View on mapKa whakahaeretia tētahi aromātai tāpiri i runga o te whakataunga ā te Kaitiriwā Toihau Arotake Māori i Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga.
E aromātai ana Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i te whānuitanga me te whai hua o ngā mahi ā te kōhanga reo ki te whakatutuki i ngā take i whakatakotohia ai i roto i te pūrongo aromātai mātauranga o mua atu i tēnei, me ētahi atu wāhanga rānei i tāutuhia ai whai muri o taua aromātai.
Ko tēnei aromātai tāpiri i whakaritea i runga i te aromātai o te whakatutukitanga a te whānau i te whakahaeretanga o te kōhanga reo, ki ngā wāhanga i tāutuhia ai e te pūrongo a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga, i mua atu, me ngā take rānei kua tāutuhia whai muri o taua aromātai. Ko ngā whakataunga mō ngā whakapuakitanga e pā ana ki tēnei aromātai, ko te titiro ki:
E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Matariki ki Ōtoko Pā, ki te taha o te awa o Whanganui. Haere mai ai ngā tamariki ki te kōhanga reo i ia rā, i te tāone o Whanganui. Kua pūmautia te tatauranga o ngā tamariki ki te rārangi ingoa.
Whai muri i te pūrongo a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i te tau 2016, kua whakarite ngātahi te whānau me te marae ki te whakatupu ake me te whakapai ake i te kōhanga reo. Kua tutuki te ahu whakamua ki te whakapakari ake i te āheinga o te whānau ki te whakahaere i te kōhanga reo mō te paetawhiti, a, ki te whakatinana anō hoki i Te Whāriki ki roto i te hōtaka akoranga. Kua whakawhanakehia e te Poari Matua o Ngā Kōhanga Reo tētahi mahere mahi e hāpai ana i ngā whakawhanaketanga o te kōhanga reo, me te whakahāngai i te tautoko ki te whānau. He pou ārahi ngā kaumātua, ā, e whakawhanake ana rātou i te mōhiotanga o te whānau ki te reo me ngā tikanga Māori.
He whakaongaonga ngā wheako ako a ngā tamariki. Ka whakarato ngā kaimahi i te whānuitanga o ngā akoranga e ahu mai ana i ngā ngākau nuitanga o ngā tamariki, ā, e poipoi ana hoki i te tū takitahi me te mahi auaha. Ka kitea te tūmāia o ngā tamariki ki te kōkiri i ā rātou ake akoranga o roto, o waho hoki. Kua whakaritea e ngā kaimahi tētahi wāhi e whakatairanga ana i te rangimārie, te aroha, me te tiaki. He pai te aro atu a ngā kaimahi ki ngā matea o ngā tamariki. Ka ārahi, ka hāpai hoki ngā kaumātua, hei whakawhanake i te reo Māori mō ngā kaimahi me ngā tamariki. Ko te whakatauira me te tāruarua i ngā kupu hou e hāpai ana ki te whakapakari ake i te reo o ngā tamariki. He pārekareka ki ngā tamariki ā rātou akoranga.
Ko ngā ngākau nuitanga me ngā matea o ngā tamariki e ārahi ana i ngā tūmanako e whakamaheretia ana. Kua whakahāngaitia e ngā kaimahi ngā akoranga kia arotahi ai ki ngā tamariki. He mātātoa tā rātou whai wāhi atu ki ngā whakangungu o Te Whāriki, hei whakapiki ake i tō rātou mōhiotanga ki ngā whakaritenga e pā ana ki te whakamahere me te aromatawai. E ārahi ana te kuia i ngā kaimahi, kia pūrongotia ngā whakawhanaketanga ako ki te whānau. E whakarato ana ngā kaimahi hou i ngā taumahi e arohaina ana, e ngākau nuitia ana hoki e ngā tamariki. E poipoia ana ngā ngākau nuitanga o ngā tamariki i roto i ngā akoranga.
He mea nui te whakawhanaketanga i te katoa o te tamaiti. Ka aroturuki, ka tuhituhi hoki ngā kaimahi i ngā āhuatanga e pā ana ki te atawhai, te hauora, me te haumaru o ngā tamariki. Ka tuhi haere rātou i ā rātou whakaritenga o ia rā e whai pānga ana ki ngā aituā, ngā akoako ohorere, ngā whakaritenga moe, me ngā rawa. Ka āwhina te Poari Matua o Ngā Kōhanga Reo ki te whakahou ake i ngā kaupapa here me ngā tukanga o te tūtohinga. E mahi ngātahi ana te Poari Matua o Ngā Kōhanga Reo me te whānau ki te whakapai ake i ngā whakaritenga e pā ana ki te aromātai o roto. E poipoia ana ngā tamariki i roto i tō rātou taiao ako.
I te wā o te arotake, i tāutuhia e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga, kāhore he tangata ki te kōhanga reo e mau nei i te Tohu Whakapakari, ā, kua roa nei hoki ngā tau e pēnei ana. Koia nei anake te tohu mātauranga ka whakamanahia e te Poari Matua o Ngā Kōhanga Reo. E tika ana kia whiwhi te whānau i tētahi kaimahi e mau ana i te Tohu Whakapakari, mō ngā take whakahaere. E mahi ana te Poari Matua o Ngā Kōhanga Reo ki te taha o te whānau ki te whakatutuki i tēnei take.
I whakawhanakehia e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga me te whānau o te kōhanga reo ngā taunakitanga e whai ake nei, arā, kia:
Ka arotake anō Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Matariki i roto i te toru o ngā tau.

A supplementary evaluation is undertaken at the discretion of the Deputy Chief Review Officer Māori in the Education Review Office (ERO).
ERO evaluates the extent and effectiveness of actions a kōhanga reo has taken towards addressing issues specified in its previous ERO evaluation and/or any additional areas identified since that evaluation.
This supplementary evaluation is based on an evaluation of the performance of the kōhanga reo governing body and management in relation to areas identified in the previous ERO report or issues identified since that evaluation. The terms of reference for this evaluation area to investigate:
Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Matariki is at Ōtoko Pa, on the Whanganui River. Children travel daily from Whanganui town. The roll has been sustained.
Since the ERO report 2016 the whānau and marae have agreed to grow and improve the kōhanga reo. Progress has been achieved with building whānau capacity to manage the kōhanga reo for the long term and implementing Te Whāriki into the learning programme. Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust (TKRNT) have developed an action plan to support kōhanga reo developments and targeted support for the whānau. Kaumātua are mentors for developing whānau knowledge of te reo and tikanga Māori.
Children’s learning experiences are stimulating. Kaimahi provide children variety in their learning based on their interests that fosters independence and creativity. Children show confidence to initiate their own learning indoors and outdoors. Kaimahi have created an environment that promotes rangimārie, aroha and tiaki. Kaimahi respond positively to children’s needs. Kaumātua provide guidance and support to develop te reo Māori for kaimahi and children. Modelling and repetition of new words helps to strengthen children’s language. Children enjoy their learning.
Children’s interests and needs guide planning expectations. Kaimahi have realigned learning to focus on children. They actively participate in Te Whāriki training to increase their knowledge about planning and assessment practices. The kuia is guiding kaimahi to report learning developments to whānau. New kaimahi provide activities that children love and enjoy. Children’s interests in learning are fostered.
Children’s holistic development is important. Kaimahi monitor and record the care, health and safety of children. They record their daily practices in relation to accidents, emergency drills, sleeping routines and property. Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust (TKRNT) assist with updating tūtohinga policies and procedures. TKRNT and whānau are working together to improve internal evaluation practices. Children are nurtured in their learning environment.
During this onsite review, ERO identified that there has been no Tohu Whakapakari holder for some years now. It is the only qualification recognised by TKRNT. The whānau require a kaimahi to have Tohu Whakapakari for operational purposes. TKRNT are working with whānau to address this matter.
ERO and the kōhanga reo whānau developed the following recommendations:
Work with TKRNT to support and guide sustainable improvements with management policies and procedures, internal evaluation to inform strategic planning
accelerate capacity and capability of younger whānau to attain Tohu Whakapakari and strengthen te reo Māori.
The next ERO review of Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Matariki will be in three years.

E whā tekau meneti ki waho atu i Whanganui Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Matariki e tū ana, ki te taha o te marae o Ōtoko. Haere ai ngā tamariki i Whanganui i ia rā, mā ngā wēne e whakaratohia ana e te kōhanga reo. Kua roa nei tētahi kuia me tētahi koroua e whakahaere ana i te kōhanga reo. Ka whakawhāitihia te tautoko mai o te whānau nā te tawhiti atu.
Ahakoa he tau ngā tamariki ki te marae, kāhore rātou e whakaatu ana i te tūmāia hei ākonga.
Ka ākona ngā tamariki ki ngā tikanga Māori. Ka whakamahi te kuia i te reo Māori ki te taha o ngā tamariki. E mārama ana rātou, e āhei ana hoki rātou ki te whai i ngā tohutohu. Ka whakauru ngā kaumātua me ngā kaimahi i ngā tamariki ki ngā kaupapa i te marae. Ka whai wāhi atu ngā tamariki ki ngā pōwhiri, ngā tangihanga, me ētahi atu tūmomo kaupapa ki te marae. He motuhake te noho ā-tinana a ngā kaumātua ki te ārahi i ngā tamariki ki te taha tikanga. He tau te āhua o ngā tamariki ki te marae.
Kāhore i te pakari ngā tamariki ki te kōrero i te reo Māori. Ka kōrero ngā kaimahi me te whānau i te reo Pākehā ki ngā tamariki. Kāhore ngā kaimahi e whakamahi ana i ngā rautaki papai, i ngā rautaki ngana hoki ka hāpai i ngā tamariki ki te whakamahi i te reo Māori. Ka whakawhiti kōrero ngā tamariki mā te reo Pākehā.
He kōpipiri ngā tamariki inā ka whakautu kōrero rātou ki te taha o ngā pākeke. Kāhore i te pai ngā taunekeneke katoa ki waenga i ngā kaimahi me ngā tamariki. I te wā o te arotake, i kitea ngā kaimahi e kōrero pakeke rawa atu ana ki ngā tamariki, me te whakawhāiti i ā rātou whiringa tākaro. Ahakoa ka whakamātau ngā tamariki ki te waihanga i ā rātou tākaro i runga anō i ngā tūmomo rauemi e wātea ana, ka whakawhāiti tonu ngā kaimahi i aua whakamātau. He whāiti ngā akoranga a ngā tamariki.
Kāore ngā kaiako e tino mārama ana ki ō rātou tūnga mahi, kawenga mahi hoki hei kaiwhakahaere. Kei ngā kaumātua tokorua te kawenga o ngā whakahaeretanga o ia rā ki te kōhanga reo, ā, he iti noa te tautoko mai o te whānau. Ka whakahaere rāua i te tari, ngā haerenga, te tiaki i ngā papa, me te hōtaka akoranga. Kāhore he mahere ki te whakawhānui i te whānau, ki te whakapakari rānei i tō rātou āheinga, i te tauatanga hoki.
He whāiti rawa ngā mahi ako e whai wāhi ana ki ngā tamariki. Kāhore i te āta rawaka te whakamahere hōtaka mā ngā tamariki. Kāore e whai wāhi ana ngā tamariki ki te whai haere i tō rātou e hiahia ai. Ko ngā pākeke kē e whakaritea ana i ngā taumahi. He iti noa ngā mōhiohio e pā ana ki te ahu whakamua a ngā tamariki. Kāhore ngā kaimahi i te tuku pūrongo ki te whanau e pā ana ki te whakawhanaketanga me te ahu whakamua a ngā tamariki. Kāore ngā matea ako o ngā tamariki e āta tutuki ana.
He whāiti ngā mahi aromātai o roto, ā, kāhore ēnei e hāpai ana i te haere tonutanga o ngā whakapaitanga. Kāhore he mahere rautaki, ā, kāhore hoki te tūtohinga e hāngai ana ki te rā. Kāhore he ārahitanga, he māramatanga rānei tō te whānau mō ō rātou tūranga me ā rātou kawenga mahi. Kāhore anō ngā kaupapa here whānui me ngā whakaritenga o te hauora me te haumaru kia arotakengia, ā, kāhore ngā mahi arohaehae a ngā kaimahi e whakatutukihia ana. Kāhore te whānau e ū ana ki te rawaka o ngā tuhinga e pā ana ki ngā tukanga hauora, tukanga haumaru hoki o ngā tamariki. Kāhore ngā akoako hōneatanga me ngā arowhai hoki o ngā rawa e tuhia ana. E noho mōrearea ana te hauora me te haumaru o ngā tamariki, me ā rātou akoranga.
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. Hei whakatutuki i āna whakaritenga, me tahuri te whānau ki te:
E whakaae ngātahi ana Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga me te whānau o te kōhanga reo, kia toro wawe atu te whānau ki te tautoko o ngā kaimahi o Te Poari Matua o Ngā Kōhanga Reo, ki te:
E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Matariki ki Whanganui. Ahakoa ka ngākau nui ngā tamariki ki te noho marae o te kōhanga reo, kāore ō rātou matea ako e āta poipoia ana. Me tahuri wawe ki te whakatutuki i ngā āhuatanga maha o te whakahaeretanga o te kōhanga reo, tae atu hoki ki ngā kaupapa here me ngā tukanga o te hauora me te haumaru, ngā hōtaka akoranga a ngā tamariki, me te arotake o roto.
Ka arotake anō Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Matariki i roto i te kotahi tau.

Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Matariki is forty minutes from Whanganui beside Otoko Marae. Children travel from Whanganui each day using transport that is provided by the kōhanga reo. A Kuia and koroua have managed the kōhanga reo for a long period of time. Whānau support is hindered by the distance.
While children show they are comfortable in a marae setting they do not do demonstrate confidence as learners.
Children learn about tikanga Māori. The kuia uses te reo Māori with children. Children understand and are able to follow directions. Children participate in pōwhiri, tangihanga and other marae based activities. Kaumātua presence is integral to guide children’s learning about tikanga. Children appear comfortable on the marae.
Children are not confident speakers of te reo Māori. Kaimahi and whānau speak English to children. Kaimahi do not use positive or engaging strategies that support children to use te reo Māori. Children communicate in English.
Children are timid when and if they are required to respond around adults. Interactions between kaimahi and children are not always positive. During the review, kaimahi were observed speaking harshly to children and limiting their play options. While children attempt to create play from the resources available, kaimahi stifle these attempts. Children’s learning is limited.
Whānau are not well informed about their management roles and responsibilities. The two kaumātua have responsibility for the day to day operation of the kōhanga reo with little support from whānau. They manage administration, travel, caring for the grounds and the learning programme. There is no plan for building whānau capacity and capability or succession.
Children’s learning opportunities are minimised. Learning programmes for children are not well planned. Children are not provided with opportunities to follow their interests. Activities are determined by the adults. Information about children's progress is minimal. Kaimahi do not report to whānau about children's development and progress. Children's learning needs are not well met
Internal evaluation practices are limited and do not support ongoing improvements. There is no strategic plan and the charter is out of date. Whānau lack guidance and clarity about their roles and responsibilities. Basic health and safety policies and practices have not been reviewed and appraisal of kaimahi does not occur. Whānau do not maintain adequate records of health and safety procedures for children. Emergency drills and regular property checks are not recorded. Children’s health, safety and learning is at risk.
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. To improve current practice the whānau must:
ensure adults provide education and care to enhance mokopuna learning through meaningful and positive interactions
[R41 Education (Early Childhood Services) Regulations 2008; C1-4 Licensing Criteria for Kōhanga Reo affiliated with Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust 2008]
evaluate the kōhanga reo curriculum to ensure that the quality of learning meets and responds to the learning needs of all children
[R43 Education (Early Childhood Services) Regulations 2008/C1-14]
ensure that the kōhanga reo is effectively managed and administered in accordance with good management practices, Ngā Pou e Whā, Te Korowai and maintain all management requirements for recording, review and reporting
[R47 Education (Early Childhood Services) Regulations /GMA1-12]
review and update all health and safety policies and procedures to ensure requirements for emergency evacuation drills, sleeping, accidents and incidents, hazards, child protection and behaviour management are met and maintained for children.
[R46 Education (Early Childhood Services) Regulations /HS1,8,12,25,28]
ERO and the Kōhanga Reo whānau agree that the whānau seek immediate assistance from regional Te Kōhanga National Trust staff to:
provide an appropriate programme of care and education that meets the needs of all children
improve the quality of whānau management
develop internal review and monitoring systems.
Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Matariki is in Whanganui. Although children enjoy a marae based kōhanga their learning needs are not well catered for. Many aspects of kōhanga reo management including health and safety policies and procedures, children's programmes of learning and internal review need to be addressed immediately.
The next ERO review of Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Matariki will be within one year.
