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 Kōhanga Reo o E Tū Puritia ki te taha o Te Kura o Noera, ki Kirikiriroa. He kōhanga reo tēnei mō te hapori, ā, e poipoi ana i ngā mokopuna o ngā reanga katoa.
Kei te āta whakapuaki ngā mokopuna i te whanaungatanga, mā roto mai i te papai o ā rātou taunekeneke me ō rātou hononga ki ētahi atu.
E whai wāhi nui ana ngā mokopuna ki tētahi taiao e mau ana i te whakawhanaungatanga whai tikanga. Ka whakatauira ngā kaimahi i ngā uara o te aroha, te manaaki, te awhi, me te tautoko. He pai te taunekeneke a ngā mokopuna ki waenga i a rātou anō, ā, ka kitea hoki ngā hononga ki waenga i te tuakana me te teina. Ka akiaki ngā kaimahi i ngā mokopuna tuākana ki te ārahi, ki te tautoko hoki a tētahi i tētahi i roto i ngā kaupapa ōkawa pērā i ngā karakia, ngā waiata, me ngā mihimihi. Ka tuituia ki te hōtaka akoranga, ko ngā pūrākau, ngā rotarota, me te tangongitanga o ngā waiata, hei whakahōhonu ake i te puna kupu o ngā mokopuna. E mōhio ana ngā mokopuna ki ngā ingoa o ngā awa, ngā maunga, me ngā tīpuna o te takiwā nei. Ka āta whakatau ngā kaimahi i te noho mōhio o ngā mokopuna ki ō rātou hononga ā-whakapapa ki waenga i a rātou anō, ki ō rātou whenua hoki. Ka akiaki ngā taumahi whai pūtake i te ako ngātahi a te tuakana me te teina. Ko te kaha whakamihi me te akiaki i ia te wā ētahi o ngā rautaki e whakamahia ana e te whānau ki te whakatairanga i te ngākau titikaha o ngā mokopuna, me te hāpai i te whakawhanaungatanga. Kei te harikoa, kei te ngākau nui hoki ngā mokopuna, ā, he pārekareka ki a rātou te noho tahi me ō rātou hoa.
Ka whai wāhi atu ngā mokopuna ki ngā wheako me ngā taumahi e whakaongaonga ana i ō rātou ngākau nuitanga me ā rātou akoranga. He muramura, he hihiri hoki te wāhi ako o roto. He māmā ki ngā mokopuna te whakapā atu ki te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo rauemi. Ka akiaki te wāhi o waho i te taha tūhura o ngā mokopuna, ā, ka kitea ngā mokopuna e taunekeneke ana, e mahi tahi ana hoki ki waenga i a rātou anō. E whanake ana ngā mokopuna i te manaaki, te aroha, me te tiaki mō rātou anō, ā, mō ētahi atu.
Kua whakatakotohia e ngā kaimahi ngā tukanga e pā ana ki te whakamahere, te aromatawai, me te aromātai hōtaka. Ka noho mātua rā te ako a ngā mokopuna me te atawhai i a rātou. Ka whakamahere ngā kaimahi i te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo wheako ako e hono pū ana ki Ngā Taumata Whakahirahira. E whai pūtake ana te aromatawai, ā, ka whakapuakihia te ako me te ahu whakamua a ngā mokopuna ki ngā whānau i ia te wā. Hui ai ngā kaimahi i ia wiki ki te whakaaro huritao ki te hōtaka akoranga. Ka whakatau ngā aromātai hōtaka i ngā whakapaitanga ki te hōtaka akoranga. Ka whakatairangatia te waiora o ngā mokopuna me tā rātou ako, nā te matawhānui tonu o te whakamahere, te aromatawai, me te aromātai.
E whakahaere ana te whānau i te nuinga o ngā wāhanga o te kōhanga reo. E whai kiko ana, e whai mōhiohio ana hoki ngā meneti o ngā hui ā-whānau. Ka pūrongohia ngā wāhanga e pā ana ki te whakahaeretanga o te tari me te kōhanga reo. I tēnei wā, e arotake ana te whānau i tā rātou tūtohinga. Kei te whakahoungia, kei te whakamanahia hoki i tēnei wā, ko ngā kaupapa here me ngā tukanga e pā ana ki te hauora me te haumaru. Ka whakaemihia ngā mōhiohio whai hua, ā, ka tuhia ki ngā rēhita e pā ana ki te hauora me te haumaru. Kei ngā mahere rautaki ngā wawata o te whānau mō ngā mokopuna. Ko ētahi o ngā kaupapa matua, ko te whakapai tonu me te whakawhanake tonu i ngā pūkenga me ngā āheinga o te whānau, me te whakatutukitanga o ngā mahi whakapaipai whare, kia pai ake ai te whakatutukitanga o ngā matea o ngā mokopuna. Ka tautuhi te mahere mahi i ngā rārangi wā me ngā tāngata e kawe ai i tēnā me tēnā o ngā haepapa, hei hāpai i te ahu whakamua. Kua whakatakotohia ngā pūnaha e pā ana ki te whakahaeretanga o ngā kaimahi. Kei ngā tuhinga tuku mahi, ko ngā tuhinga tūranga mahi me ngā kirimana mahi i whakaratohia ai e Te Poari Matua o Ngā Kōhanga Reo. E arotahi ana ngā mōhiohio arohaehae a ngā kaimahi ki te whakawhanaketanga o ngā āheinga o ngā kaimahi, ā, ka whai pānga ki te āhua o te whakawhanaketanga ngaio. E whakatakoto ana te mahere ā-tau i ngā mahi whakahaere whānui, me ngā wā anō hoki e tika ana kia whakatutukihia. Ko ngā mokopuna kei te pūtake o te whakatau ngātahi o te whānau i ngā whakaritenga.
E mōhio ana te whānau, ahakoa kua whakatakotohia ētahi wāhanga o ā rātou pūnaha, ā rātou whakahaeretanga me ā rātou whakaritenga, ko te whakapakaritanga ake o ngā tukanga arotake o roto ka hāpai i a rātou ki te whakatairanga ake i te whakahaeretanga whānui tonu o te kōhanga reo. E mōhio ana rātou, e tika ana kia rapu i ngā rongoā ka āta hāpai ake i tā rātou aro atu ki te whakapai tonutanga. Ka whai hua ngā mokopuna mā te whakahāngaitanga o ngā aronga.
Ahakoa e whakapuakihia ana ngā pūrongo pūtea i ngā hui o ia marama, kāhore anō kia oti te pūrongo tātari pūtea mō te tau e mutu ai i te tau 2022. He mea nui kia āta aroturukitia ngā pūtea katoa o te kōhanga reo, ā, kia whakaritea ngā tuhinga i roto i te wā e tika ana hei tāpaetanga ki ngā kaitātari. Ka whai hua ngā mokopuna i te wā e āta whakaarohia ana ō rātou matea mō meāke nei.
Kāhore anō kia whakatutukihia i ia te wā, ko ngā akoako hōneatanga e pā ana ki te ahi me te rū whenua. Me āta whakarite te whānau i te whakatutukitanga me te tuhi haere o ngā akoako hōneatanga ohotata i ia toru marama noa te putuputu, koni atu rānei. Ko te haumaru o ngā mokopuna te mea nui.
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:
te haumaru ā-whatumanawa, tae atu ki te ārahi mauritau me te ārai tamariki
te haumaru ā-tinana, tae atu ki te mātakitaki tamariki, ngā whakaritenga whakamoe, ngā aituā, te whāngai rongoā; me ngā kaupapa here, ngā tukanga hoki mō ngā haerenga whakawaho
te tū tika o ngā kaimahi, tae atu ki te tika o ngā tohu mātauranga, ngā mahi arowhai a ngā pirihimana, me te tatauranga ki waenga i te kaiako me te tamaiti
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.
Hei whakatutuki i ngā herenga ā-ture, me tahuri rātou ki te:
whakarite i tētahi tukanga o te arotake whaiaro, o te aromātai o roto rānei e whakahaerehia ana i ngā wā katoa, hei hāpai i te kōhanga reo ki te whakapūmau me te whakapai ake i te kounga o te mātauranga me te atawhai

I whakawhanakehia e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga me te whānau o te kōhanga reo te taunakitanga e whai ake nei, arā, kia mahi tonu te whānau ki te taha o te tari ā-rohe o Te Poari Matua o Ngā Kōhanga Reo, kia whai tautoko rātou mō ngā take i whakaraupapahia ai ki tēnei pūrongo.

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 E Tū Puritia is located next to Nawton Primary School, Hamilton. It is a community based kōhanga reo that caters to mokopuna of all ages.
Mokopuna express whanaungatanga well through their positive interactions and relationships with others.
Mokopuna experience an environment where relationships are meaningful. Kaimahi model values of aroha, manaaki, awhi and tautoko. Mokopuna interact positively with others and tuākana teina relationships are evident. Kaimahi encourage older mokopuna to lead and support each other in formal activities such as karakia, waiata and mihimihi. Pūrākau, rotarota, and a variety of waiata are integrated into the learning programme to build mokopuna vocabulary. The names of the local awa, maunga and tīpuna are familiar to mokopuna. Kaimahi ensure mokopuna are aware of their whakapapa links to each other and their whenua. Purposeful activities encourage tuākana and teina to learn alongside each other. Constant praise and encouragement are strategies used by the whānau to promote mokopuna confidence and encourage positive relationships. Mokopuna are happy, positive and enjoy the company of their peers.
Mokopuna engage in experiences and activities that stimulate their interests and learning. The indoor learning environment is colourful and inviting. Mokopuna can easily access a range of resources. The outdoor area encourages exploration and mokopuna are observed interacting and cooperating with one and other. Mokopuna are developing values of manaaki, aroha and tiaki for self and others.
Kaimahi have in place planning, assessment, and programme evaluation processes. Mokopuna learning and care are priorities. Kaimahi plan a range of learning experiences that clearly link to Ngā Taumata Whakahirahira. Assessment is purposeful and mokopuna learning and progress is regularly shared with whānau. Kaimahi hui together weekly to reflect on the learning programme. Programme evaluation results in improvements to the learning programme. Mokopuna wellbeing and learning is enhanced because of thorough planning, assessment and evaluation.
Whānau manage most aspects of the kōhanga reo. Whānau hui minutes are detailed and informative. There is reporting across areas of administration and operations. Whānau are currently reviewing their Tūtohinga. Health and safety policies and procedures are in the process of being updated and ratified. Useful information is gathered and documented in health and safety registers. Strategic planning includes the aspirations whānau hold for mokopuna. Key priorities include continual improvement and growth of whānau skills and capabilities and the completion of building maintenance to better meet the needs of mokopuna. The action plan identifies timelines and delegated individuals with responsibilities to support progress. Personnel management systems are in place. Employment documentation includes job descriptions and employment contracts provided by Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust. Kaimahi appraisal information focuses on developing kaimahi abilities and informs professional development. An annual plan sets out overall operational tasks and when these are to be completed. Mokopuna are the centre of collective whānau decision making.
Whānau acknowledge that while aspects of their systems, operations and practices are in place, strengthening internal review processes will assist them to enhance the overall management of the kōhanga reo. They recognise the need to seek solutions that will adequately improve their responses to ongoing improvement. Mokopuna benefit from focussed approaches.
Whilst financial reporting is shared regularly during monthly hui, the financial audit report year ending 2022 remains incomplete. It is important that all kōhanga reo finances are monitored closely and documentation prepared in a timely manner for submission to auditors on time. Mokopuna benefit when their future needs are considered.
Fire and Earthquake drills have not been conducted regularly. Whānau must ensure that all requirements for emergency evacuation drills are carried out and recorded on an at least three-monthly basis. Mokopuna safety is paramount.
During the evaluation, ERO looked at systems for managing the following areas:
emotional safety including positive guidance and child protection
physical safety including supervision, sleep procedures, accidents, medication, excursion policy and procedures
suitable staffing including appropriate qualifications, police vetting, ratios
emergency procedures and practices for earthquakes, fire, flood, tsunami and pandemic.
To meet compliance requirements, whānau must:
ensure there is an ongoing process of self-review or internal evaluation to help the kōhanga maintain and improve the quality of its education and care
[Regulation 46 Education (Early Childhood Services) Regulations 2008; GMA6 Licensing Criteria for Kōhanga Reo affiliated with Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust 2008]
ensure there is an annual budget to guide financial expenditure
[Regulation 47 Education (Early Childhood Services] Regulations 2008; GMA9 Licensing Criteria for Kōhanga Reo affiliated with Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust 2008]
ensure adults providing education and care are familiar with relevant emergency fire and earthquake drills and carry these out with children on an at least three-monthly basis.
[Regulation 46 Education (Early Childhood Services) Regulations 2008, HS8 Licensing criteria for kōhanga reo affiliated with the Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust 2008]
ERO and the Kōhanga reo whānau developed the following recommendation that the whānau continue to work alongside the district office for support with the concerns outlined in this report.

Ka whakahaeretia tētahi aromātai tāpiri i runga o te whakataunga ā te Toihau Arotake 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 E Tū Puritia ki te taha o te kura tuatahi o Noera, ki Kirikiriroa. I tāutu te pūrongo o mua a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i ngā take i hāngai ai ki te hōtaka akoranga, me ētahi āhuatanga o ngā mahi whakahaere a te whānau, tae atu ki ngā take i whai pānga ai ki te hauora me te haumaru. Mai i taua arotake, kua aro atu ngā mahi a te whānau ki te whakatutuki haere i aua take.
E ako ana ngā tamariki ki tētahi taiao e āta whakamana ana i te reo Māori. He tino pakari ngā kaimahi ki te kōrero i te reo Māori. Ka whakamahi rātou i ngā rautaki reo e tika ana, pērā i te whakatauira, i te tāruarua, i te patapatai, i ngā tohu ā-ringa hei whakawhānui i te whakamahinga a ngā tamariki i te reo Māori. E hāpai ana aua rautaki i te ako a ngā tamariki i ngā hanganga reo e whai pānga ana ki ngā horopaki ōkawa me ngā horopaki ōpaki. Ka whai wāhi atu ngā tuākana ki te ārahi i ngā karakia, i ngā hīmene, i ngā waiata, i ngā mihimihi. Ka ako rātou i ngā tongi, ā, he pārekareka anō hoki ki a rātou te pānui me te whai wāhi atu ki ngā whakawhitinga kōrero. Ka ngākau nui rātou ki te tautoko me te ārahi i ngā tēina, me te mahi hoki ki ō rātou taha. E whanake ana ngā tamariki ki te kōrero i te reo Māori.
Tērā ētahi whakapaitanga i whakatutukihia ai ki ētahi āhuatanga o ngā mahi whakahaere a te whānau ki te kōhanga reo. Ka whakamaheretia te hōtaka akoranga i nāianei mā te whakaaro nui ki ngā matea o ngā tamariki. He tino aronga mārama ki ngā mahere hei hāpai i te whakatinanatanga a ngā kaimahi i te hōtaka akoranga. Kua whiriwhirihia e te whānau te hoki atu ki tētahi hōtaka aromatawai ā-ipurangi. Ko ngā mātua e āhei ana ki te whakapā atu ki te ipurangi, ka taea e rātou te whai ā-ipurangi i te ahunga whakamua o ngā akoranga me ngā whakawhanaketanga hoki o ā rātou tamariki, ā, ka taea e ērā atu o ngā mātua tētahi kape ā-pepa nei te whiwhi i te kōhanga reo. Kua whakahoungia ētahi o ngā kaupapa here me ngā tukanga, ā, kua whakaritea hoki te nuinga o ngā rēhita e pā ana ki te hauora me te haumaru.
Kāhore anō ētahi o ngā kaupapa here me ngā tukanga mō te hauora me te haumaru kia arotakengia, mai i te tau 2012. He mea nui kia aro mātua atu te whānau, heoi, kia whakahoungia hoki e rātou aua tūāhuatanga, tae atu hoki ki te whakatinanatanga o ngā mahi e arowhai ana i ngā āhuatanga mōrearea.
Me mātua arotake i te whakahaeretanga me ngā whakaritenga, hei tāutu i ngā wāhanga e tika ana ki te āta hāpai ake mā ngā pūkenga me ngā mākohakoha. I tēnei wā e ārahi ana te kaiako i te hōtaka akoranga, ā, e whakahaere ana hoki ia i ngā whakaritenga i te kōhanga reo. Nā te nui o ngā mahi a te kaiako, kāhore ētahi wāhanga o ngā mahi whakahaere i te tari e whakatutukihia ana. He mea nui, kia whai whakaaro te whānau ki ngā huarahi ka tohaina ake te nui o ngā mahi, kia wātea ai te kaiako ki te aro pū ake ki tōna tūranga matua, arā, ki āna mahi ki te taha o ngā tamariki.
Ahakoa kei ngā whāinga rautaki ngā kaupapa matua i tāutuhia ai mā te whānau, kāhore anō kia whakaritea tētahi mahere mahi hei ārahi i te whakatutukitanga a te whānau i aua kaupapa matua, i tā rātou aroturuki hoki i te ahu whakamua.
Kei te aromātai hōtaka ētahi mahi tonu hei whakatutuki. Me whai tautoko ngā kaimahi, hei whakapiki ake i tō rātou māramatanga me tā rātou whakatinanatanga o te aromātai hōtaka. Ka hāpai tēnei i tā rātou aroturuki i te whai huatanga o te hōtaka ki te whakatutuki i ngā matea o ngā tamariki katoa.
Kāhore te tukanga arohaehae a ngā kaimahi e āta hāpai ana i ngā kaimahi ki te tāutu i ō rātou pūmanawa, me ngā āhuatanga hoki hei whakawhanake ake. He mea nui, kia whakamahia ngā mōhiohio arohaehae hei tāutu i ngā whai wāhitanga e tika ana mō ngā kaimahi i roto i te whakawhanaketanga ngaio.
I whakawhanakehia e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga me te whānau o te kōhanga reo te taunakitanga e whai ake nei, arā, kia:
Ka aromātai anō Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i Te Kōhanga Reo o E Tū Puritia i roto ngā tau e rua.

A supplementary evaluation is undertaken at the discretion of the Chief Review Officer of 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 are to investigate:
Ngā Taumata Whakahirahira – including strengthening the learning programme to engage children and improving the quality of kaimahi practices
planning and evaluation – including programme planning, assessment, evaluation, self review, strategic planning and whānau management
areas of non-compliance – including policies and procedures relating to earthquake and fire drills, sleeping, accidents and incidents, hazards, child protection and behaviour management
and any other issues identified during the course of the review.
Te Kōhanga Reo o E Tū Puritia is located next to Nawton Primary School in Hamilton. The previous ERO report identified concerns relating to the learning programme and aspects of whānau management, including health and safety matters. Since that review, the whānau have worked towards addressing these concerns.
Children learn in an environment where te reo Māori is highly valued. Kaimahi are strong speakers of te reo Māori. They use appropriate language strategies such as modelling, repetition, questioning and hand signs to extend children’s use of te reo Māori. These strategies assist children to learn language structures in formal and informal settings. Tuākana take a lead in karakia, hīmene, waiata, and mihimihi. They learn tongi, enjoy reading and participate in discussions. They are happy to support, guide and work closely with tēina. Children are developing as speakers of te reo Māori.
There have been some improvements in aspects of whānau management in the kōhanga reo. The learning programme is now planned to consider the needs of children. Planning provides clear direction for kaimahi to implement the learning programme. Whānau have opted to return to an online assessment programme. Parents with access to internet are able to follow their children’s learning progress and development while other parents can obtain a printed copy from the kōhanga reo. Some policies and procedures have been updated, and most health and safety registers are in place.
There are some health and safety policies and procedures that have not been reviewed since 2012. It is important that whānau prioritise and update these including the implementation of hazard checks.
A review of management and operations is essential to identify where skills and expertise can be better utilised. The kaiako is currently leading the learning programme as well as managing the operations of the kōhanga reo. As a result of the significant workload for the kaiako, aspects of administration are not completed. It is important for whānau to consider ways to distribute the workload so the kaiako can focus more on her primary role to work with children.
While strategic goals have identified priorities for the whānau, there is no action plan in place to guide whānau to achieve these priorities and monitor progress.
Programme evaluation needs further work. Support is required for kaimahi to increase their understanding and implementation of programme evaluation. This will assist them to monitor how well the programme is meeting the needs of all children.
The appraisal process for kaimahi does not effectively support kaimahi to identify their strengths and areas for development. It is important that appraisal information be used to identify relevant professional development opportunities for kaimahi.
ERO and the kōhanga reo whānau developed the following recommendation:
that the whānau and kaimahi work with the local kaimahi of Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust to address the key next steps identified in this report and to strengthen whānau management.
The next ERO evaluation of Te Kōhanga Reo o E Tū Puritia will be within two years.

Ka 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 E Tū Puritia ki Te Kura Tuatahi o Nōera, i Kirikiriroa. Mai i te tau 2007, kua riro i tēnei kōhanga reo ngā arotake tāpiri.
Whai muri i te pūrongo o mua a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga, kua pai ake te whakawhanaketanga reo o ngā tamariki, te noho haumaru o ngā pēpi, me ngā akoranga. He iti noa te whai wāhi a te whānau ki te whakahaeretanga o te kōhanga reo. Kua tino heke iho te tatauranga tamariki ki te kōhanga reo, ā, kua pā tēnei ki te āhua o ngā tūnga mahi me te pūtea whakahaere.
E ako ana ngā tamariki ki tētahi wāhi e aro matua ana ki te reo Māori. Ka whakarato ngā kaimahi i ngā wheako akoranga ki ngā tamariki hei whakawhānui ake i ā rātou kupu kōrero, hei hāpai i a rātou ki te whakamahi i ngā kupu hou, ā, hei whakamahi i ngā pātai ka whakawhānui ake i ngā whakawhitinga kōrero. E whakawhanake ana ngā tamariki ki te kōrero i te reo Māori.
He wāhi atawhai, he wāhi poipoi tō ngā pēpi, mō ā rātou akoranga. Kua whakaritea te taiao ako hei poipoi i ngā matea ā-tinana, ā-tangata, ā-whatumanawa hoki o ngā pēpi. Ka whakarato ngā kaimahi i ngā taumahi whakahihiri, whakaongaonga hoki mā ngā pēpi. He harikoa, he tau hoki te āhua o ngā pēpi.
Ahakoa kua tau ngā take i hāngai ai ki te whakawhanaketanga o te reo Māori o ngā tamariki, ngā matea ako o ngā pēpi, me ngā tūnga kaimahi – pērā i ngā tuhinga tūranga mahi me ngā kirimana – i pupū ake ētahi atu take i te wā o te arotake.
Kāhore i te riterite te whakamahere hōtaka me te aromātai. Kāhore ngā matea ako o ngā tamariki tuākana e āta whakaarohia ana ki ngā mahere hōtaka. Kāhore anō ngā kaimahi kia whakatutuki i ngā rerekētanga ka whakapai ake i te kounga o ā rātou whakaritenga. Kāhore te whānau e whai wāhi mai ana ki ngā mahere hōtaka, kāhore hoki aua mahere e whakapakari ake ana i ngā ngākau nuitanga kē, i ngā matea rānei o ngā tamariki. I ētahi wā, he takeo te āhua o ngā tamariki i roto i te hōtaka akoranga, ā, ka tahuri atu rātou i ngā mahi.
Kāhore ngā akoranga a ngā tamariki e aromatawaihia ana. Kāhore ngā kaimahi e aromatawai ōkawa ana i ngā tamariki. Ahakoa he pūkete ā ngā tamariki, kāhore aua pūkete e mau ana i ngā mōhiohio papai e pā ana ki ā rātou akoranga. Kāhore i te tino mārama ngā huarahi e whāia ana hei aroturuki i te ahu whakamua o ngā tamariki, i te āhua rānei o te hōtaka ki te whakatutuki i ō rātou matea.
Kāhore te whānau e whai wāhi atu ana ki ngā whakataunga e pā ana ki te hōtaka o ia rā, ki te whakahaeretanga rānei o te kōhanga reo. I te wā o te arotake, he uaua te rapu i ngā tuhinga matua, pērā i ngā kaupapa here, ngā meneti o ngā hui ā-whānau, me ngā mahere rautaki, mahere ā-tau hoki. Ahakoa i kitea ētahi tuhinga, he āhuatanga tēnei i pupū ake i te āmaimai me te rangirua ki waenga i ngā kaimahi.
Kāhore i te rawaka te aroturuki i te waiora ā-whatumanawa, ā-tinana hoki o ngā tamariki. Kāhore ngā kaimahi e aroturuki ana i ngā whakaritenga hauora me ngā whakaritenga haumaru i tohungia ai ki ā rātou kaupapa here me ā rātou tukanga. He mea nui kia tāutu te whānau me ngā kaimahi i ngā kaupapa matua, ā, kia arotakengia hoki e rātou i ia te wā ngā kaupapa here me ngā tukanga, hei whakatutuki i ngā herenga ā-ture ka whakapai ake i te whakahaeretanga o te kōhanga reo. Kāhore e taea te waiora o ngā tamariki te āta whakatau.
He āwangawanga te whakahaeretanga i ngā kaimahi. Kāhore anō kia whakaritea te arohaehae kaimahi. Me whakatinana te whānau i te tukanga arohaehae ka tāutu i ngā matea whakawhanaketanga ngaio o ngā kaimahi.
Kāhore te tari i te kōhanga reo e āta whakahaerehia ana. He mea nui, kia whakatūngia e te whānau ētahi kaiwhakahaere ka hāpai, ka whakahaere hoki i te kōhanga reo. Waihoki, me tāutu rātou i te ārahitanga ka kawe ake i ngā mahi ki te whakapai ake i te kounga o te hōtaka akoranga.
He whāiti te māramatanga o te whānau ki te pūtake o te aromātai o roto. O ngā wāhanga i tāutuhia ai hei āhuatanga ki te whakapai ake, he maha tonu o ērā kua roa nei e noho pērā ana. Kei te pā tōraro ki ngā tamariki te kore aroturuki, te kore arotake rānei a te whānau i ia te wā i:
Ngā wāhanga kāhore e tutuki ana e ai ki te ture
Kua whakawhanakehia e te whānau ngā tuhinga tūranga mahi a ngā kaimahi. He kirimana whiwhi mahi ā ngā kaimahi, ā, kua waitohungia hoki ēnei.
Kāhore tonu te hauora me te haumaru o ngā tamariki, me te whakatinanatanga hoki o ngā mahi arohaehae e whakatutuki ana i ngā herenga ā-ture.
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. Kia tutukihia e te whānau o te kōhanga reo āna herenga ā-ture, me tahuri rātou ki te:
E taunaki ana Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga kia āta mahi ngā kaimahi ā-rohe o te Poari Matua o Ngā Kōhanga Reo ki te taha o te whānau, ki te whakapakari ake i tō rātou āheinga ki te whakatutuki i ngā whakapaitanga ka whakapūmautia.
Ka whakahaere anō Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i te aromātai whai muri o Te Kōhanga Reo E Tū Puritiai roto i te kotahi 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 E Tū Puritia is based on Nawton Primary School in Hamilton. There have been consecutive supplementary reviews of this kōhanga reo since 2007.
Since the previous ERO report children’s language development, safety for babies and learning has improved. Whānau participation in the kōhanga reo management is minimal. There has been a significant decrease in the roll which has impacted on the staffing and the operational budget.
Children learn in an environment where te reo Māori is a priority. Kaimahi provide children with learning experiences to increase their vocabulary, support them to use new words, use questions to extend discussions. Children are developing as speakers of te reo Māori.
Babies have a warm and nurturing place to learn. The learning environment is organised to cater for the physical, social and emotional needs for babies. Kaimahi provide interesting and stimulating activities for babies’. Babies appear happy and comfortable.
While children’s development of te reo Maori, babies learning needs and personnel matters such as job descriptions and employment contracts are no longer concerns other issues have emerged during the review.
Programme planning and evaluation is inconsistent. Older children’s learning needs are not considered in programme planning. Kaimahi have not made changes to improve the quality of their practices. Programme planning does not include whānau contributions or build on children’s interests or needs. At times, children appear disinterested and disengaged from the learning programme.
Children’s learning is not assessed. Kaimahi do not formally assess children. Although there are children’s profiles these do not contain any useful information about their learning. It is unclear how children progress is monitored or how the programme meets their needs.
Whānau do not participate in decision making related to the daily programme or the management of the kōhanga reo. Official documentation including policies and whānau hui minutes, strategic and annual planning were difficult to locate during the review. Although some documents were sighted this created stress and confusion for kaimahi.
Children’s emotional and physical is not adequately monitored. Kaimahi do not monitor health and safety practices as reflected in their policies and procedures. It is important that whānau and kaimahi identify priorities, regularly review policies and procedures to meet legislative requirements to improve the kōhanga reo management. Children’s wellbeing cannot be assured.
Personnel management is a concern. Staff appraisal is not in place. It is imperative that the whānau implement the process of appraisal to identify kaimahi professional development needs.
The kōhanga reo administration is not well managed. It is important that whānau employ a kaiwhakahaere to support and management the kōhanga reo. Furthermore they need to identify leadership with responsibility for improving the quality of the learning programme.
The whānau have a limited understanding of the purpose of internal evaluation. Many areas identified for improvement have remained a concern over a long period of time. Children are disadvantaged as whānau do not regularly monitor or review:
The whānau have developed kaimahi job descriptions. Kaimahi have signed employment contracts.
Health and safety for children and the implementation of appraisal remain non-compliant.
All kōhanga reo are required to promote children's health and safety and to regularly review their compliance requirements. To improve current practice the whānau must:
ERO recommends that the District TKR staff work closely with the whānau to build their capability bring about sustainable improvements.
The next ERO evaluation of Te Kōhanga Reo E Tū Puritia will be within one year.
