1 Te Horopaki
Poipoia ō tātou nei pūmanawa.
E tū ana Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Te Whānau Tahi ki te hapori o Spreydon, ki Ōtautahi. Nō te tau 1989 te kura i tīmata ai me ngā ākonga tokowhā, i runga i te wawata kia ako tonu ngā tamariki i te reo Māori, ā, kia Māori tonu hoki tō rātou tū i tā rātou whakawhiti mai i te kōhanga reo ki te kura. Mai i taua wā, kua tupu tonu te rahi me ngā āheinga o Te Whānau Tahi, ā, 155 ngā ākonga o te kura ināianei, i ngā tau 1 ki te 13.
Ko tā te kura tirohanga, kia whāngai i te mātauranga ā-whānau e pou ana i ngā mātāpono o Te Aho Matua. Ka ahu mai ngā akoranga i te ahurea, i te tirohanga whakamua, ā, ka hāpai anō hoki i ngā ākonga ki te whai hononga, ki te noho matatau ki te reo Māori, ki te whakatinana i ngā uara matua kua tāutuhia. Kua tapaina ki ngā wāhi ako me ngā akomanga ko ngā ingoa o ngā tino pou whenua o roto o Ngāi Tahu, ā, e whakapūmau ana i te whakahirahiratanga o te mana whenua me te tuakiri.
2 Te Tino Uaratanga
Ko ngā rangatira mō āpōpō te pūtake atu kia poipoia ō tātou nei pūmanawa.
He ngākau titikaha ō ngā ākonga ki te whai wāhi atu ki ngā wheako e whai pānga nui ana ki ngā mātāpono o Te Aho Matua, ā, e poipoi ana hoki i ō rātou pitomata ake hei ākonga.
Te Ira Tangata
Kia tuarāngia te hanganga o te tamaiti kia tū ora i tōna whare ki te ao.
E ako ana ngā ākonga ki ngā taiao e whakapūmau ana i ngā uara, ngā whakapono, me ngā ariā o te ao Māori, pērā i te aroha, te manaakitanga, me te whakapapa. I runga anō i te āhua o te tirohanga a te kura, ka whakapūmau mārika ki te poipoi i ngā pitomata o ia ākonga, o ia ākonga o Te Whānau Tahi. He hihiri, he mārie hoki ngā wāhi ako o ngā ākonga ki ngā akomanga tēina. Ka rongo rātou i te manaaki me te pārekareka i a rātou e ako ana. I ngā ākonga e whakawhiti haere ana i ngā tau akoranga o te kura, ka nui ake ā rātou kawenga me ngā tūmanako hoki kia whakapūmautia e rātou ngā uara o te kura. Ka kitea ki ngā ākonga o te wharekura te whakaute me te pakari haere anō hoki o ō rātou pūkenga e whakawhanakehia ana hei ākonga. Ka ngākau nui rātou ki ngā whai wāhitanga ki te taunekeneke ki ētahi atu kura Māori, me te uru atu ki ngā tino kaupapa i tō rātou hapori. Ka ako, ka mārama hoki ngā ākonga i tā rātou whai wāhi nui ki te whakapūmau tonu i ngā uara o tō rātou kura.
E whakarato ana ngā kaiako me ngā kaiako i tētahi taiao e whakatairanga ana i te manawa whakahī, i te whai oranga, i te eke angitu anō hoki o ngā ākonga hei uri Māori. Nā taua āhuatanga, e kitea ana te whakatinanatanga o ngā uara ā-kura ki ngā taumata katoa o te kura. Ka hāpai ngā kaimahi i te taunekeneke o ngā ākonga hei tuākana, hei tēina. Ka ū rātou ki ngā tino tūmanako mō ngā ākonga, ā, ka whakanui, ka whakamihi hoki i ngā ākonga i ngā wā e tika ana. Kua hāngai ake te titiro a te whānau ki ngā mātāpono o Te Aho Matua, ā, kua toro atu rātou ki te ārahitanga o Te Rūnanga Nui o Ngā Kura Kaupapa Māori o Aotearoa, kia whakatū i ngā wānanga e whānui atu ai i tō rātou mōhiotanga ki Te Aho Matua. Kei te pakari haere te whai pānga nui o ngā raukura me ō rātou whānau ki te ahu whakamua o te kura mō meāke nei, i runga anō i te āhua o tō rātou hāpai ake, tō rātou tautoko ake hoki i te kura i nāianei.
Te Reo
E kohu angiangi mai i te ao, i te pō, e rerehua mai te manu o te reo Māori, kia kōkō, kia kūkū, kia keokeo mai ki tōna kounga.
Ka kitea ki ngā ākonga ō rātou whaiaro ngākau pai ki te ako me te whakamahi i te reo Māori. E noho wātea ana ki a rātou te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo rauemi e whakatairanga ake ana i tā rātou ako i te reo Māori, ā, i tā ako hoki mā te reo. Ka whakamahi hoki i te reo rotarota me ngā waiata hei huarahi auaha, hei huarahi whai pūtake hoki e whakawhānui ai i ō rātou pūkenga reo. Nā aua wheako, ka pipihi ake te hihiri me te pākiki o ngā ākonga ki te whakamahi i te reo Māori i roto i ā rātou akoranga. Ko te noho atu o ngā kaumātua me te whānau ki te kura he tikanga e pūmau ana te mana o te reo Māori i tō rātou hapori. He ngākau titikaha ō ngā ākonga o te wharekura, ki te whakamahi i te reo Māori me te reo Pākehā i roto i ā rātou akoranga. He tino take tō rātou hei whakatauira i te kōrero māhorahora i te reo Māori i ngā wāhanga huhua o ā rātou akoranga. He pai te eke angitu o ngā ākonga tuākana i roto i ngā whakataetae o Ngā Manu Kōrero i ia tau. He pai te whakamahere, te whakatinana hoki o te reo Pākehā hei kaupapa akoranga i te wharekura, ā, e āta whakarite ana tēnei i te whakawhanaketanga o ngā ākonga i ngā pūkenga e tika ana e hāpai ai i ngā huarahi ka whāia e rātou ā meāke nei. E tino tautokona ana te tupu o ngā ākonga i ō rātou pūkenga reo me ā rātou wheako reo.
E hāngai ana te whakangao me te tohatoha o ngā rauemi i te kura ki te rautaki matua mō te reo Māori. Ka kitea taua tūāhuatanga ki ngā whakaritenga, pērā i te hāpai i ngā kaimahi me ngā ākonga tuākana ki te haere ki ngā kura reo, te whakatū i ngā kaimahi e mau ana i ngā pūkenga me ngā wheako tautōhito e poipoi ai i te ako reo, me te whakapuakitanga o tētahi hōtaka whakahihiri mō ngā tamariki e whakawhiti mai ana i te kōhanga reo. Ka kitea ki te whānau tō rātou noho pūmau ki te reo Māori i te kura me te hapori whānui. He aronga whakaraupapa ā te tumuaki me ngā kaiako i roto i ā rātou mahi ki te akiaki me te whakapūmau i te whakamahinga o te reo Māori. Ka whakamana rātou i te reo ā-iwi me ngā kīwaha ake o te wāhi nei, i a rātou e whakanui tonu ana hoki i ngā reo ā-iwi katoa ka pupū ake i iwi kē atu. Ka hāpai tētahi i tētahi ki te whakapūmau i ngā tūmanako mō te reo Māori, ā, ka āwhina hoki i ō rātou hoa mahi e tīmata ana ki te ako i te reo Māori. Ka whakahaerehia ngā hui kaimahi mā te reo Māori, ā, ka toro atu hoki ki ngā whai wāhitanga ki te whakapakari i ā rātou ake whakaritenga.
Ngā Iwi
He ihiihi i rangaranga kia rangahaua ai i te mana ahunga o te tamaiti ki tōna iwi.
Ka whakawhanak ngā ākonga i ō rātou ngā pūkenga me te titikaha o te ngākau kia whai hononga pūmau ki ētahi atu. Tīmata ai ia rā, ia rā ki te karakia, ā, ka kite hoki rātou i ētahi atu e kawe ana i te ārahi me te tohutohu i ō rātou hoa. Ka whakarōpūtia ngā ākonga ki ngā rōpū ā-whānau e whakatairanga ai i te whanaungatanga me te wairua whakataetae pai ki waenga i ngā ākonga me ngā kaimahi. E mōhio ana ngā ākonga ki te mana whenua, ā, koia nei hoki tētahi tūāhuatanga e ākona tonuhia ana e rātou i ia te wā. Ka whakamana rātou i aua hononga hei ākonga o Te Whānau Tahi. Ka torotoro atu ngā ākonga i ō rātou hononga ā-whakapapa mā ngā akoranga kua āta maheretia i te tikanga ā-iwi me te hītori, me te taetae atu ki te ngā wāhi me ngā kaupapa whakahirahira o te motu whānui, pērā i a Parihaka me te Koroneihana. Ka ako ngā ākonga i ētahi atu reo, pērā i te reo rotarota o Aotearoa e tupu ake ai tō rātou mōhio ki ngā tikanga hei honohono atu ki tangata kē. Ka rongo ngā ākonga i te pai o te whakawhanaungatanga ki ētahi atu.
Ka whakarato ngā kaimahi me te whānau i ngā whai wāhitanga auau mō ngā ākonga ki te tūhono atu ki ō rātou hapori ake, ki ētahi atu kura, ētahi atu kura auraki hoki, tae atu hoki ki ngā tū kaupapa ā-motu, ā, o te ao whānui hoki. Ka āta whakarite rātou kia āhei ai ngā ākonga ki te ako me te kawe atu i ngā mahi ārahi i roto i ngā kaupapa e tika ana, pērā i ngā pōwhiri, i te kapa haka, i ngā wānanga. Waihoki, ka whakatauira ngā pakeke i te manawa whakahī mō ō rātou ake iwi, me tō rātou whakaute ki te mana whenua. Ka whakanuia ngā ākonga e ngā kaimahi me te whānau mō tā rātou whai wāhi ki te whakatairanga i te wairua pai ki te kura.
Te Ao
E whakairo te rengarenga o te raukura kia rapu o te ara ao ake i a ia, kia matairoiro i tōna oranga tonutanga.
E ako ana ngā ākonga ki te tū pakari ki te ao Māori, ki ngā huarahi anō hoki ka whāia e rātou hei whai wāhi atu ki te ao whānui. Ka hāpai ā rātou wheako ako i tō rātou māramatanga ki te āhua o ō rātou hononga ki ētahi atu, me tō rātou whai wāhi matua ki ō rātou whānau, tō rātou hapori, me tō rātou iwi. Ka ako rātou i ō rātou tūrangawaewae, ā, ka kitea anō hoki tō rātou manawa whakahī mō ō rātou tūrangawaewae. Ka tīmata tō rātou mārama haere i te āhua tonu o ō rātou hononga ki ngā atua Māori, mā ō rātou pepeha, me te āhua o te tuituitanga o ngā uara o Te Whānau Tahi ki ā rātou akoranga. I a rātou e tupu ake ana, ka ākina te tūhura haere a ngā ākonga mā te pakirehua, te patapatai, me te āta whakapuaki i ō rātou taha pākiki ki te ao Māori me te ao whānui. Ka pakari haere te whakamahinga a ngā ākonga i te hangarau matihiko me ngā pūnaha ā-ipurangi, hei whakawhānui ake i ā rātou ake akoranga. He manawa whakahī ō ngā ākonga mō rātou anō, me ngā huarahi e parangia ana e ā rātou akoranga.
Kua whakaraupapahia e te whānau tō rātou wawata rautaki kia tū hei pokapū o te auaha Māori. Ka hāngai tēnei ki te tū auau o ngā whai wāhitanga mō ngā ākonga ki te whakawhanake i ngā pūmanawa ako e whakatairanga ana i te whakaaro kaikini, te hiringa, me te auaha. Ka āta whakarite ngā kaiako kia taea ai e ngā ākonga ngā hangarau hou te whakamahi i ngā akomanga, i a rātou e kōkiri tonu ana i ō rātou ake whakawhanaketanga ngaio kia whai pūtake ai te whakamahinga o te hangarau ki ngā tūāhuatanga ako i whakaritea kētia. Ka whakamahere, ka whakarato hoki rātou i te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo wheako ako whakahihiri, puta noa i ngā reanga tau o te kura.
Āhuatanga Ako
Ko ngā kokonga whare e puāwai i te manawa ako o te tamaiti, koia ko te kākano i ruiruia mai kia Rangiātea tōna ako ki te ao.
E noho tuwhera ana ngā hinengaro o ngā ākonga ki te ako. Ka kitea ki ngā ākonga – puta noa i ngā reanga tau i te kura – tō rātou ngāwari, ō rātou ngākau titikaha hoki ki te whakapuaki i ō rātou whakaaro, te patapatai, me te whai wāhi atu ki ngā whakawhitinga kōrero. Ka kitea ngā mātāpono me ngā uara o Te Aho Matua ki ngā aronga e whakamahia ana hei poipoi i te whakawhanaketanga ā-tinana, ā-whatumanawa hoki o ngā ākonga. Ka tāutuhia, ka hāpaitia hoki ngā ākonga e mau ana i ngā matea ako ake. Ka āta aroturukitia tā rātou ahu whakamua. Ko te āhua o te whakatakotoranga o ngā akomanga me ngā rauemi o roto, e whai pānga matua ana ki ngā huarahi ako e whāia ana e ngā ākonga ki tēnā me tēnā o ngā tū reanga. Ka kapo atu ngā akomanga tēina i te tirohanga kanohi, hei whakaongaonga, hei whakatairanga hoki i te āta pāhekoheko o te tamaiti i te roa o te rā, engari he ngāwari kē te whakawhitiwhiti i te ako takitahi ki te ako ā-rōpu i ngā akomanga o te wharekura. Ka whai pūtake ngā mahi whakanui i ngā whakatutukitanga me te eke angitu o ngā ākonga, ā, ka whakapūmau hoki i te tirohanga a te kura e mea ana, kia ‘Poipoia ō tātou nei pūmanawa.’ Ka kitea ki ngā ākonga ō rātou pūmanawa hei ākonga tūmāia.
Ka āta whakarite, ka āta whakamahere, ka mahi ngātahi anō hoki ngā kaiako, ā, ka whakaaro huritao anō hoki rātou ki ā rātou ake whakaritenga. Ka whai whakaaro rātou ki ō rātou pūmanawa, me te āhua o te whakapuakitanga o aua pūmanawa kia pakari ake ai te whai pānga nui a te katoa ki tēnā me tēnā o ā rātou wāhi ako. Ka whakatinanahia ki ngā whakaaturanga, ko ngā whakataunga e hāpai ana i te whakapai tonutanga o ngā whakaakoranga me ngā akoranga. Ka whai whakaaro ngā kaiako ki ngā aronga tukanga hei whakapaipai i te whakaako, i te ako, i te waiora, he pērā me te PB4L, me ngā mahere ako motuhake mo te ākonga, me ngā rōpū ā-whānau o Pūhoi. Ka hiki ngā pūnaha arohaehae me ngā pūnaha ārahi ako i te tupu o te whakaritenga ngaio, ā, ka hāpai anō hoki i ngā kaimahi ki te kawe ake i ngā tūmomo mahi ārahi i te kura. Ka mahi ngātahi ngā kaiako hei painga mō ngā ākonga, hei whakapakari anō hoki i tā rātou whakaritenga.
Te Mātauranga i te Wharekura
Kua tupu tonu te whakaratonga o te mātauranga wharekura, no te arotake o mua a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga. Kua whakatakotohia ngā rawa, ngā akoranga, me ngā rauemi mō ngā ākonga o te wharekura, ā, e hāngai katoa ana ēnei ki ō rātou matea ako ake, me ō rātou huarahi ako. He matawhānui ngā pūnaha me ngā tukanga o roto e whakahaere ana i ngā tikanga aromatawai ā-motu mō Te Taumata Mātauranga ā-Motu kua Taea, ā, kua āta whakatinanahia hoki. Nō nā tata tonu nei ētahi mātanga kaiako i whakatū ai, ā, kua pakari ake tēnei i te āheinga o ngā kaimahi ki te whakapuaki i ngā kaupapa i āta whakawhānuihia ai. Ka mahi ngātahi rātou ki te whakatairanga i te angitu o ngā ākonga i roto i ngā akoranga, me te whakawhanake anō hoki i ō rātou ake mōhiotanga ngaio. I ngā wā e tika ana, ka taea e ngā ākonga ētahi atu kaupapa ako teitei te whai atu, mā ngā whakaritenga ka whakatakotohia ki te taha o ētahi atu ratonga. E tohu ana ngā putanga o Te Taumata Mātauranga ā-Motu kua Taea i te eke angitu ngā ākonga. Ko te tātari tonutanga o ngā paetae ākonga o Te Taumata Mātauranga ā-Motu kua Taea, e hāpai ana i ngā kaiako me te whānau ki te aro atu i tā rātou titiro ki ngā wāhanga pakari me ngā wāhanga hei āta tātari ake. Ka rongo ngā ākonga o te wharekura i te angitu i roto i ā rātou akoranga me ō rātou whakawhanaketanga ki Te Whānau Tahi.
Ngā wāhanga i tāutuhia ai e te kura hei whakawhanake ake
Nō te tīmatanga o tēnei tau ka whakatūngia tētahi wānanga o Te Aho Matua i te taha o te whānau me ngā kaimahi. Ko tētahi aronga matua i puta ai i taua wānanga, kia whai wāhi tonu, kia tūhura tonu hoki te whānau i ngā huarahi e āta whakatō ai i ngā mātāpono o Te Aho Matua ki roto i ngā whakaakoranga, i ngā akoranga, i te ārahitanga, i te whakahaeretanga, me te kāwana i te whānau. Ka hāngai anō hoki taua aronga ki te āta tautuhi i ngā huarahi ka whakatupu ake i te whai wāhi mai o te whānau me ā rātou whakaritenga i runga anō i te āhua o Te Aho Matua, me te whakapakari anō hoki i te whakamahinga o te reo Māori ki ngā kāinga.
3 Te Arotake Whaiaro me te Ārahitanga
He tira haemata kua poupou i te ranga kia tipu.
He mahi ngātahi te ārahitanga, he whakakoia hoki. Whai muri i te arotake o mua a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga, kua pā mai ētahi āhuatanga nui ki te whānau whānui me te hapori o te kura. I aua wā taumaha, kua manawanui te whānau, ngā kaiārahi o te kura, me ngā kaimahi ki te ū ki te kura me āna ākonga. He nui te haumitanga, e āta whai wā ana hoki rātou ki te whakatū i tētahi kaiārahi ngaio hou. I tēnei wā, e tino tautokona ana te tumuaki whakakapi e te rōpū ārahitanga matua, e te poari hoki i roto i āna mahi, tae noa ki te wā ka tīmata te tumuaki tūturu hei te tīmatanga o te tau 2019. Ka tino mahi ngātahi te rōpū ārahitanga matua, ā, ka mahi rātou kia kōkiri whakamua tonu ai ngā kaupapa. Ka kitea ki ngā mema o te whānau tō rātou ārahitanga, mā tā rātou ū tonu ki ngā hononga i te kura, me tā rātou whai wāhi mātātoa. Ka riro i ngā ākonga ngā painga o te ārahitanga pakari e āta whai whakaarohia ai.
Ka whai pūtake ngā whakaritenga o te arotake whaiaro, ā, ka kitea ki ngā tini reanga puta noa i te kura. Ka āta whakatakoto ngā mahere rautaki me ngā mahere ā-tau i ngā kaupapa matua kia kōkiri whakamua tonuhia te reo Māori, te eke angitu me te waiora o ngā ākonga, te kounga o ngā whakaakoranga, me te aro pū ki Te Aho Matua i te kura. Ka whakapuaki te whānau me ngā kaimahi i te whai huatanga o ngā tino mōhiohio arotake whaiaro e ārahi ai i ngā whakapaitanga hei painga mō te kura. E noho wātea ana ngā kaupapa here me ētahi atu tuhinga matua hei tirohanga ake. Ka whakamahia te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo huarahi whakawhitiwhiti whakaaro, kia tini ai ngā tūmomo whakapuakitanga mōhiohio mā ngā mātua, ngā whānau, me te hapori.
Ko te kounga o te whakaako me te whakapai ake i ngā paetae ākonga ētahi o ngā whāinga matua a te whānau. Kua āta whakaritea ngā pūnaha hei arotake, hei tātari, hei pūrongo hoki i te ahunga whakamua me ngā paetae. Ko ngā whakapae e pā ana ki ngā paetae, ka whakatinanahia ki te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo hōtuku aromatawai me ngā whakaaturanga, kātahi ka arahina ngā whakataunga mō ngā mahi e tika ana ki ngā akomanga, ki te kura whānui hoki. E tohu ana ngā mahi tātari o te reo matatini me te pāngarau, i te whakatutukitanga pai o te nuinga o ngā ākonga. Ko ngā ākonga hei āta hāpai ake i roto i ngā akoranga, e āta aroturukitia ana hei āta whakarite i te ahu whakamua tonu. Ko te eke angitu o ngā ākonga tētahi aronga matua o te whānau, te poari, me ngā kaimahi.
4 Te Whakatau a te Whānau ki ngā Wāhanga Tautukunga
I mua atu i te whakahaerenga o te arotake i whakatutukihia e te poari me te tumuaki he Tauāki Kupu Tūturu a te Whānau mā Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga, me tētahi Rārangi Arowhai Tātari Whaiaro. I roto i ēnei tuhinga i oati rātou i whāia e rātou ngā huarahi whai take hei whakatutuki i ā rātou herenga ā-ture e pā ana ki:

1 Context
Poipoia ō tātou nei pūmanawa. Making our potential a reality.
Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Te Whānau Tahi is located in the suburb of Spreydon, Christchurch. The kura first began with four students in 1989 with the desire to ensure children could continue to learn te reo Māori and be Māori when they moved from kōhanga reo into school. Since that time, Te Whānau Tahi has continued to grow in terms of its size and capacity, and now has a roll of 155 students from Years 1 to 13.
The vision for the kura is to provide whānau-based education that is underpinned by the principles of Te Aho Matua. Learning will be culturally-grounded and future-focussed, and enable students to be connected, fluent in te reo Māori, and display identified core values. Learning spaces and classrooms are named after prominent landmarks within the tribal boundaries of Ngāi Tahu and reinforce the importance of mana whenua and identity.
2 Te Tino Uaratanga
Ko ngā rangatira mō āpōpō te pūtake atu kia poipoia ō tātou nei pūmanawa.
Students confidently engage in experiences that reflect the principles of Te Aho Matua and nurture their unique potential as learners.
Te Ira Tangata
Kia tuarāngia te hanganga o te tamaiti kia tū ora i tōna whare ki te ao.
Students learn in environments that uphold Māori values, beliefs and concepts such as aroha, manaakitanga and whakapapa. In line with the vision of the kura, there is a strong commitment to nurture the potential of each student within Te Whānau Tahi. Students in the junior classrooms learn in lively and harmonious spaces. They experience care and enjoyment in their learning. As students move through the year levels in the kura, they experience greater levels of responsibility and expectation to maintain the values of the kura. Students in the wharekura show respect and maturity in the skills they are developing as learners. They value opportunities to interact with other kura Māori and participate in important kaupapa within their community. Students learn about and understand their contribution to maintaining the values of their kura.
Kaiako and kaimahi provide an environment where students can be proud of their identity as Māori, live as Māori and be successful as Māori. As such, the role modelling of kura values is evident at multiple levels within the kura. Kaimahi support students to interact as tuākana and tēina. They maintain strong expectations for students, and praise and acknowledge students appropriately. The whānau has strengthened their focus on the principles of Te Aho Matua and sought guidance from Te Rūnanga Nui o Ngā Kura Kaupapa Māori o Aotearoa to hold wānanga and extend their knowledge of Te Aho Matua. Graduates and their whānau play an increasingly important role in the future of the kura in the ways that they are now able to give back and show support for the kura.
Te Reo
E kohu angiangi mai i te ao, i te pō, e rerehua mai te manu o te reo Māori, kia kōkō, kia kūkū, kia keokeo mai ki tōna kounga.
Students display positive attitudes to learning and using te reo Māori. They have ready access to a range of resources that enrich their learning of and through te reo Māori. Sign language and waiata are used as creative and meaningful approaches to extend their language skills. These experiences spark student interest and curiosity to use te reo Māori in their learning. The presence of kaumātua and whānau within the kura reinforces the value of te reo Māori within their community. Wharekura students can use both te reo Māori and English with confidence in their learning. They play a key role in demonstrating the natural use of te reo Māori across many aspects of their learning. Senior students achieve well in Manu Kōrero competitions every year. English as a subject area in the wharekura is well planned and implemented to ensure students develop the necessary skills to support future pathways. Students are well supported to grow their language skills and experiences.
The investment and allocation of resources in the kura aligns to the strategic priority for te reo Māori. This is evident in actions such as enabling staff and senior students to attend kura reo, employing staff with specialist skills and experience to foster language learning, and creating a vibrant programme for children who transition from kōhanga reo. The whānau demonstrate their commitment to te reo Māori in the kura and their wider community. The tumuaki and kaiako are disciplined in how they encourage and maintain the use of te reo Māori. They recognise the status of the local dialect and distinct language nuances, while also showing value for language of other iwi. They support each other to uphold expectations for te reo Māori and assist colleagues who are at early stages of learning te reo Māori. They conduct staff hui in te reo Māori and seek opportunities to strengthen their own practice.
Ngā Iwi
He ihiihi i rangaranga kia rangahaua ai i te mana ahunga o te tamaiti ki tōna iwi.
Students develop skills and confidence to form enduring relationships with others. They begin each day with karakia and observe how others take responsibility to lead and guide their peers. All students are placed in whānau groups which enhances whanaungatanga and generates good-natured competition amongst students and kaimahi. Students know and continue to learn about mana whenua. They show respect for those connections as learners within Te Whānau Tahi. Students extend their whakapapa connections through planned learning in tikanga ā-iwi and history, as well as by visiting places and events of national significance such as Parihaka and the Koroneihana. Students learn other languages, like New Zealand Sign Language, which grows their understanding of how to connect with others. Students experience positive connections with others.
Kaimahi and whānau provide regular opportunities for students to be involved in their local communities, with other kura and schools, as well as in national and global contexts. They ensure students can learn and take lead roles, as appropriate, in kaupapa such as pōwhiri, kapa haka and wānanga. Furthermore, adults model pride in their own iwi while also showing respect for mana whenua. Students are acknowledged by kaimahi and whānau for their role in creating a positive ethos in the kura.
Te Ao
E whakairo te rengarenga o te raukura kia rapu o te ara ao ake i a ia, kia matairoiro i tōna oranga tonutanga.
Students learn to be confident in their place within the Māori world and in how they contribute to the wider world. Their learning experiences help them to understand how they connect to others and are an integral part of their whānau, community and iwi. They learn about and show pride in their tūrangawaewae. They begin to understand the extent of their connections to atua Māori through their pepeha, and in the way that the values of Te Whānau Tahi are incorporated within their learning. As they grow, students are encouraged to explore through inquiry, ask questions and engage their curiosity about the Māori world and wider world. Students become confident users of digital technology and web-based platforms to extend their own learning. Students take pride in themselves and the places that their learning takes them.
The whānau has outlined their strategic aspiration to become a centre of Māori innovation. This includes regular opportunities for students to develop learning dispositions that promote critical thinking, innovation and creativity. Kaiako ensure students are able to use new technology in classrooms, while also continuing their own professional development to ensure technology is integrated purposefully alongside what they have already established. They plan and provide a varied and interesting range of learning experiences across the year levels in the kura.
Āhuatanga Ako
Ko ngā kokonga whare e puāwai i te manawa ako o te tamaiti, koia ko te kākano i ruiruia mai kia Rangiātea tōna ako ki te ao.
Students are open and ready for learning. Students across the year levels in the kura display ease and confidence to express themselves, ask questions and engage in discussions. The principles and values of Te Aho Matua are evident in the approaches used to foster students’ physical and emotional development. Student who have additional learning needs are identified and supported. Their progress is closely monitored. The way classrooms are set up and resourced reflects the modes of learning students will be engaged in at different levels. Junior classrooms are visually stimulating and promote high levels of personal interactions throughout the day, while learning spaces in the wharekura allow for greater fluidity between self-directed and group learning. Achievements and successes of students are acknowledged in meaningful ways and uphold the vision of the kura Poipoia ō tātou nei pūmanawa. Students display attributes of being confident learners.
Kaiako are well prepared and planned, work collaboratively, and reflect on their individual practice. They consider what strengths they bring and how these can be used for greater collective impact within their respective learning areas. Decisions to assist with ongoing improvements in teaching and learning are informed by evidence. Kaiako consider and implement approaches that contribute to improvements in teaching, learning and wellbeing such as PB4L, individual education plans and the Pūhoi whānau groups. The appraisal and mentoring systems contribute to the growth of professional practice and enable staff take leadership roles in different ways within the kura. Kaiako work together for the benefit of students and to build their collective practice.
Wharekura Education
The provision of wharekura education has continued to grow since the previous ERO review. Wharekura students have dedicated facilities, classrooms and resources that are conducive to their learning needs and methods of learning. The internal systems and processes to manage national assessment requirements for NCEA are thorough and well implemented. The capability of staff to deliver across the managed growth of subjects has strengthened with the recent appointment of specialist teachers. They work together to enhance learning success for students and to develop their professional knowledge. Where appropriate, students are able to access other senior subjects through agreed arrangements with other providers. NCEA results show students achieve well. Ongoing analysis of NCEA achievement data allows kaiako and whānau to focus their attention on areas of strength and areas to examine more closely. Wharekura students experience success in their learning and development at Te Whānau Tahi.
Kura-identified areas of development
A Te Aho Matua wānanga was facilitated with whānau and kaimahi earlier this year. A key outcome of that wānanga was the need to ensure that whānau continue to engage in and explore how to embed the principles of Te Aho Matua across teaching and learning, leadership and management, and whānau governance. This includes defining pathways to grow whānau involvement and practices in line with Te Aho Matua and building te reo Māori capability in homes.
3 Self Review and Leadership
He tira haemata kua poupou i te ranga kia tipu.
Leadership is collaborative and affirming. Since the previous ERO review, there have been significant events which impacted on the extended whānau and community of the kura. Through these challenging times, the whānau, kura leaders and staff have been steadfast in their commitment to the kura and its students. There is significant investment and time being given to the recruitment of a new professional leader. In the meantime, the acting tumuaki is well supported by the senior leadership team and board of trustees to continue in the role until the new permanent tumuaki begins his role early in 2019. The senior leadership team are highly collegial and work in ways that maintain forward momentum. Whānau members demonstrate their leadership by maintaining connections and being active within the kura. Students benefit from sound and considered leadership.
Self-review practices are purposeful and evident at multiple levels within the kura. Strategic and annual planning documents clearly articulate future-focussed priorities for te reo Māori, student success and wellbeing, quality teaching and sustaining an explicit focus on Te Aho Matua within the kura. The whānau and kaimahi articulate the value of robust self-review information to guide improvements that benefit the kura. Policies and other key documents are readily available. A range of communication approaches is implemented to ensure multiple avenues of sharing information with parents, whānau and the community.
Quality teaching and improving student achievement are strategic priorities for the whānau. There are established systems to review, analyse and report on progress and achievement. Judgements about achievement are informed by a range of assessment data and evidence, which then guides decisions about what actions are needed at classroom levels and across the kura. Analysis across the strands of te reo matatini and pāngarau shows that most students are achieving well. Students who require additional learning support are monitored closely to ensure progress continues. The success of students is a priority for the whānau, board of trustees and kaimahi.
4 Whānau assurance on legal requirements
Before the review, the board of trustees and principal completed the ERO Whānau Assurance Statement and Self-Audit Checklists. In these documents they attested that they had taken all reasonable steps to meet their legislative obligations related to:
- board administration
- curriculum
- management of health, safety and welfare
- personnel management
- financial management
- asset management.
During the review, ERO checked the following items because they have a potentially high impact on student achievement:
- emotional safety of students (including prevention of bullying and sexual harassment)
- physical safety of students
- teacher registration
- processes for appointing staff
- stand-downs, suspensions, expulsions and exclusions
- attendance.
5 Recommendations
ERO recommends the whānau, board of trustees and kaimahi:
- continue to grow their collective understanding of Te Aho Matua with support from Te Rūnanga Nui o Ngā Kura Kaupapa Māori o Aotearoa
- ensure the new tumuaki is well supported to contribute effectively to realising the aspirations of the whānau and board of trustees
- maintain their rigorous self-review systems and practices in line with the vision for high quality Te Aho Matua education in the kura.
Conclusion
Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Te Whānau is located in Spreydon, Christchurch. Students confidently engage in experiences that reflect Te Aho Matua and nurture their unique potential as learners. They are ably supported by kaimahi and whānau to uphold the principles and values of their kura. Self-review practices are purposeful and support ongoing improvements in the kura.
When is ERO likely to review the kura again?
The next ERO review of Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Te Whānau Tahi will be in four-to-five years – Te Manakotanga – Enrichment Evaluation.
