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 whānau, ngā hapū, me ngā iwi.
E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Makaurau Marae ki Tāmaki-makau-rau ki te tonga, hei wāhanga tonu o te marae o Makaurau me te papakāinga. E noho ngākau nui ana te whānau ki te āta whakatau i te whakaratonga o tētahi taiao e aro matua ana ki te reo Māori me ngā tikanga Māori, hei painga mō ngā mokopuna. Ko te mita o Waikato me Te Kīngitanga te tūāpapa o ngā uara ki te kōhanga reo.
Ka kitea ki ngā mokopuna te kaha o tō rātou aronga toi whenuatanga, tō rātou tuakiritanga hoki mā ō rātou wheako ako papai.
E whai wāhi atu ana ngā mokopuna ki ngā akoranga e whakamana ana i ō rātou hononga ki te whānau, ki te hapū, me te iwi. E whakarato ana te marae i ngā akoranga e whakapūmau ana i ngā tikanga, ngā kawa, me te mita o Waikato. Ka whai wāhi ngā mokopuna ki ngā tikanga pērā i ngā pōwhiri, i ngā karakia Pai Mārire mai i te rohe o Waikato, tae atu ki ngā mōteatea me ngā waiata. Ka rongo, ka mātakitaki hoki rātou i ngā karanga me ngā whaikōrero, otirā, i ngā kuia me ngā kaumātua e whakatauira ana i te reo Māori hōhonu o te marae. Ka whai wāhi whakaute ngā mokopuna ki ngā pōwhiri. Ka hāpai ngā kaimahi i te tūhura haere a ngā mokopuna i ngā papa o te marae, hei whakakoia i ō rātou hononga ki te whenua, te taiao, me tō rātou tūrangawaewae. Ka whakapūmau aua wheako i te māramatanga o ngā mokopuna ki ō rātou tūranga me ā rātou kawenga hei kaitiaki o te marae. Ka whakawhānui ngā kaimahi i aua akoranga, ā, ka akiaki, ka tautoko i ngā mokopuna ki te taki i ō rātou pepeha i ia rā. Ka kitea ki ngā mokopuna te tupu haere o tō rātou māramatanga ki tō rātou tuakiri hei uri o Waikato.
Kei te rawaka ngā tukanga a ngā kaimahi mō te whakamahere, te aromatawai, me te aromātai hōtaka. Ka ākina te whai wāhi mai a te whānau ki ngā mahere me te aromatawai mokopuna. E whai pūtake ana ngā mahere, kua āta waihangatia, ā, e hāngai ana ki Te Whāriki a Te Kōhanga Reo, e whakatakoto ana i ngā mahere ā-tau, ā-wāhanga, ā-wiki hoki. Kua āta tautuhia te tangongitanga o ngā taumahi me ngā rauemi ki ngā mahere. Kua kapohia te ahu whakamua me te whakawhanaketanga o ngā mokopuna ki te pae matihiko e kīia ana, ko StoryPark. He matawhānui ngā mōhiohio o roto e pā ana ki te ako a ia mokopuna i roto i te roanga o te wā. Hui ai ngā kaimahi i ia te wā ki te whakawhiti kōrero mō te kounga o te hōtaka akoranga, me te tautuhi i ngā wāhanga hei whakapai ake. E whakatairangatia ana te kounga o ngā akoranga a ngā mokopuna ki te whakawhanake ngātahi, ki te whakatinana ngātahi hoki i te marau.
Kua whakaritea e te whānau ngā pūnaha me ngā tukanga e tika ana ki te whakahaere, te aroturuki, me te pūrongo i ngā whakahaeretanga o te kōhanga reo. Ka āta ārahi te tūtohinga me Te Korowai i te whakahaere a te whānau i ngā whakaritenga ki te kōhanga reo. He pai te taetae atu ki ngā hui o ia marama, ā, ka whakapuakihia ngā mōhiohio, ka tuhia hoki ki ngā meneti e pā ana ki ngā hui. Kua whakatakotohia ngā kaupapa here matua me ngā tukanga matua e pā ana ki te hauora me te haumaru, hei āta whakatau i te aronga pū ki te hauora me te haumaru o ngā mokopuna. Ka āta whakatau ngā kaimahi i te whakatutukitanga o ngā akoako hōneatanga ohotata katoa i ia te wā. I tēnei wā, e kōkirihia ana e Te Poari Matua o Ngā Kōhanga Reo ngā whakangungu hei āta whakatau i te whakatakotoranga o te whānau i ngā tukanga mārama e arowhai ai i ngā kaimahi (GMA7A), ā, e hāpai ai i te tautuhi me te pūrongo atu a te whānau i te tūkino tamariki me te whakahapa (HS31).
Kua whakamōhiotia te mahere rautaki ki Te Ara Tūāpae me Te Korowai. Kei ngā whāinga pae tawhiti ngā wawata o te whānau mō ngā mokopuna. Kua whakaritea e te whānau tētahi mahere arotake whaiaro e aroturuki ana i te ahu whakamua, i runga anō i te āhua o ngā kaupapa rautaki matua. Kua whakatakotohia ngā pūnaha e pā ana ki te whakahaere kaimahi. Kei ngā tuhinga mahi, ko ngā kirimana me ngā tuhinga tūranga mahi a ia kaimahi, me ngā tuhinga e arowhai ai i te haumaru o ngā kaimahi. Ka whakatutukihia te arohaehae kaimahi, ā, ka whai wāhi atu ki te whakawhanaketanga ngaio o ngā kaimahi. Ka tautuhi te mahere ā-tau i ngā mahi whakahaere i te tari me ngā wā hoki e tika ana kia whakatutukihia. Ka whakatau ngātahi te whānau i ngā whakaritenga e whakatairanga ana i te ako a ngā mokopuna, me tō rātou waiora.
E āwangawanga ana te whānau, kei whakamōreareatia te reo Māori o ngā mokopuna ā meāke nei. E whakatau ana rātou, hei whakaū i te reo Māori ki anamata, me whakatakoto i tētahi rautaki e whakakaha ai i te whakamahinga o te reo Māori ki waenga i te whānau, a, puta noa anō hoki i te hapori katoa.
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:
E taunaki ana Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga kia whakatairanga tonu te whānau i tō rātou pakari ki te whakapiki tonu i te kounga o te ako, me ngā putanga ki ngā mokopuna.

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 Makaurau Marae is located in South Auckland within the Makaurau Marae complex and papakāinga. Whānau are committed to ensuring mokopuna are provided an environment that prioritises te reo Māori and tikanga Māori. Te mita o Waikato and Te Kingiitanga are foundational values for the kōhanga reo.
Mokopuna demonstrate a strong sense of belonging and identity through their positive learning experiences.
Mokopuna participate in learning that affirms their connections to whānau, hapū and iwi. The marae provides learning that reinforces tikanga, kawa and dialect of Waikato. Mokopuna participate in the formalities of pōwhiri, the karakia Pai Marire, which is specific to Waikato, mōteatea, and waiata. They listen and observe the rituals of karanga and whaikōrero where kaumātua and kuia model fluency in te reo Māori reserved specifically for the marae. Mokopuna engage in pōwhiri respectfully. Kaimahi support mokopuna to explore the marae grounds to affirm their connections with the land, te taiao and their tūrangawaewae. These experiences, reinforce mokopuna understanding about their roles and responsibilities as kaitiaki of the marae. Kaimahi extend these learnings where mokopuna are encouraged and supported to recite their pepeha daily. Mokopuna demonstrate a growing understanding of their identity as ngā uri o Waikato.
Kaimahi have satisfactory processes in place for planning, assessment and programme evaluation. Whānau input into planning and mokopuna assessment is encouraged. Planning is purposeful, well designed and aligns to Te Whariki ā Te Kōhanga Reo and includes annual, term and weekly plans. A variety of activities and resources are clearly identified in planning. Mokopuna progress and development are captured in the digital platform, Story Park. These include detailed information of individual mokopuna learning overtime. Kaimahi regularly meet to discuss the quality of the learning programme and identify areas for improvement. The quality of mokopuna learning is enhanced through collaborative curriculum development and implementation.
Whānau have established acceptable systems and processes to manage, monitor and report kōhanga reo operations. The Charter Te Korowai, provides clear guidance and directions for whānau to manage the operations of the kōhanga reo. Monthly hui are well attended, where information is shared and recorded in hui minutes. Core health and safety policies and procedures are in place to ensure mokopuna health and safety is prioritised. Kaimahi ensure all emergency evacuation drills are conducted regularly. Training is currently being rolled out by the National Te Kōhanga Reo Trust to ensure whānau have in place clear processes for safety checks of kaimahi (GMA7A) and how whānau identify and report cases of abuse and neglect (HS31).
The strategic plan is informed by Te Ara Tūāpae and Te Korowai. Long term goals incorporate shared whānau aspirations for mokopuna. Whānau have established a self-review plan that monitors progress against strategic priorities. Personnel management systems are in place. Employment documentation includes individual employment contracts, position descriptions and completed kaimahi safety checks. Appraisal of kaimahi is carried out and lead to professional development for kaimahi. An annual plan identifies administrative tasks and time frames for completion. Whānau collectively make decisions that promote mokopuna learning, and wellbeing.
The whānau are concerned that the future of te reo Māori for the mokopuna could be compromised. They agree that to sustain te reo Māori into the future, there is a need to put into place a strategy to increase the use of te reo Māori amongst the whānau and throughout the entire community.
During the evaluation, ERO looked at systems for managing the following areas:
ERO recommends whānau continue to enhance the collective strength of whānau to further increase the quality of learning and outcomes for mokopuna.

E ako ana ngā tamariki i ngā kōrero tuku iho me ngā hītori e pā ana ki te takiwā nei. Ka akiaki ngā kaimahi i ngā tamariki i a rātou e ako ana i ō rātou whakapapa ake. Ka kitea te pākiki haere o ngā tamariki ki te ao, inarā, ki te ao Māori me ō rātou hapori ake. Ka kitea hoki te ngākau titikaha ake, te āheinga ake anō hoki o ngā tamariki ki te tūhura haere i ō rātou taiao tonu. Kei te harikoa ngā tamariki hei ākonga.
He mātātoa te whai wāhi atu a ngā tamariki ki ngā āhuatanga katoa o te hōtaka akoranga. Kua āta waihangatia, kua āta whakaritea hoki ngā wāhi o waho, o roto hoki, ā, he nui hoki ngā rauemi hei whakaongaonga i ngā whakaaro o ngā tamariki. Ka whakarato ngā kaimahi i ngā wheako ako e hāpai ana i te tupu ā-tinana, ā-ahurea, ā-hinengaro hoki o ngā tamariki.

E whiwhi ana ngā tamariki i ngā painga e ahu mai ana i te whai huatanga o ngā mahi a te whānau ki te whakahaere i te kōhanga reo. Ko te kōhanga reo tētahi o ngā whare i te marae. Kua whakakotahingia ngā whakaritenga whakahaere hei āta whakarite i te aro nui ki ngā tamariki me tō rātou noho haumaru, puta noa i ngā wāhi katoa o te marae. Kua whakawhanakehia e te whānau tētahi mahere rautaki e whai hua ana, ā, e ahu mai ana i ngā whāinga o Te Ara Tūāpae, me ngā whāinga, ngā tūmanako hoki o te whānau, te hapū, me te iwi. Ko ētahi o ngā kaupapa matua, ko te reo Māori me te whakamana i te whānau me ngā tamariki. Ka whakapūmautia te katoa o ngā pūnaha whakahaere ki te taumata teitei, kia whiwhi ai ngā tamariki i te kounga o ngā wheako ako, te atawhai, me te aronga nui.

He pakari tā rātou pūnaha ki te whakahaere i ngā pūtea. Whakatutukihia ai e te whānau i ia te wā te arowhai i te āhua o ngā rawa. I ngā wā katoa, ko ngā tamariki kei te pūtake o ngā whakataunga.
Ko te whakawhanaketanga o ngā tamariki, ko tā rātou ako hoki te aronga matua. Ka whakamahi ngā kaimahi i ngā mōhiohio ka puta i te arotake i te hōtaka, i ngā whakaaro anō hoki o te whānau, ā, i ngā ariā e pā ana ki te whakawhanaketanga o te tamaiti, hei hāpai, hei whakatairanga hoki i te ako a ngā tamariki.

Ahakoa te pai o ngā mōhiohio e whakatakotohia ana mō ngā akoranga ā-rōpū, he iti noa ngā tuhinga e tohu ana i te ako a ia tamaiti, i tōna whakawhanaketanga anō hoki i roto i te roanga o te wā. Kāhore te ahu whakamua a ia tamaiti, kāhore hoki ana whakatutukitanga e āta tuhia ana.
I te wā o te aromātai, i whakamātauhia e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga ngā pūnaha o te kōhanga reo ki te whakahaere i ngā āhuatanga i raro iho nei e whai pānga nui ana ki te waiora o ngā tamariki:
Ko te tikanga, ka whakatairanga ngā kōhanga reo katoa i te hauora me te haumaru o ngā tamariki, me te arotake anō hoki i ia te wā i tā rātou whakatutukitanga i ngā herenga ā-ture.
I 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 Makaurau Marae i roto i te toru o ngā tau.

Te Kōhanga Reo o Makaurau Marae is a part of the Makaurau Marae complex and papakāinga in Mangere, South Auckland. The marae whānau and kōhanga reo acknowledge their heritage and links to the Kīngitanga and Tainui waka. There is a strong commitment to the retention of their dialect and importance of hapū and iwi values.
Children learn about mātauranga Māori throughout all learning experiences. This reinforces who they are and where they are from.
Children have opportunities to learn about their Tainui links in meaningful ways. Children hear Waikato dialect and often recite karakia, sing waiata and chant mōteatea that affirm their hapū and iwi links. They attend events and celebrations that acknowledge the Kīngitanga and Poukai. And they participate in events at the marae, including tangihanga, to reaffirm their roles as tangata whenua. Children are developing their knowledge of their ancestral heritage and connections.
Children are well resourced to learn te reo Māori. Kaimahi use various strategies and activities to make language learning interesting for children, such as waiata and kori tinana. Children use te reo Māori during formal learning sessions including karakia, hīmene, and pepeha. They are able to follow complex questions and instructions and reply in both te reo Māori and English. Children are encouraged to take lead roles such as supporting teina during daily routines, and as kaikaranga and kaiwaiata on certain occasions. Children are exposed to te reo Māori in meaningful contexts. This has a positive impact on their language development and knowledge of the Waikato dialect and marae tikanga. Children use te reo Māori with increasing confidence.
Children learn about who they are and where they are from. They have access to all parts of the marae and are familiar with their surroundings. Children learn about stories and histories of the local area. Kaimahi encourage children as they learn their own whakapapa. Children show a growing sense of curiosity about the world, especially te ao Māori and their own communities. Children show increased confidence and ability to explore their immediate environments. Children are happy learners.
Children actively participate in all aspects of the learning programme. The outdoor and indoor areas are well designed, resourced and organised to stimulate children’s thinking. Kaimahi provide learning experiences that support children’s physical, cultural and intellectual growth. Children use natural resources as they work and play. They move happily from one activity to the next and interact appropriately in the indoor and outdoor spaces. Children make choices and decisions about their play and learning. Children follow well-established routines and observe tikanga including karakia and mihimihi. Children are enthusiastic learners.
Children are emotionally and physically confident learners. Children manage aspects of their own care, and sleep and eat according to their needs. Kaimahi provide opportunities for children to develop their physical skills. Children have meaningful contact with others and are active as tuakana and teina. Children experience aroha, manaaki and āwhina. Kaimahi and whānau model and encourage positive relationships with others. Children have opportunities to take up leadership roles including pao and mihi. Kaimahi define positive expectations and guidelines for behaviour. Children appear settled.
Children benefit from the efficient way in which whānau manage the kōhanga reo. The kōhanga reo is a part of the marae complex. Operations and management practices are blended to ensure children are prioritised and safe across the marae complex. The whānau has developed a useful strategic plan based on the goals of Te Ara Tūāpae as well as their whānau, hapū and iwi goals and objectives. Priorities include te reo Māori and the empowerment of whānau and children. All management systems are upheld to a high standard, so that children receive quality learning experiences, care and attention. A range of communication strategies are used to keep whānau informed about kōhanga reo developments, practice, policies and procedures. They have a sound financial management system. The whānau carry out regular property maintenance checks. Children are always a priority in decision making.
Children’s development and learning is a priority. Kaimahi use information from programme evaluation, whānau ideas and child development theories to support and enhance children’s learning. Planning includes daily, weekly and term plans to guide kaimahi practice and ensure the programme is focussed and purposeful. There is strong emphasis on learning through exploration of the local environment, Kīngitanga, Pai Mārire and te ao Māori. Learning activities are carefully selected to stimulate, challenge and extend children. Kaimahi regularly evaluate the programme and their practice to inform how they can enhance children’s learning. Children enjoy learning that is well planned and monitored.
While there is good information kept about group learning, there is little to show individual children’s learning and development over time. Children’s individual progress and achievement is not well documented.
During the evaluation, ERO looked at the kōhanga reo systems for managing the following areas that have a potentially high impact on children's wellbeing:
All kōhanga reo are required to promote children's health and safety and to regularly review their compliance with legal requirements.
ERO and the Kōhanga Reo whānau developed the following recommendation:
The next ERO evaluation of Te Kōhanga Reo o Makaurau Marae will be in three years.

Te Kōhanga reo o Makaurau Marae is in Mangere. Children are highly engaged in learning about their whānau, iwi and hapū. The children are immersed in te reo Māori. They are loved and cared for. These values are prevalent throughout the kōhanga reo.
The next ERO review of Te Kōhanga Reo o Makaurau Marae will be in three years.
Te Kōhanga reo o Makaurau Marae is in the Auckland suburb of Māngere. Children are linked to each other through their whakapapa. The majority of the whānau live nearby. The marae whānau and kōhanga reo acknowledge their heritage and links to the Kīngitanga and Tainui waka. There is a strong commitment to the retention of their dialect and importance of hapū and iwi values.
Children are secure in the loving whānau atmosphere that is prevalent at the kōhanga reo. The whānau are committed to providing the best possible learning environment for their children. The learning programme involves physical activity. Children enjoy laughing, singing, running jumping and playing. Children are happy in the kōhanga reo environment.
Children are highly engaged in learning about their whānau, hapū and iwi.
Children are confident and know who they are and where they are from. They are immersed in the values of their whānau, hapū, iwi. Children know a range of waiata, mōteatea, and history that pertain to Tainui and the Kīngitanga. They can recite karakia from the Pai Marire faith. Children know they are loved and are settled in their environment.
Children are stimulated as learners and are developing as speakers of te reo Māori. They hear te reo Māori spoken constantly throughout the day. Children confidently explore and respond to challenges. They are keen to use new words and language structures. Children enjoy being read to. Children use language to communicate their ideas and feelings.
Children enjoy the shared whānau learning sessions. They are encouraged to stand and recite their pepeha, whakapapa and mihi. They show a growing awareness of their links to their tipuna. The wide range of te ao Māori experiences help children to learn about tikanga Māori.
Children’s physical, spiritual and mental wellbeing is well supported. Well designed health activities are incorporated into the daily programme. Children learn with support by kaiako to become responsible learners. Children’s confidence and sense of wellbeing is developing.
Children are developing good literacy skills. Kaimahi have established a good relationship with the local library staff and they providing resources to support the kōhanga reo learning programme. There is a reciprocal relationship between library staff, the whānau and children. The children are gaining good literacy skills through their involvement in the library.
Children’s learning is supported by effective programme planning. Kaimahi have in place well considered and responsive programme plans that promote Te Whāriki o te Kōhanga Reo in positive and stimulating ways. The whānau contribute to the design and content of these plans. Plans strongly reflect learning te reo Māori me ona tīkanga in the context of the marae, whānau, hapū, iwi and Kīngitanga.
The children’s learning environment is reviewed regularly at whānau hui. Reports on children’s health and safety are discussed and recorded. Policies and procedures are regularly reviewed. The children’s wellbeing is supported through strong whānau self-review.
Whānau have developed a clear strategic plan to support positive outcomes for children. Useful objectives, goals and targets have been set. A review cycle is also a part of the strategic plan. Children’s education outcomes and whānau priorities are the focus of whānau planning and monitoring practices.
The evaluation of the learning programme is not formally recorded. Kaimahi acknowledge the usefulness of formal programme evaluation processes to inform improvements in the programme.
Children’s learning is not well supported by sound assessment of their learning. There is no formal assessment programme. Children will benefit from appropriate assessment to inform plans for their future learning.
During the review, ERO looked at the kōhanga reo systems for managing the following areas that have a potentially high impact on children's wellbeing:
All kōhanga reo are required to promote children's health and safety and to regularly review their compliance with legal requirements.
ERO and the Kōhanga Reo whānau developed the following recommendations:
