
Kua whakatakotohia e ngā kaimahi ngā tukanga mō te whakamahere hōtaka, te aromatawai, me te aromātai hōtaka. E whai kiko ana ngā mahere, ā, he pai hoki te whakariterite. Ka ārahi tēnei i te whakatinanatanga o ngā kaimahi i te hōtaka, ā, e āta whakatau ana i te aronga me te whai pūtaketanga hoki o te hōtaka. Ka whakaemihia, ka kapohia hoki ngā mōhiohio aromatawai ki ngā pūkete a ngā mokopuna. Ka whakapuakihia te whakawhanaketanga o ia mokopuna ki te taha o te whānau. Aromātai ai ngā kaimahi i te hōtaka i ia te wā, kia whai hua ai ngā whakarerekētanga. E whai wāhi atu ana ngā mokopuna ki te tētahi hōtaka akoranga e āta whakaritea ana, e āta whakahaerehia ana.
He pai ngā mahi a te whānau ki te whakahaere i te kōhanga reo. He mātātoa te whai wāhi atu a te whānau ki te whakahaeretanga o ngā whakaritenga ki te kōhanga reo. Tū ai ngā hui ā-whānau i ia te wā, ā, he pai hoki te taetae atu. He riterite ngā pūrongo me ngā tuhinga mauhanga puta noa i ngā whakahaeretanga, ā, he mōhiohio, he kiko hoki o roto i ngā meneti. Ka whakamahia te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo rautaki whakawhitiwhiti kōrero kia noho mōhio ai te whānau ki ngā kaupapa i te kōhanga reo. Kei te tūtohinga te ārahitanga mārama me te aronga mārama mō te whakahaeretanga a te whānau i te kōhanga reo. Ko ngā kaupapa here me ngā tukanga o te hauora me te haumaru me te whakahaeretanga o ngā kaimahi, e hāngai katoa ana ki ngā herenga ā-ture o te wā. Kua oti te arohaehae kaimahi, ā, he aronga tonutanga ki te whakawhanaketanga ngaio. Ko ngā mokopuna kei te pūtake o ngā mahi whakahaere a te whānau.
Ahakoa he mārama ngā wawata mō te ahu whakamua o te kōhanga reo, he mea nui tonu kia whakawhanakehia e te whānau tētahi mahere mahi e whakatakoto ai, e aroturuki ai hoki i te ahu whakamua i runga tonu i te āhua o tā rātou mahere rautaki.
I te wā o te aromātai, i tirohia e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga ngā pūnaha ki te whakahaere i ngā wāhanga e whai ake nei, arā, ki:
I whakawhanakehia e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga me te whānau o te kōhanga reo te taunakitanga e whai ake nei, arā, kia:

The Education Review Office, whānau, leaders and communities have collaborated to provide evaluation insights that foster improvement, identify progress and build evaluation capability.
Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Reo Irirangi is located in Te Kaihau-ā-Kupe, close to the Whanganui coast. The Kōhanga reo name was given to acknowledge the significance of sharing te reo Māori. The whānau have a close association with their community and the Ratana faith.
“Kotahi te kōhao o te ngira e kuhuna ai te miro, ma te miro pango, te miro whero I muri, ka mau ki te aroha”
Mokopuna demonstrate an understanding of who they are and how they belong.
Mokopuna learn in an environment where their identity is nurtured. They are supported to participate in pōhiri and whakatau. Kaumatua provide guidance and model tikanga and kawa. Mokopuna are exposed to the authentic use of te reo Māori as they listen to kaumatua whaikōrero. Tuākana are provided with opportunities to lead aspects of the formal programme. Kaimahi use appropriate strategies to support mokopuna to recite pepehā through waiata. Mokopuna learn whakamoemiti and himene pertaining to the Ratana faith. Kaimahi model values of aroha, manaaki and tiaki in the learning programme. They ensure all interactions are caring and nurturing. Mokopuna are learning about who they are and where they are from.
Kaimahi have in place processes for programme planning, assessment and programme evaluation. Planning is detailed and organised. This guides kaimahi programme implementation and ensures the programme is focussed and purposeful. Assessment information is gathered and captured in mokopuna profile books. Individual development of each mokopuna is shared with whānau. Kaimahi evaluate the programme regularly in order to make positive changes. Mokopuna experience a learning programme that is well organised and managed.
Whānau manage the Kōhanga Reo well. Whānau members actively participate in the management of the kōhanga reo operations. Whānau hui are held regularly and well attended. Reporting and recording across operations is consistent, and minutes are informative and detailed. A range of communication strategies is used to keep whānau informed about kōhanga reo events. The tūtohinga provides clear guidance and direction for whānau to manage their operations. Health and safety and personnel management policies and procedures align to current legislation. Kaimahi appraisals are completed with an ongoing focus of professional development. Mokopuna are at the heart of whānau management.
While the whanau have clear aspirations for the future of the kōhanga reo, it’s important for whanau to develop an action plan to record and closely monitor progress in relation to their aspirations.
During the evaluation, ERO looked at systems for managing the following areas:
ERO and the kōhanga reo whānau developed the following recommendation:

Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Reo Irirangi is in Te Kaihau-ā-Kupe (Castlecliff), Whanganui. Children’s enjoy learning and using te reo Māori in the kōhanga reo. Whānau appreciate having the best of both worlds for their children’s learning which incorporates Whanganuitanga and Mōrehutanga. Children are developing confidence in themselves and well-prepared for kura.
The next ERO review of Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Reo Irirangi will be in three years.
Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Reo Irirangi is in Te Kaihau-ā-Kupe (Castlecliff) in Whanganui. The staff have been involved in the kōhanga reo since 2004. Whānau and staff have strong influences in both Whanganuitanga and Mōrehutanga.
Children demonstrate they enjoy learning and speaking te reo Māori.
Children enjoy learning te reo Māori. Kaimahi use a range of strategies to support children’s language development. Language activities promote children’s use of simple phrases and sentences in formal and informal situations. Kaimahi encourage children to share their thinking by using questions and prompts. Children recite pepeha and ruruku with support from kaimahi. Children are developing speakers of te reo Māori.
Children are happy and settled in their kōhanga reo. Kaimahi encourage and support children to learn himene, waiata and mihimihi. Children follow and show understanding of ruruku and whakamoemiti aligned to the tikanga of Whanganui and the Rātana faith. Whānau value the experiences their children have to learn about Whanganuitanga and Mōrehutanga of Rātana. Children are well supported to learn about taha wairua.
Children interact confidently with each other and with adults. They are familiar with routines and initiate independent play. Kaimahi provide children with leadership opportunities in pōwhiri and helping them to set up activities for the day. The physical spiritual and emotional needs for children are an integral part of kaimahi practices. Children’s holistic wellbeing and care is a priority.
Children participate in well planned learning programmes. Programme planning is comprehensive with clear links to kaupapa and learning experiences. Learning programmes for younger children are considered by creating a space for their age group and allow kaimahi to respond to their needs. Whānau are encouraged to share ideas and give feedback about planning at hui whānau. Children benefit from individualised planning.
Children’s individual learning is monitored. Kaimahi have clear processes for assessing children’s learning. They gather information about individual’s interests, learning experiences and samples of work. Kaimahi use these observations and profile books to monitor children’s progress. A formal report is provided for whānau once a year. Whānau can access their children’s assessment information at any time. Children’s progress informs the learning programme.
Whānau members play an active role in the management of the kōhanga reo. Te Ara Tūāpae framework is used to identify strategic vision and priorities for children and the whānau. Whānau priorities include creating an environment to support children’s learning, te reo Maori and achieving aspirations for their children. Effective financial management systems allow the whānau to support the kaupapa of kōhanga reo. Children are at the heart of all kōhanga reo decision making.
Kaimahi reflect and evaluate the effectiveness of the learning programme at their regular kaimahi hui. The kōhanga reo whānau recognise the need to strengthen this process to ensure consistency across all kaimahi. Children benefit from effective evaluation.
During the review, ERO looked at the kōhanga reo systems for managing the following areas that have a potentially high impact on children's wellbeing:
All kōhanga reo are required to promote children's health and safety and to regularly review their compliance with legal requirements.
Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Reo Irirangi is in Te Kaihau-ā-Kupe (Castlecliff), Whanganui. Children’s enjoy learning and using te reo Māori in the kōhanga reo. Whānau appreciate having the best of both worlds for their children’s learning which incorporates Whanganuitanga and Mōrehutanga. Children are developing confidence in themselves and well-prepared for kura.
