Ka tiaki ngā ākonga i ngā arawai o te hapori, ā, e whakawhanake ana rātou i tō rātou noho haepapa ki te taiao. Nā te hononga ki tētahi rōpū nō tāwāhi ka puta ake ngā whai wāhitanga mō ngā ākonga ki te whakapuaki i ngā taonga Māori tuku iho ki a rātou. Ko te tino whakangao ki te hangarau whakawhiti mōhiohio e whakarato ana i ngā whai wāhitanga mō ngā ākonga ki te whakawhānui ake i tō rātou tirohanga ki te ao.

Ngā Kōrero e pā ana ki te kura 

The Purpose of an ERO Review

The purpose of ERO’s reviews is to give whānau and the wider kura community information about the quality of education that the kura provides and their children receive. ERO’s reports are intended to be clear, concise, constructive and evaluative. An ERO report answers an evaluative question about Te Tino Uarātanga. Under the overarching question ERO reports on the quality of Te Aho Matua education and learning outcomes for children. ERO also reports on self-review processes and practices.

Findings

Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Pūau Te Moananui-ā-Kiwa is in Glen Innes, Auckland. Students exemplify the hopes and aspirations of their whānau. Students have a range of experiences in the local and wider community to affirm their identity as Māori in an urban setting.

The next ERO review of Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Pūau Te Moananui-ā-Kiwa will be in three years – Te Rākeitanga – Expansive Evaluation. 

1 Context

Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Puau Te Moananui-ā-Kiwa is in Glen Innes, Auckland. The buildings were redesigned in 2014 creating a modern learning environment. The kōhanga reo has been relocated onto the kura site. The whānau have established connections to the local marae, Ngāti Whātua and the wider community.

Since the previous review in 2014 a new board has been elected. The principal was appointed in 2016 and is a first time principal. Wharekura teachers were appointed in 2017 and are learning their respective roles and responsibilities in the delivery of education for year’s 9 – 13 students.

2 Te Tino Uaratanga

To what extent do students exemplify the hopes and aspirations of their whānau?

Students exemplify the hopes and aspirations of their whānau.

Te Ira Tangata

Students are developing an understanding of their roles as tuakana and teina. Whanaungatanga underpins school-wide practices. Students interact positively with whānau, hapū, iwi, community groups and overseas visitors. New students are introduced to the school values and expectations. Students show care and concern for others.

Te Reo

Students are exposed to te reo Māori in a variety of learning contexts. Kaiako use language acquisition strategies to strengthen students’ communication skills. Students are exposed to good language models in formal and informal settings. Kaiako gather and use assessment data to group students based on ability and individual learning needs. Kaiako have planned a professional development programme to accelerate student’s literacy learning.

Although there is a school-wide focus to support whānau language development, a strategy to monitor students’ language development needs to be implemented. Students use te reo Māori in formal situations.

Ngā Iwi

Students are learning about their role as tangata whenua. There is a school-wide emphasis to enhance student knowledge about their identity. Although the marau-ā-kura is in a developmental phase, the whānau are committed to the history and stories about Pūau. This knowledge is used to develop learning programmes that focus on Pūau who contributed to the local community, marae and connections to the hapū and iwi. Kaiako encourage students and parents to compose whakataukī and waiata to acknowledge Pūau and her place in the kura. Kaiako provide students with opportunities to interact with whānau in different marae settings in the local and wider communities. Kaiako provide opportunities for students from other iwi to plan trips for the whānau to visit their marae in other rohe. Students are learning about their roles in an urban immersion setting.

Te Ao

Students understand the connections between the past and present. Sustainability and self-sufficiency are promoted throughout the school. Kaiako plan learning experiences that use traditional Māori knowledge in an urban setting. Garden boxes are well established for growing kai for whānau. Kaiako provide traditional activities such as mau rākau, poi, tititōrea and haka to enhance students’ skills and knowledge in traditional Māori performing arts. Students care for local waterways and they are developing a sense of responsibility for the physical environment. A relationship with an overseas group provides opportunities for students to share Māori traditions with them. A significant investment into information and communication technology (ICT) provides students with opportunities to broaden their world view. Students use traditional knowledge to guide them in the present.

Āhuatanga Ako

Students are developing skills to be independent learners. Kaiako work in a learning environment that promotes working and learning collaboratively. Learning spaces allow kaiako to share responsibility for planning and delivery of the daily programme. Kaiako group students based on abilities and needs within the learning spaces. The learning spaces provide kaiako with flexibility to use their individual currciulum strengths. Behaviour programmes have been developed to support students to make positive choices in their learning. A buddy system has been implemented to manage individual and group needs. Activities are organised to incorporate indoor and outdoor learning environments. Assessment data supports kaiako to identify specific learning needs. This is used to inform programme planning for literacy and numeracy.

Wharekura Education

Kaiako provide students with a range of curriculum options for years 9 to 13. The programme has been designed for students to achieve National Certificates in Education Achievement (NCEA) and pursue vocational pathways. NCEA results show students are achieving in all levels. The wharekura programme is delivered in English.

Kura-identified areas of development

Students’ use of te reo Māori is developing. Although students use te reo Māori in formal settings, English is predominantly used informally. It is important for whānau to develop a language strategy to strengthen students’ language of communication in a range of settings. Students prefer to communicate in English.

Students learning achievement is not consistently monitored. Although kaiako have responsibilities to regularly gather and analyse data, this is not consistently followed school-wide. It is important that kaiako seek assistance to improve their use of achievement data.

3 Self-Review and leadership

The Tumuaki is developing a senior leadership team to collaboratively lead curriculum school-wide. She is focussed on using the leadership teams’ skills, knowledge and experience to improve students learning outcomes. Regular meetings are held to identify strategies to improve outcomes.

The Board is developing its’ understanding about governance roles and responsibilities. They regularly reflect on the quality of education provided to identify improvement. School-wide systems and processes are a focus to guide governance and management practices. The board has undertaken a comprehensive review of school-wide operations as part of self-review. They have identified priorities to support school-wide developments. Decision making is based on students learning and achievement. The board are developing strategies to promote whānau engagement in the school.

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

The whānau, board and kaiako collaboratively develop:

• a school-wide language strategy to improve the quality of te reo Māori
• use analysed assessment information to regularly report student progress and achievement to the board of trustees.

Conclusion

Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Pūau Te Moananui-ā-Kiwa is in Glen Innes, Auckland. Students exemplify the hopes and aspirations of their whānau. Students have a range of experiences in the local and wider community to affirm their identity as Māori in an urban setting.

When is ERO likely to review the kura again?

The next ERO review of Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Pūau Te Moananui-ā-Kiwa will be in three years – Te Rākeitanga – Expansive Evaluation.

1 Context

What are the important features of this school’s context?

Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Puau Te Moananui-ā-Kiwa is in Glen Innes, Auckland. This is a Te Aho Matua Kura Kaupapa Māori.

This kura is developing as a special place for many students and parents. Some whānau and students connect personally to the kura and its community. The community is well engaged in the life of the kura. Whānau support the daily operations and help set the future direction of the kura. Significant roll growth is expected in the near future and building renovations are underway.

The kura has a strong working relationship with local Kōhanga reo. Effective relationships have been established with the local marae and Ngāti Whātua.

A new board of trustees is in place. The principal is long serving at the kura as are some of the senior staff members.

2 Te Tino Uaratanga

How well do students develop physical and spiritual wellbeing through the harmonious alignment of body, mind and spirit?

Students are well supported to develop physical and spiritual wellbeing through the harmonious alignment of body, mind and spirit?

Te Ira Tangata

Students are well supported to develop spiritual and physical wellbeing through their involvement in the daily life of the kura. Students demonstrate positive relationships with each other and with the wider kura community. Daily tikanga practices, recreation and sporting pursuits also support students to develop physical and spiritual wellbeing. Whānau relationships are embraced and celebrated in the kura. Whakapapa connections to tipuna and to hapū and iwi are investigated by students. Students learn about who they are and where they come from. Students are supported to interact with and learn from pakeke and kaumātua. Students participate in many sporting and recreational activities including swimming, waka ama, mau rākau and kapa haka. Students benefit from the daily breakfast club which is popular and well attended. Students receive milk in schools and fruit to ensure that they are ready for learning. In addition the principal has built sound and meaningful relationships with many external support agencies to provide suitable care and support for students. Students develop a strong sense of belonging to the kura and its community.

Te Reo

Students are well supported to read, write and converse in te reo Māori.

Children hear good models of te reo Māori. Staff speak te reo Māori consistently throughout the day. Whānau members are supported to attend te reo Māori training including Ātaarangi, Te Ara Reo and Kura Reo. There is a high expectation that whānau and students enrolling at the kura have a commitment to te reo Māori. Learning programmes have been developed for emergent learners of te reo Māori where appropriate.

Teachers demonstrate their commitment to improve and to refine their teaching practice. They have ongoing professional learning and development about the teaching and learning of literacy. Teachers share their knowledge and resources with each other. Videos of how to manage and use assessment tools are available for staff to access.

Area for development

The board is not well informed about the progress and achievement of students across the kura. While the kura has some information about student progress and achievement this has not been well analysed.

The analysis and interpretation of student achievement information in writing and reading is inadequate. Staff do not use the data to identify the students who require specific programmes to increase their rate of progress.

There is no current student achievement information about oral language progress and achievement.

Ngā Iwi

Students are well supported to develop an understanding of who they are and where they are from.

Kaumātua, pakeke and parents show leadership and commitment to the ongoing success of the kura. Students and whānau learn about their roles and responsibilities as members of the kura community. Relationships and interactions are respectful and supportive. Students are supported to learn about whānau, hapū and iwi connections through excursions, kapa haka and history lessons. There are opportunities for students to compare and contrast their experiences and knowledge of different iwi.

Whānau are committed to seamless education for their children. Currently the kōhanga reo and kura provide a te reo Māori immersion education pathway for children from 0-18 years old. The board and wider community are now exploring ways to extend the kura to tertiary levels.

• Students relate well to each other
• Students learn about their role as tangata whenua and as manuhiri
• Students have a strong sense of self and community.

Te Ao

Students are well supported to explore and investigate the past, present and future.

Teachers use the kura curriculum to design and implement programmes that assist students to research, explore and investigate the world. A range of professional learning and development opportunities are provided for teachers to build curriculum knowledge. An integrated approach to learning is used by teachers to ensure breadth and depth of learning. Learning objectives link well with Te Aho Matua outcomes for students. Students use the natural environment as a context for learning such as fishing and growing food. They use ICT to enhance their learning. Students are developing as independent learners.

• Students are supported to use ICT and to explore and investigate the wider world
• Students are developing skills to work independently
• Students are supported to have an experiential approach to learning
• Students use maths, science and technology to investigate the world and beyond.

Āhuatanga Ako

Students are engaged in learning.

Classrooms are well resourced, organised and inviting. Teachers provide stimulating learning environments where resources support the curriculum. Teachers support students to use ICT appropriately. Self directed and independent learning is encouraged by teachers. Teachers provide differentiated learning programmes for pangarau and literacy. Parents support by attending regularly and helping during the day.

• Students are focussed and on task
• Students are enthusiastic about learning.

Areas for improvement

Students are not well informed about what they are doing well and what they can do better particularly in literacy. Teachers need to improve the quality of feedback to students.

Kura-identified areas of development

The kura have identified the need to improve the quality of self review with a particular emphasis on improving assessment and the use of student achievement information to accelerate student progress, achievement and engagement.

3 Self Review and leadership

Senior leaders have a limited understanding of the extent to which student achievement information contributes to self review. Sound and detailed analysis of student achievement data is vital to inform decision making throughout the kura, including governance. Board assurance on legal requirements

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.

ERO identified the following area of non-compliance:

The board and principal identified occasions when students had been stood down. The board has not followed appropriate procedures in the Education Act 1989 for reporting this to the Ministry of Education.

4.1  The board of trustees must ensure that all procedures and practices relating to the stand-down/suspension/exclusion and/or expulsion of any student are implemented in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Education Act, and the Education Stand-down, Suspensions, Exclusions, and Expulsion Rules 1999 and guidance issued by the Ministry of Education.[Sections 13-18 Education Act 1989]

5 Recommendations

ERO recommends that:

The principal and staff review and improve the use of student achievement information.

When is ERO likely to review the kura again?

ERO is likely to carry out the next review in three years.
