View on mapKua mahi ngātahi Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga, ngā whānau, ngā kaiārahi, ngā kaimahi me ngā hapori ki te whakawhanake i ngā tirohanga aromātai e whai wāhi nui ai ki te hāpai i te kawenga takohanga me te whakapaitanga, ki te tautuhi i te ahu whakamua, ā, ki te whakapakari ake hoki i te āheinga ki te aromātai. Ka whakarato ngā pūrongo a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i ngā mōhiohio mātuatua mā ngā hapū me ngā iwi.
E tū ana Te Kaahui Kōhanga Reo o ki tētahi tiriti ā-tāone i te hapori o Newtown. Whai muri i te arotake o mua a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga, kua whakatutukihia ētahi whakarerekētanga ki te hanganga o te whare. E tū pā tata atu ana te tari o te kōhanga reo i nāianei, ki tētahi whare piritaha e āhuru ana hoki i tētahi wāhi ako mō ngā mokopuna, me te tari ā-rohe o Te Poari Matua o Ngā Kōhanga Reo.
I te Hui-tanguru o te tau 2022 Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i kawe ai i tētahi aromātai o ngā mahi whakahaere a te whānau. I kitea e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga, kei te whakatairanga te whānau i tētahi taiao papai e whai pānga nui ana ki te harikoa o ngā mokopuna, me tā rātou ako.
Ka kitea ki ngā mokopuna ngā tūāhuatanga maha e tohu ana i tō rātou harikoa hei ākonga.
He ngākau titikaha, he ngana hoki ngā mokopuna hei ākonga. He tākare te whakatinanatanga o ngā kaimahi i te kaupapa a Te Kōhanga Reo. Ko tā ngā mahinga o ia rā, he whakatau, he āhuru hoki i ngā mahi mā ngā mokopuna. He whai wāhitanga mō ngā mokopuna ki te āta whakapuaki i ō rātou pūmanawa ake, i ō rātou āhua motuhake. Ka kitea tō rātou harikoa me tō rātou hihiri ki te hōtaka e poipoi ana i ngā akoranga, ā, e whakatairanga ana i ngā whai wāhitanga ki te ārahi.
Ka rongo ngā mokopuna i te whakawhanaungatanga, tae atu hoki ki ngā hononga ki ngā atua Māori. Ka poipoi ngā kaimahi i ngā mokopuna mā te aroha, ā, ka tauutuutu hoki ngā mokopuna mā te whakatinanatanga o te manaakitanga ki ētahi atu. He kaitiaki ngā mokopuna o tō rātou taiao, ā, ka ngākau nui ki te noho ki te kōhanga reo. Ka ngahau tahi rātou, ā, he mātātoa tā rātou tūhura haere ki ngā wāhi o roto, o waho hoki. He pai ngā taunekeneke a ngā tuākana ki waenga i a rātou anō, ā, ki ngā kaimahi hoki. E mōhio ana rātou, kei te hāpai rātou i te tiaki o tō rātou kōhanga reo. E tino mōhiotia ana, e whāia ana hoki ngā mahinga auau e ngā mokopuna. He ngāwari ngā whakawhitinga puta noa i te kōhanga reo, ā, he pai anō hoki te whakaritenga. He ngākau titikaha ō ngā mokopuna hei ākonga.
E noho pūmau ana, e noho ngākau nui ana hoki ngā kaimahi ki te reo Māori. Ka whakamahi rātou i ngā waiata i roto i ngā tini wāhanga katoa o te hōtaka akoranga. Ka whakamahi ngā kaimahi i te tangongitanga o ngā rautaki e whakatairanga ake ana i te reo Māori mā ngā tūmomo horopaki, ā, ka whakawhānui ake anō taua tūāhuatanga i te ako a ngā mokopuna. Whakamihi ai, akiaki ai hoki ngā kaimahi i te whakamahinga o ngā mokopuna i te reo Māori. He maha ngā whai wāhitanga mō ngā mokopuna ki te ako i ngā tikanga me ngā kawa. Ka kawe atu rātou i aua whakaritenga, mā te ārahitanga o ngā kaimahi. E tino tautokona ana te ako me te whakamahi a ngā mokopuna i te reo Māori mā ngā huarahi maha.
Whai muri i te pūrongo Mana Whakahaere a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i te Hui-tanguru o te tau 2022, kua ahu whakamua te whānau i roto i ngā take whakahaere e whai ake nei. I tēnei wā, kei te tono rātou mō tētahi rārangi hōneatanga i whakaaetia ai. E arotakengia ana te tūtohinga, ngā kaupapa here, me ngā tukanga i tēnei wā. He pai ngā tukanga whakahaere kaimahi kua whakatakotohia.
Ahakoa he pai ngā tukanga ako ā te whānau, e whakaae ana rātou, he mea nui kia rapu tonu rātou i ngā huarahi ka whakapakari ake anō i ngā whakaritenga, ā, ka whakatairanga tonu i ngā putanga ki ngā mokopuna. E mōhio ana rātou, koia nei te whakaritenga matua ka whai ake mō te whakapai ake i te aromātai o roto, kia whakatairanga tonuhia ai.
I te wā o te arotake, i tirohia e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga ngā pūnaha ki te whakahaere i ngā wāhanga e whai ake nei, arā, ki:
ngā whakaritenga ohotata me ngā tikanga ohotata e pā ana ki te rū whenua, te ahi, te waipuke, te tai āniwhaniwha, me te mate urutā.
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 (ERO) in collaboration with whānau, leaders, kaimahi and their communities develop evaluation insights that foster accountability and improvement, identify progress and build evaluation capability. This report reflects their systems, operations and management practices. ERO reports provide important information for hapū and iwi.
Te Kaahui Kōhanga Reo is located in a suburban street in Newtown. Since the previous ERO review, there have been building alterations. The administration for the kōhanga reo is now located in the adjacent whare which also has a learning space for mokopuna and is shared with the local district office.
ERO undertook an evaluation of whānau whakahaere practices in February 2022. ERO found the whānau promoted a positive environment conducive to mokopuna happiness and learning.
Mokopuna show they are happy learners in multiple ways.
Mokopuna are confident and engaged learners. Kaimahi enthusiastically embody te kaupapa a Te Kōhanga Reo. Daily routines provide mokopuna with certainty and security. Mokopuna have opportunities to showcase their individual personalities and uniqueness. They show joy and excitement in a programme that fosters learning and promotes leadership opportunities.
Mokopuna experience positive relationships, as well as connections with atua Māori. Kaimahi lovingly nurture the mokopuna who demonstrate reciprocity through the modelling of manaakitanga with others. Mokopuna are kaitiaki of their environment and enjoy being at kōhanga reo. They have fun together, actively exploring both the indoors and outdoors. Tuakana interact positively with each other and kaimahi. They are aware that they have a role to play in the care of their kōhanga reo. Regular routines are well known and followed by mokopuna. Transitions across the kōhanga reo are smooth and well-coordinated. Mokopuna are confident learners.
Kaimahi are dedicated and passionate about te reo Māori. They use waiata across all aspects of the learning programme. Kaimahi use a wide variety of strategies to promote te reo Māori in different contexts, that further extends mokopuna learning. Kaimahi regularly praise and encourage mokopuna use of te reo Māori. Mokopuna experience many opportunities to learn about tikanga and kawa. They lead these practices guided by kaimahi. Mokopuna are well supported to learn and use te reo Māori in a variety of ways.
Since ERO’s February 2022 Mana Whakahaere Report the whānau have progressed the following operational matters. They are in the process of obtaining an approved evacuation scheme. The Charter, policies and procedures are currently under review. They have good personnel management processes in place.
While whānau have good learning processes in place, they agree it is important to continue to seek ways to further strengthen practices to enhance outcomes for mokopuna. They recognise this key next step is improving internal evaluation for ongoing improvement.
During the evaluation, ERO looked at systems for managing the following areas:

Kua mahi ngātahi Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga, ngā whānau, ngā kaiārahi, ngā kaimahi me ngā hapori ki te whakawhanake i ngā tirohanga aromātai e whai wāhi nui ai ki te hāpai i te kawenga takohanga me te whakapaitanga, ki te tautuhi i te ahu whakamua, ā, ki te whakapakari ake hoki i te āheinga ki te aromātai. E hāngai ana tēnei pūrongo ki ā rātou pūnaha, ki ā rātou whakaritenga, me ā rātou mahi whakahaere. Ka whakarato ngā pūrongo a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i ngā mōhiohio mātuatua mā ngā hapū me ngā iwi.
Nō te tau 1984 Te Kaahui Kōhanga Reo i whakatūngia ai, hei āta whakapūmau i te oranga tonutanga o te reo Māori, ā, koia nei tētahi o ngā kōhanga reo mātāmua o Te Whanganui-a-Tara. Whai muri i te arotake mātauranga a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i te tau 2018, kua whakawhānui ake te whare o te kōhanga reo, ā, kua whakahou ake te wāhi o waho. I nāianei, e whakamahia ana ngā mahi aromatawai mā tētahi tūāpapa matihiko.
E whakatairanga ana te whānau whakahaere i tētahi taiao papai e whakatairanga ake ana i te harikoa o ngā mokopuna me tā rātou ako.
Ka mahi ngātahi te whānau ki te whakatairanga i tētahi taiao ako papai mō ngā mokopuna. He wawata ngātahi ō te whānau e hāngai pū ana ki te reo Māori, ki te whakarauoratanga o te ahurea, ā, ki ngā hononga ā-whānau hoki.
He tautōhito te komiti matua, ā, ka āta whakatau rātou i ngā tūranga i tino tautuhia ai me ngā kawenga mahi e āta māramahia ana. He kaha tā rātou mahi ngātahi me te hāpai a tētahi i tētahi, ā, ka whakarato i ngā whakawhitinga kōrero mārama i roto i te wā e tika ana, ā, e whakamōhiotia ana ngā whakataunga papai. Ka whai wāhi atu te whānau ki te kaupapa mā ngā huarahi maha, tae atu ki te taetae atu ki ngā hui ā-whānau, ā, i konā ngā take whakahaere matua e pūrongotia ana. Ka whai kiko ngā mahere mahi, ā, ka ārahi i te huarahi me ngā whāinga o ngā mahi whakahaere me ngā mahi rautaki. Arotakengia ai te tūtohinga i ia te wā, hei āhuatanga tonu o ngā mahi a te whānau. Ka whai hua ngā mokopuna nā te noho riterite o te whānau me tō rātou whakapau kaha hei painga mō te kōhanga reo.
He pai te whakahaeretanga o ngā take kaimahi. E tino hono ana ngā tuhinga tūranga mahi a ngā kaimahi ki ngā uara matua o te manaaki me te aroha, me te hāngaitanga o aua tūāhuatanga ki te tirohanga o te kōhanga reo. Ka whai wāhi atu ngā kaimahi ki ngā arohaehae i ia te wā, ā, e noho ngākau nui ana hoki rātou ki te whai tonu i te whakawhanaketanga ngaio me ngā akoranga ngaio.
Kua āta whakatakotohia ngā kaupapa here, ngā tukanga, me ngā whakaritenga e pā ana ki te hauora me te haumaru, hei ārahi i ngā āhuatanga katoa o ngā whakahaeretanga ki te kōhanga reo. E whakatairanga ana te whānau i tētahi taiao ako tautāwhi mō ngā mokopuna.
Ka whakamahere ngātahi ngā kaimahi ki te whakarato i tētahi hōtaka akoranga i āta whakaritea ai, otirā, e aro nui ana hoki ki ngā ngākau nuitanga me ngā matea o ngā mokopuna. Ka āta whakamihia ngā kaimahi e te whānau, ā, ka kōrero hoki te whānau mō te tautoko e rangona ai e rātou. E tino pērā ana mō ngā mokopuna hei āta hāpai ake nā ō rātou matea ako ake.
Ko te ahu whakamua me te ako a ngā mokopuna, e pou here ana i ngā whakaritenga aromatawai. He pakari ngā kaimahi ki te tuhi haere i te whakawhanaketanga torowhānui o ngā mokopuna, me tā rātou ako torowhānui hoki, mā te whakamahinga o Te Whatu Pōkeka. Ka kapo atu ngā tuhinga i te ako me te ahu whakamua i roto i te roanga o te wā, ā, ka hono pū anō hoki ki ngā putanga ako i whakamaheretia ai. Hui ai ngā kaimahi i ia te wā ki te whakawhiti kōrero mō ngā tūāhuatanga o te hōtaka akoranga, me te whakawhanake i ngā mahi e tika ana mō te whakapai tonu. Ka ako ngā mokopuna ki tētahi taiao e whai pūtake ana, ā, e āta tautoko ana hoki i a rātou.
Ahakoa kua whakatakotohia tētahi kaupapa here o te wā nei mō te Ārai Tamaiti, kua tautuhia e te whānau koia nei tonu tētahi kaupapa here hei arotake, hei whakahou ake.
I te wā o te arotake, i tirohia e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga ngā pūnaha ki te whakahaere i ngā wāhanga e whai ake nei, arā, ki:
Kia tutuki i te whānau ngā herenga ā-ture, me tahuri rātou ki te:

The Education Review Office (ERO) in collaboration with whānau, leaders, kaimahi and their communities develop evaluation insights that foster accountability and improvement, identify progress and build evaluation capability. This report reflects their systems, operations and management practices. ERO reports provide important information for hapū and iwi.
Te Kaahui Kōhanga Reo was established in 1984 to ensure the retention and survival of the Māori language and is one of the oldest kōhanga reo in Wellington. Since ERO’s 2018 Education Review the kōhanga premises have been expanded and the outdoor space has been revamped. Assessment practice is now undertaken using a digital platform.
The whānau management promote a positive environment conducive to mokopuna happiness and learning.
Whānau work collaboratively to promote a positive learning environment for mokopuna. Whānau have shared aspirations that center around Māori language, cultural revitalisation and whānau relationships.
An experienced executive committee ensures well defined roles and clearly understood responsibilities. They work closely to support one another and provide clear timely communications that inform good decision making. Whānau contribute to the kaupapa in a variety of ways, including attending regular whānau hui where key operational matters are reported on. Detailed action plans guide both operational and strategic direction and goals. The charter is reviewed as a regular part of whānau business. Mokopuna benefit from a well organised whānau who serve their kōhanga well.
Personnel matters are well managed. Kaimahi position descriptions show clear links to key values of manaaki and aroha that align to the vision of the kōhanga. Kaimahi participate in regular appraisals and are committed to ongoing professional development and learning.
Health and safety policies, procedures and practices in place provide guidance for all aspects of kōhanga operations. Whānau promote a nurturing learning environment for mokopuna.
Kaimahi plan together to provide a well organised programme of learning that is responsive to the interests and needs of mokopuna. Whānau speak highly of kaimahi and express feeling well supported. This is particularly notable for mokopuna who have additional learning needs.
Mokopuna progress and learning underpin assessment practices. Kaimahi are adept at documenting the holistic development and learning of mokopuna through the use of Te Whatu Pōkeka. Records capture learning and progress overtime and show clear links to planned learning outcomes. Kaimahi meet regularly to discuss elements of the learning programme and develop actions for improvement accordingly. Mokopuna learn in a purposeful and supportive environment.
While a current Child Protection policy is in place, the whānau have identified this policy as needing reviewing and updating.
During the evaluation, ERO looked at systems for managing the following areas:
To meet compliance requirements the whānau must:
