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, mā ngā hapū, me ngā iwi.
E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Manurewa ki te hapori o Manurewa, ki Tāmaki-makau-rau ki te tonga. Ko te whakapakari ake i te ārahitanga te whakaarotau o te whānau mō te kōhanga reo. E whakariterite ana te whānau ki te whakanui i te ekenga o tō rātou kōhanga reo ki te 40 tau. Ka whakapūmau te whānau i tō rātou hononga ki Te Whare Takiura, hei hāpai i te whai a ngā uri i tō rātou huarahi ako reo Māori.
I kitea ki te aromātai Mana Whakahaere a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i te Pipiri o te tau 2023, ko te whanaungatanga kei te pūtake o ngā mahi whakahaere a te whānau. Ko ngā pūnaha whakahaere me ngā tukanga whakahaere a te whānau e whakatairanga ana i te hauora me te waiora o ngā mokopuna, me tā rātou ako.
Ka kitea ki ngā mokopuna tō rātou māramatanga ki te whanaungatanga mā roto mai i te papai o ō rātou hononga ki ngā pakeke me ō rātou hoa.
E rumakina ana ngā mokopuna ki te whanaungatanga. E pou here ana hoki ngā uara o te manaakitanga me te aroha i ngā taunekeneke katoa. Ka atawhai ngā kaimahi, ā, he ngāwari tō rātou reo, tā rātou whāngai kōrero, i a rātou e taunekeneke ana me ngā mokopuna. Ka akiaki rātou i ngā hononga e whai pūtake ana, mā te toro atu ki ngā ngākau nuitanga o ngā mokopuna i a rātou e taunekeneke ana. Ko ngā akoranga ōkawa me ngā akoranga ōpaki, pērā i ngā karakia, ngā mōteatea, ngā waiata me ngā haka, e whakatairanga katoa ana i te hopu reo me te ako reo a ngā mokopuna. E ākina ana te whakapuaki a ngā mokopuna i tō rātou mōhiotanga ki te whakapapa o te kōhanga reo mā ngā waiata. Ka kitea ki ngā tuākana tō rātou māramatanga mā ngā kupu me ngā kīanga e kōrerohia ana e rātou, ā, ka whakapuaki ngā pēpi i tō rātou māramatanga mā ngā oro, me te āhua tonu o ō rātou kanohi, ō rātou reo ā-tinana hoki. Kei te tākare te whai wāhi atu a ngā mokopuna ki ngā taumahi ako, ā, he ngahau, he auaha, he pārekareka hoki aua kaupapa. E ako ana ngā mokopuna ki tētahi taiao e whakamana nuitia ana te reo Māori.
Kua taunga ki ngā mokopuna ngā mahinga o ia rā me te hōtaka akoranga i tō rātou whare. Ka whakamahi ngā kaimahi i te tangongitanga o ngā rautaki e whakaongaonga ana, e wero ana, e whakawhānui ana hoki i te māramatanga o ngā mokopuna. Ka ako mā ngā kaupapa, ā, he whai wāhitanga mō ngā mokopuna ki te whakatōpū me te whakapuaki i tēnā i ākona ai e rātou. Ka āta whakatau ngā kaimahi i te ngāwari o ngā whakawhitinga ki waenga i ngā taumahi me ngā wāhi. Nā tēnā, he haumaru, he māmā hoki te whakawhiti haere a ngā mokopuna puta noa i te kōhanga reo. Ka hāpai ngā wāhi ako i te tūhura haere a ngā mokopuna, ā, ka taunekeneke ngā mokopuna ki waenga i a rātou anō, i roto i ngā kaupapa tini. Kei te mauritau, kei te harikoa hoki ngā mokopuna, ā, ka whai wāhi nui ki te whakawhanaunga ki ētahi atu i tō rātou taiao ako.
Ko ngā take i tautuhia ai ki te pūrongo Mana Whakahaere o mua a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga, mō ngā tuhinga kaimahi, te mahere ā-tau, me ngā hōneatanga rū whenua, i manatokotia i te taenga atu a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga ki te kōhanga reo.
E taunaki tonu ana Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga, kia tahuri te whānau ki te arotake i te katoa o ngā kaupapa here me ngā tukanga e pā ana ki te hauora me te haumaru, me te whakaōkawa i te mahere rautaki e whakatutuki ai i ō rātou whāinga pae tawhiti. Ka whai hua ngā mokopuna i te wā e whakaaro nuitia ana tō rātou hauora, tō rātou waiora, me ō rātou matea ki anamata.

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. This report reflects their systems, operations and management practices. ERO’s reports provide important information for whānau, hapū and iwi.
Te Kōhanga Reo o Manurewa is based in Manurewa, South Auckland. The whānau have prioritised strengthening leadership for the kōhanga reo. Whānau are preparing to commemorate the 40th anniversary of their kōhanga reo. The whānau maintain a relationship with Te Whare Takiura to support students toward their te reo Māori learning path.
The ERO June 2023 evaluation of Mana Whakahaere practices found that whanaungatanga was the basis for whānau operational management. Whānau operational systems and processes enhances mokopuna health, wellbeing and learning.
Mokopuna demonstrate their understanding of whanaungatanga through positive connections with adults and their peers.
Mokopuna are immersed in whanaungatanga. The values of manaakitanga and aroha also underpin all interactions. Kaimahi use affection, gentle and nurturing tones to interact with mokopuna. They encourage meaningful relationships through engaging with mokopuna through mokopuna interests. Formal and informal modes of learning such as karakia, mōteatea, waiata, and haka promote mokopuna language acquisition learning. Mokopuna are encouraged to share their knowledge of the kōhanga reo whakapapa through waiata. Tuakana demonstrate their understanding using kupu and phrases while pēpi express their understanding with sounds, facial expressions and body language. Mokopuna enthusiastically participate in learning activities that are fun, creative and enjoyable. Mokopuna learn in an environment where te reo Māori is prioritised.
Mokopuna are familiar with the daily routines and the learning programme within their whare. Kaimahi use a variety of strategies to stimulate, challenge and extend mokopuna understanding. Learning is kaupapa based and mokopuna have opportunities to consolidate and share what they have learnt. Kaimahi ensure smooth transitions between activities and spaces. This ensures that mokopuna can move safely and easily around the kōhanga reo. The learning spaces enable exploration that allow mokopuna to interact with each other in multiple ways. Mokopuna are settled, happy and enjoy positive relationships with others in their learning environment.
Matters identified in the previous ERO Mana Whakahaere report relating to personnel documentation, annual plan and earthquake evacuations were verified during the onsite visit.
ERO continues to recommend whānau undertake a review of all health and safety policies and procedures and formalise a strategic action plan to realise their long-term goals. Mokopuna benefit when their health, wellbeing and future needs are considered.
During the evaluation, ERO looked at systems for managing the following areas:
Action for Compliance
To meet compliance requirements, they must:
ERO recommends that the whānau agree to continue to address the areas of concern outlined in this report.

He kōhanga reo noho tāone Te Kōhanga Reo o Manurewa, ki Manurewa i Tāmaki-makau-rau ki te tonga. Kei te tino māramatia ngā tūmanako o te whānau mō ā rātou tamariki. Kei te hiahia rātou ki te mōhio, ka pēhea rawa tā te kōhanga hāpai i te tuakiri o ā rātou tamariki hei Māori. Ki tā Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga pūrongo, e poipoi ana te hōtaka ako i te tuakiri o ā rātou tamariki hei Māori, ā, hei ākonga anō hoki. Ko ngā whakahaeretanga a te whānau tētahi āhuatanga hei tirohanga ake. Kei te whakapono te whānau, ka whakatutuki haere rātou i aua wero ā kō ake nei.
Ka arotake anō Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i Te Kōhanga Reo o Manurewa i roto ngā tau e rua.
He kōhanga reo noho tāone Te Kōhanga Reo o Manurewa, ki Manurewa i Tāmaki-makau-rau ki te tonga. Kei te whakatā te kaiako, hei whakapiki ake i tōna ora. Nā tana whakamatuatanga he nui ake ngā mahi ki runga i te whānau mō te ārahitanga, te mātanga, te mōhiotanga, me te whakahaeretanga i te kaupapa o te kōhanga reo. Ahakoa ngā wero, e whakapau kaha ana te whānau ki te whakatutuki i aua take. E noho pūmau ana te whānau ki te kaupapa o te kōhanga reo. He nui ō rātou wawata mō ā rātou tamariki, ā, e whakapono ana rātou, ka āta whai pānga nui te kōhanga reo ki te tūmāia ka kitea i roto i ngā tamariki hei Māori.
Mai i te pūrongo o mua a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i te tau 2012, kua heke iho te tatauranga o ngā tamariki e taetae atu ana ki te kōhanga reo, ā, nā tēnei kua rerekē anō hoki te tatauranga o ngā kaimahi ki ngā tūranga.
Ka ngākaunui ngā tamariki ki te ako ki tētahi taiao o te ao Māori.
Ka ngākaunui ngā tamariki ki te ako i tētahi taiao o te reo Māori. Ka whakamahi ngā kaimahi i te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo rautaki ka hāpai i te whakawhanaketanga o ngā tamariki. Ka whakamahi rātou i ngā pātai hei akiaki i ngā tamariki ki te whakapuaki i ō rātou whakaaro, ki te whakawhiti kōrero ki ia tamaiti mō ā rātou akoranga, ā, ka whakamahi hoki i ngā rotarota kia tahuri ai ngā tamariki ki ngā kupu kōrero. Nā ngā karakia, ngā mihimihi, ngā pepeha me ngā waiata, ka rongo, ka kōrero hoki ngā tamariki i te reo Māori mā ngā horopaki e whai pūtake ana. E tupu ana te māia o ngā tamariki ki te whakamahi i te reo Māori.
Ka poipoi ngā wheako ako a ngā tamariki i te tūhura me te auaha. Ka whakaratohia e te taiao o te kōhanga reo ngā whai wāhitanga mō ngā tamariki ki te whakapuaki i ō rātou whakaaro mā te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo taumahi toi, me te whakahua kōrero anō ki te taha o ētahi atu. Ka whakamahia ngā tohu Māori ki te kōhanga reo hei whakatairanga i te ako a ngā tamariki i ngā atua Māori me tō rātou tuakiri hei Māori. Kei te hōtaka o ia rā te maha o ngā rerekētanga me ngā whiringa mā ngā tamariki i roto i ā rātou akoranga. Ka waihangatia ngā taumahi o waho hei whakawero i ngā pūkenga-ā-tinana o ngā tamariki, ā, hei poipoi hoki i te tākaro takitahi me te tākaro-ā-rōpū. He nui ngā rauemi, ā, kua whakaritea ngā mahinga hei hāpai i ngā akoranga a ngā tamariki. Ka tautokona ngā tamariki i a rātou e ako ana.
Ka whakawhanakehia te hōtaka ako a ngā pēpi hei aro atu ki ō rātou matea. Ka whakarite ngā kaimahi i ngā taumahi ako ka poipoi i ngā tamariki kua rua tau te pakeke, kua pakeke ake rānei. E wātea ana ngā pēpi ki te whiriwhiri i ngā rauemi e hiahiatia ana e rātou. Ka whakaratohia ki ngā tamariki tuākana ngā taumahi e whai pānga ana ki te kaupapa ako. He taumahi ā-ringa ēnei e whakatairanga ana i te taha auaha o ngā tamariki. Ka whai pūtake ngā taunekeneke a ngā kaimahi ki te taha o ngā tamariki, ā, he manaakitanga hoki. Ka ako ngā pēpi ki tētahi taiao e whakatairanga ana i a rātou hei ākonga mātau.
He nui te kiko, he matawhānui hoki ngā mahere. Ka whakahāngai ngā kaimahi i ngā mahere ki ngā akoranga a ngā tamariki, ā, ka tāutu i ngā rautaki ka hāpai i tā rātou whakapuakitanga. Ka whakapuaki hoki te whānau i ō rātou whakaaro mō te kiko o te hōtaka ako. Ko te aronga ki te ao Māori e hāpai ana i te tū māhorahora a ngā tamariki hei Māori. Ka whakamahia ngā mahere hei ārahi i te hōtaka o ia rā. Ka whai hua ngā tamariki nā te āta rite mai o te hōtaka ako.
Kāhore ngā hōtaka ako a ngā tamariki e āta aroturukitia ana i ia te wā hei hāpai i te whakapai tonutanga. Kāhore anō ngā kaimahi kia whakawhanake, kia whakatinana hoki i tētahi tukanga mō te whakawhiti whakaaro, te whakapuaki, me te whakarerekē haere i ngā hōtaka ako kia tutuki ai ngā matea o ngā tamariki. Me titiro ki ngā mōhiohio aromatawai e pā ana ki te ahu whakamua a ngā tamariki, hei āta whakatau ki ngā mātua te ako a ngā tamariki. E ākina ana ngā kaimahi kia rapu āwhina, hei whakaōkawa i ā rātou whakaritenga e pā ana ki:
Ko te ako me te ahu whakamua a ngā tamariki ka whakamōhio i ngā mahi ki te whakamahere mō meāke nei.
Me aro hoki te titiro ki te whakamahere rautaki me te aromātai o roto, hei hāpai i ngā whakawhanaketanga o te kōhanga reo ā meāke nei. Kua tae ki te wā, kia tahuri te whānau ki te:
Ka pai ake ngā putanga ako a ngā tamariki.

Te Kōhanga Reo o Manurewa is urban based in Manurewa, South Auckland. The whānau are very clear about their expectations for their children. They were keen to know how the kōhanga reo supported their children’s identity as Māori. ERO were happy to report that the learning programme nurtured their children’s identity not only as Māori but as learners. Whānau operations require some attention. The whānau are confident that they will work through these challenges in the near future.
The next ERO review of Te Kōhanga Reo o Manurewa will be within two years.
Te Kōhanga Reo o Manurewa is urban based in Manurewa, South Auckland. The kaiako is on leave from the kōhanga reo for health reasons. Her absence has created pressure for the whānau with leadership, experience, knowledge and operations about the kaupapa of kōhanga reo. Despite the challenges, whānau are working to address these matters. Whānau are committed to the kaupapa of kōhanga reo. They have high aspirations for their children and believe the kōhanga reo contributes immensely to the confidence their children demonstrate as Māori.
Since the last ERO Report 2012 there has been a decrease of children’s attending the kōhanga reo, which has impacted on the number of kaimahi employed.
Children enjoy learning in a te ao Māori environment.
Children enjoy learning a te reo Māori environment. Kaimahi use a range of language strategies to support children’s development. They use questions to encourage children to share their thinking, talk with individuals about their learning and rotarota to engage children with print. Karakia, mihimihi, pepeha and waiata expose children to hearing and speaking te reo Māori in meaningful ways. Children are developing confidence to use te reo Māori.
Children’s learning experiences foster exploration and creativity. The kōhanga reo environment provides children with opportunities to express themselves in a variety of art activities and retelling stories with others. Māori symbols in the kōhanga reo are used to enhance children’s learning about atua Māori and their identity as Māori. The daily programme provides children with variety and choice in their learning. Outdoor activities are created to challenge children’s physical skills and foster individual and group play. The kōhanga reo is well resourced, routines in place to support children in their learning. Children are supported in their learning.
Babies learning programme is developed to respond to their needs. Kaimahi organise learning activities that cater for children either two years of age or older. Babies are free to choose resources that are of interest to them. The older children are provided with activities related to the kaupapa ako. These are hands on activities that promotes children’s creativity. Kaimahi Interactions with children are meaningful and caring. Babies learn in an environment where they are viewed as competent learners.
Planning is detailed and comprehensive. Kaimahi focus planning on children’s learning and identify strategies to support their delivery. Whānau share their thinking about content of the learning programme. An emphasis on te ao Māori supports children to identify as Māori in a natural way. Planning is used to guide the daily programme. Children benefit from a well organised learning programme.
Children’s learning programmes are not regularly monitored to support ongoing improvement. Kaimahi have not developed and implemented a process to discuss, share and change learning programmes to meet children’s needs. Assessment information about children’s progress needs attention to assure parents children are learning. Kaimahi are encouraged to seek assistance to formalise their practices to:
Children’s learning and progress will inform forward planning.
Strategic planning and internal evaluation require attention to support the kōhanga reo future developments. It is time for whānau to:
Children’s outcomes in learning will improve.
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.
The following require attention;
3.1 Review and implement all health and safety policies and procedures to ensure the protection of children is paramount
[R46ECS2008/HS1,8,12,25,28)
3.2 Implement programme evaluation and assessment processes to monitor the learning programme and children’s learning and progress
(R43ECS 2008/ C1-14)
3.3 Ensure all reasonable steps are taken to provide staff employed, professional support, professional development opportunities and resources through an appropriate appraisal system
(R47ECS2008/GM1-12)
3.4 Establish an annual plan to action the kōhanga reo priorities
[R47ECS 2008/ GMA6]
3.5 Strengthen self-review to ensure that there are improvements to the operations and management of the kōhanga reo.
[R47ECS 2008/ GMA8]
ERO and the Kōhanga Reo whānau developed the following recommendation:
Te Kōhanga Reo o Manurewa is urban based in Manurewa, South Auckland. The whānau are very clear about their expectations for their children. They were keen to know how the kōhanga reo supported their children’s identity as Māori. ERO were happy to report that the learning programme nurtured their children’s identity not only as Māori but as learners. Whānau operations require some attention. The whānau are confident that they will work through these challenges in the near future.
The next ERO review of Te Kōhanga Reo o Manurewa will be within two years.

E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Manurewa ki te hapori o Manurewa, ki Tāmaki-makau-rau ki te tonga. Whai muri i te arotake o mua a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga, kua piki ake te tatauranga tamariki o te kōhanga reo. He mātātoa ngā mema hou o te whānau ki te tautoko i te whakahaeretanga o te kōhanga reo, me ngā whakahaeretanga anō hoki o ia rā. Ko ngā wawata me te noho pūmau hoki o te whānau tētahi āhuatanga e noho matua tonu ana. Kua whakatutukihia ngā wero katoa. Ko te ako tonu a te whānau, ko te whanake ngaio me te tautoko ngaio i ngā kaimahi, e whai pānga matua ana ki te whakapai tonutanga, te tupu tonutanga anō hoki o te kōhanga reo mō ngā tamariki.
E whakaatuhia ana te tino aronga rautaki ā te whānau mō te kōhanga reo, ā, ka māramahia anō hoki e te katoa. Kua whakatū wānanga, ā, nā aua huihuinga kua āta whakamaheretia te huarahi rautaki e anga atu ana ki te tau 2021. Ko ngā kaupapa matua o roto e hāngai ana ki te hauora me te haumaru, te whakahaere a te whānau, me te haere tonutanga o te ako. Ka whakatakotohia anō hoki ki te whakatakotoranga o te angamahi, ko ngā tūmanako e pā ana ki te aromātai o roto me te arotake. Kua tino whai hua ngā wānanga ki te karapinepine i te whānau ki te whakahou ake me te tuhi haere i ō rātou wawata mō ngā tamariki me te kōhanga reo. He pakari ngā pūnaha whakahaere a te whānau.
E ai ki ngā mātua, ka āta tuhia te ako a ā rātou tamariki, e tāutu ana hoki i te tupu me te whakawhanaketanga o ā rātou tamariki, ā, ka whakapuaki ki a rātou ngā mātua i ia te wā. Ko tētahi o ngā tū mōhiohio mō ngā tamariki hei tirohanga mā ngā mātua, ko ā rātou pūkete ako. E ai ki ngā mema o te whānau, e wātea ana rātou ki te pātai me te kōrero tahi ki ngā kaimahi mō te ako a ā rātou tamariki. E tino māramahia ana, e āta aroturukitia ana hoki ngā matea ako o ngā tamariki e ngā kaimahi. Whai muri i te pūrongo o mua a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga, kua tū ētahi atu wānanga, ā, i whānui ake te whakapuaki ngaio i roto i te purapura mō ngā whakaritenga aromatawai papai. Ka mātakitaki, ka tuhi haere hoki i te ako a ngā tamariki.
Kua whakaritea te aromātai o roto a te whānau, tae atu ki ngā mahi ki te aromātai me te arotake i te hōtaka.

Ko ngā kaupapa here me ngā tukanga o te hauora me te haumaru e hāngai katoa ana ki te wā, ā, kua whakatakotohia anō hoki ki te tūtohinga. Kua whakatutukihia anō hoki ngā herenga ā-ture e pā ana ki Te Ture Oranga Tamariki. He mārama ngā tuhinga e tohu ana i te whakahoutanga a te whānau i ia te wā i ētahi wāhanga o te tūtohinga. Kua āta whakawhanakehia, kua āta whakatinanahia hoki te pūnaha arohaehae. He mārama te aronga ki te whakapai ake hei painga mō ngā tamariki me te tupu ngaio tonu i ngā kaimahi.

Ko te whakapai tonu me te tupu tonu te aronga ngātahi o te whānau.
I whakawhanakehia e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga me te whānau o te kōhanga reo te taunakitanga e whai ake nei, arā, kia:

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 area to investigate:
planning and evaluation including strategic plan, internal evaluation, assessment and programme evaluation
areas of non-compliance including appraisal, health and safety procedures and practice
and any issues identified since the previous review.
Te Kōhanga Reo o Manurewa is based in Manurewa, South Auckland. Since the previous ERO review, the roll has increased. New whānau members actively support the management and daily operations of the kōhanga reo. Whānau aspirations and commitment is still a strong feature. All challenges have been worked through. Ongoing whānau learning, kaimahi professional development and support are key to sustained improvements and growth of the kōhanga reo for children.
The whānau has clear strategic direction for the kōhanga reo that is visible and understood by all. Planned wānanga have resulted in a well-planned strategic pathway through to 2021. The key priorities include health and safety, whānau whakahaere, and ongoing learning. Expectations for internal evaluation and review are included in the framework design. Wānanga have been especially valuable to bring whānau together to revise and document their aspirations for children and the kōhanga reo. The whānau management systems are strong.
Parents report that their children’s learning is well documented, regularly shared with them and identifies their children’s growth and development. Information available to parents about children’s learning includes their learning portfolios. Whānau members state they are welcome to ask and talk with kaimahi about their children’s learning. Children’s learning needs are well understood and monitored by kaimahi. Since the previous ERO report, additional wānanga have occurred and included wider professional sharing within their purapura about good assessment practices. Children’s learning is observed and documented.
Whānau internal evaluation including programme evaluation and review is in place. All matters identified in the previous ERO report have been addressed. Health and safety policies and procedures are current and included in the charter. Requirements for the Vulnerable Children’s Act are met. Clear documentation show that sections of the charter are regularly revised and updated by the whānau. The appraisal system is well developed and implemented. There is a clear focus on improvement for children and professional growth of kaimahi. Review expectations and processes are well established and inform whānau whakahaere about the overall performance and development of their kōhanga reo. Continual improvement and growth is a shared focus for whānau.
ERO and the kōhanga reo whānau developed the following recommendation:
Continue to use internal evaluation information to strengthen whānau operations and ensure positive outcomes for children.
The next ERO evaluation of Te Kōhanga Reo o Manurewa will be in three years.
