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. ERO’s reports provide important information for whānau, hapū and iwi.
Te Kōhanga Reo o Tama ki Hikurangi is situated in Waiohau near Murupara. Mokopuna and whānau have whakapapa connections to Ngāi Tūhoe. The kōhanga reo is located within the marae grounds and adjacent to Te Kura Māori-ā-Rohe o Waiohau.
Mokopuna are developing an awareness of their whakapapa connections through their learning experiences.
Mokopuna are developing an understanding about who they are and where they come from. Kuia provide leadership and role model the tikanga and kawa of the marae. Kaimahi support mokopuna to participate in whakatau. Te Hāhi Ringatū is an integral part of the learning programme. Mokopuna demonstrate respect for karakia, pānui, himene and waiata koroua. The language and rituals associated with Te Hāhi Ringatū provides depth to mokopuna formal language learning. Mokopuna are settled in learning about who they are and how they belong.
Planning is purposeful and displayed in the kōhanga reo. It makes links to Te Whāriki ā Te Kōhanga Reo. It includes annual, term, and weekly plans to guide kaimahi and ensure the programme is focussed. Assessment is gathered in a variety of ways that provide useful information to whānau about mokopuna learning success. Mokopuna artwork and creations are displayed in their profile books and on the whare walls. Mātai i te mokopuna assessment methods highlight mokopuna learning and development over time. Mokopuna experience a learning programme that is organised and managed.
The management of kōhanga reo operations is inadequate. While the following areas require urgent attention, the whānau need support from the district Office to address the following. The whānau and ERO agreed that these next key steps need addressing:
During the evaluation, ERO looked at systems for managing the following areas:

Ahakoa he rōpū pūmau tonu o te whānau e hāpai ana i te whakahaeretanga o te kōhanga reo, tērā anō ētahi atu mema kāhore e whai wāhi ana. Kua tae ki te wā kia whai whakaaro te whānau ki ngā tū rautaki ka whakapiki ake i te whai wāhi mai o te whānau katoa.

Te Kōhanga Reo o Tama ki Hikurangi is situated in a small rural community in Waiohau near Murupara. The children and whānau have whakapapa connections to Ngāi Tūhoe. The kōhanga reo is based on the marae and adjacent to Te Kura Māori-ā-Rohe o Waiohau.
Children are respectful towards others and their learning environment.
Children learn in an environment where positive relationships are fostered. The kuia nurture children’s strong sense of belonging and purpose. Kaimahi settle children in a warm, welcoming and fun environment. Children interact well with kaumātua and kuia and show respect for others. Children have positive interactions with students from the kura when they come to the kōhanga reo. They also enjoy times when kaimahi play alongside them in their learning. Kaimahi show love and respect when working with babies. They are always available to respond to their physical and emotional needs. Children experience a positive learning environment. Children appear secure.
Children enjoy learning where their identity is nurtured. Children and whānau have strong whakapapa links. Kaimahi provide children with daily opportunities to learn about their papa kāinga and whare tupuna. Children learn about the significance of whakairo and stories of the area. They participate in mōteatea that are significant to Tūhoe. Kaumātua guide children through Ringatū karakia. Children also learn the tikanga and kawa of their marae. Children are affirmed as tangata whenua. Children are developing an understanding of where they come from and where they belong.
Children are well supported to learn te reo Māori. The kuia is a strong advocate for te reo Māori being the only language spoken in the kōhanga reo. Kaimahi gently encourage children to speak Māori. When children speak English, kaimahi provide the same sentence in te reo Māori. Babies understand what is said to them in Māori and respond with body language and actions. Some tuākana are confident to share their ideas and questions in te reo Māori. Kaimahi sit with individual children and introduce new words throughout the day. Children respectfully recite karakia, sing waiata and mihi to whānau. This provides them with opportunities to learn about language functions and patterns. Children are early learners of te reo Māori.
Children comfortably explore their environment. Kaimahi often link children’s learning to their natural resources and the marae environment. Children are supported by kaimahi to explore the bush area behind their kōhanga reo. Children enjoy learning about insects and nature. They have a respect and awareness for living things. Children have fun with hands-on activities that enable them to touch, taste and feel. They have access to a range of resources. Children’s art work is valued and displayed on a large centre piece wall mural. Children have fun exploring their large outdoor play area and challenging each other. Children are confident learners.
Planning and children’s assessments are well managed. Yearly and term plans provide an overview for children’s learning. Kaimahi know each other well and use each other’s individual strengths to provide children with a positive learning environment. Children’s learning is meaningful and based on local knowledge. Kaimahi monitor children’s learning and progress well. Individual profile books value children’s experiences with each other and their whānau whānui. Whānau are well informed of what children are learning and their progress over time.
Whānau management prioritises the health and wellbeing of all children. The charter is regularly reviewed. Policies and procedures are reviewed and updated. The kaiwhakahaere provides administration support for the operations for the kōhanga reo. The Te Ara Tūāpae informs the whānau vision and goals. An annual plan provides guidance and actions across the year. Health and safety registers are well monitored and recorded. Personnel documents are in place. Kaimahi appraisals are in the process of being completed. Children benefit from a whānau who actively participate in the operations of the kōhanga reo.
Programme evaluation requires strengthening. It is important that kaimahi take a planned approach to evaluation in order to raise the quality of the learning programme. ERO recommend that the whānau seek support for the kaimahi to document and ensure the programme meets the needs of all children.
Whānau participation in the kōhanga reo can be increased. While there are a dedicated group of whānau who support the management of the kōhanga reo, there are other members who do not get involved. It is time for whānau to consider strategies to raise the input of all whānau.
During the evaluation, 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.
ERO and the Kōhanga Reo whānau developed the following recommendations:
strengthen programme evaluation
implement strategies to increase participation by all whānau members.
The next ERO evaluation of Te Kōhanga Reo o Tama ki Hikurangi will be in three years.

E whakawhanake ana te pakari o ngā tamariki ki te kōrero i te reo o Ngāi Tūhoe.
He pārekareka ki ngā tamariki te ako ki tētahi taiao e aroha ana, e manaaki ana hoki i a rātou. Kua whakaritea e te whānau me ngā kaimahi ngā hononga papai ki ngā tamariki.

Kāhore anō kia oti ngā arohaehae kaimahi. Ko te whakatinana i ngā arohaehae ka āhei ai te hāpai i te whānau ki te tāutu i ngā matea o ia kaimahi, me te whakamahere hoki i te whakawhanaketanga ngaio ka whakapai ake i ngā whakaritenga o tēnei wā.
Kāhore ngā mahere a te whānau me ngā whakaritenga whakahaere, e āta arotahi atu ana ki ngā akoranga a ngā tamariki. Kāhore ngā mōhiohio arotake whaiaro e whakamahia ana hei tāutu i ngā kaupapa matua, i ngā whāinga rānei o te kōhanga reo. Kāhore ngā hui ā-whānau e hāngai pū ana ki ngā take, kāhore hoki ngā tuhinga e tohu ana i te māramatanga o ngā whakataunga. E ākina ana te whānau kia toro atu ki te tautoko e tika ana ki te whakatutuki i aua take.
I te wā o te arotake, i whakamātauhia e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga ngā pūnaha o te kōhanga reo ki te whakahaere i ngā āhuatanga i raro iho nei e whai pānga nui ana ki te waiora o ngā tamariki:
Ko te tikanga, ka whakatairanga ngā kōhanga reo katoa i te hauora me te haumaru o ngā tamariki, me te arotake anō hoki i ia te wā i tā rātou whakatutukitanga i ngā herenga ā-ture.
I tāutuhia e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga ngā wāhanga e whai ake nei, kāhore e tutuki ana e ai ki te ture. Me tahuri te whānau ki te:
I whakawhanakehia e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga me te whānau o te kōhanga reo te taunakitanga e whai ake nei, arā:
kia toro atu te whānau ki te tautoko o tō rātou purapura, o te kaupapa kaimahi rānei, hei whakatutuki i ngā mahi e tika ana, i ngā wāhanga hoki e pā ana ki ngā herenga ā-ture i tāutuhia ai ki tēnei pūrongo.
E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Tama ki Hikurangi ki Waiohau, e pā tata atu ana ki Whakatāne. Ka poipoia te Tūhoetanga o ngā tamariki. Ka rumakina ngā tamariki ki te reo o Ngāi Tūhoe. Kua waihangatia e ngā kaimahi tētahi taiao ako e mau nei i te aroha me te manaaki, ā, e aro nui ana ki ngā matea me ngā ngākau nuitanga o ia tamaiti. Me whakapai ake i te whakamahere rautaki me te arotake whaiaro.
Ka arotake anō Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i Te Kōhanga Reo o Tama ki Hikurangi i roto i te toru o ngā tau.

Te Kōhanga Reo o Tama ki Hikurangi is in Waiohau, near Whakatāne. Children and whānau whakapapa to the hapū of Waiohau and Ngāi Tūhoe iwi. There is a positive relationship between the kōhanga reo and wider community.
The previous ERO report identified good practice in Mana Reo. Kaiako planning, evaluation and assessment and self-review were also areas of good practice. Strategic planning was identified as an area for improvement.
Children use te reo o Tūhoe and have a strong sense of belonging and wellbeing as descendants of Ngāi Tūhoe.
Children are immersed in te reo o Ngāi Tūhoe. Tūhoe language and tikanga is integral to children’s learning. Kaimahi and kaumātua role model and provide children with vocabulary and sentence structures to extend their language. Children interact with each other and explore language through activities and games. Kaimahi use Ngāi Tūhoe tikanga, mōteatea and Ringatū karakia to support children’s knowledge about their hapū and iwi to enrich their language. Children are developing as confident speakers of te reo o Ngāi Tūhoe.
Children enjoy learning in a loving and caring environment. Whānau and kaimahi have established positive relationships with children. Kaimahi know their children well. Kaimahi support children to learn about their maunga, awa, marae and whenua. Parents regularly attend kōhanga reo, participate and interact with children. Children have a sense of belonging and wellbeing.
Children’s individuality is supported. Kaimahi provide opportunities for children to initiate learning. Resources available for children to make their own choices. Their needs and interests are well catered for. Kaimahi encourage children to find solutions to problems and be creative in their learning. Children’s conversations and interactions with whānau promotes thinking.
Children’s learning needs are considered. Children’s learning activities are well planned. Kaimahi planning is focused on promoting children’s Ngāi Tūhoe identity and making clear links to Te Whāriki. Learning outcomes are identified. These are specific to the children’s age and developmental needs. There are clear guidelines for planning and delivery. These expectations are well documented and followed. Children are engaged learners.
Children’s progress in learning is monitored. Individual profiles are based on observations and samples of children’s work. Notes attached to observations which capture children’s characteristics as well as the skills and knowledge they acquire. Whānau are informed about their children’s progress in learning.
Kaimahi appraisals are incomplete. Implementation of appraisal will enable whānau to identify individual kaimahi needs and plan professional development to improve current practice.
Whānau planning and management practices do not focus sufficiently on children’s learning. Internal review information is not used to identify kōhanga reo priorities or goals. Whānau hui are not focused, records do not reflect clear decision making. Whānau are urged to seek appropriate support to address these matters.
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.
ERO identified the following areas of non-compliance. The whānau must ensure:
ERO and the Kōhanga Reo whānau developed the following recommendation:
that whānau seek support from their purapura or kaupapa kaimahi to address the key next steps and areas of non-compliance identified in this report.
Te Kōhanga Reo o Tama ki Hikurangi is in Waiohau, near Whakatane. Children’s identity as descendants of Ngāi Tūhoe is nurtured. Children are immersed in te reo o Ngāi Tūhoe. Kaimahi have created a learning environment that is loving, caring and responds to the individual needs and interests of children. Strategic planning and self-review need to be improved.
The next ERO review of Te Kōhanga Reo o Tama ki Hikurangi will be in three years.
