Ka whai wāhi atu ngā kaimahi, te whānau, me ngā tamariki ki ngā karakia Ringatū ki te taha o te whānau o te kura. Ka taki ngā tamariki i ngā karakia, ā, ka kitea tō rātou māramatanga ki ngā tikanga. Ka kawe atu ngā kaimahi i ngā tamariki i ia te wā, ki te whakanui i ngā kaupapa whakahirahira a te Hāhi Ringatū ki tō rātou marae.
Ka ako ngā tamariki i te whakahirahiratanga o ngā pūmanawa me ngā uaratanga e noho motuhake ana ki Te Whānau-a-Apanui me te Hāhi Ringatū. Ka ako rātou i te whai pānga o te moana hei pātaka kai ki te whānau, mā te hī kahawai ki te awa o Motu. Ka ako ngā tamariki i ā rātou kawenga mahi hei tangata whenua. Ka whakarato ngā kaimahi i ngā whai wāhitanga mō ngā tamariki ki te whakawhanake i ngā pūkenga toiora, puta noa i te hōtaka.

Kua haere ngā tamariki ki ngā marae maha, kua whakapiki rātou i tō rātou maunga, kua tākaro ki tō rātou awa, ā, kua āta whakahonohono rātou ki tō rātou whenua. Ka ako ngā tamariki i ngā pou whenua, ā, me te tū o ngā maunga me te awa hei pou whenua mō tō rātou iwi o Te Whānau-ā-Apanui. E mōhio ana ngā tamariki ki a rātou anō me tō rātou tūrangawaewae.
Ka ako ngā tamariki i te whai huatanga o te whanaungatanga. He pai ō rātou hononga ki ētahi atu i te kōhanga reo me te hapori. Ka whai wāhi atu ngā tamariki ki ngā kaupapa a ngā pākeke, pērā ki ngā hui, me ērā hoki e āta kōkirihia ana e ngā tamariki. He pārekareka ki a rātou te tākaro ngātahi, ā, ka kōkiri rātou i ā rātou ake taumahi. Ka tākaro ngā tamariki ki te papa tākaro, ā, ka whai wāhi nui rātou ki te wāhi o waho, hei wāhi omaoma, hei wāhi pikipiki. Ka kitea tō rātou manawa whakahī ki te whai wāhi nui ki tō rātou whānau me tō rātou hapori. Ka whakarato ngā kaimahi i ngā whai wāhitanga mō ngā tamariki ki te whakawhanaunga ki ngā kaumātua me ngā kuia. Ka rongo, ka whakatinana hoki ngā tamariki i te manaakitanga.
Ka rumakina ngā tamariki ki te hōhonutanga o tētahi taiao reo Māori. Ka ngākaunui rātou ki te whai wāhi atu ki te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo whakawhitinga kōrero ka pupū ake i ngā taumahi ōkawa me ngā taumahi ōpaki. Ko te mōhiotanga me te reo o ngā pepeha me ngā whakapapa e hāpai ana i te noho mōhio o ngā tamariki ki a rātou anō me tō rātou tūrangawaewae. He pakari ngā tamariki, ā, he pai, he tākare hoki tā rātou whakautu kōrero i ngā whakawhitinga whakaaro ki ngā kaiako, ngā kuia, me te whānau. Ka tāwhai ngā pēpi i ngā mahi a ngā pākeke, ā, ka ngākaunui rātou ki te kōrerorero haere ki te taha o ō rātou kaitiaki. Ka whakamahi ngā kaiako i te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo rautaki, tae atu ki te patapātai, ki te akiaki, me te whakatauira, hei whakawhānui i te whakawhanaketanga reo ō ngā tamariki.

Ka whakaemihia ngā pārongo, ā, ka tātarihia hei tohu i te ahu whakamua a ngā tamariki i roto i te reo Māori me ngā pūkenga whanake hoki o ia tamaiti. E noho wātea ana aua mōhiohio ki te whānau. He pai te aroturuki i te ako a ngā tamariki.
He pai te whakahaeretanga a te whānau i tō rātou kōhanga reo. Ka whakatakoto haere te tūtohinga i te aronga nahanaha me te ahu whakamua, kia whakapuakihia ai e te whānau me ngā kaimahi tētahi marautanga ā-hapori e mau nei i te hōhonutanga o ngā hītori o Maraenui me te Apanuitanga.

Whiwhi ai te whānau i ia te wā, ngā pūrongo ki te hui ā-whānau. Ka whai hua ngā tamariki me te whānau nā te aromātai whaiaro. Ko te waiora me te atawhai ō ngā tamariki kei te pūtake o ngā whakataunga katoa ki te kōhanga reo.
Kāhore anō te whānau kia āta whakawhanake i te mahere rautaki me te mahere ā-tau hei āta ārahi i te ahu whakamua o ā rātou mahi whakawhanake. Kāhore e taea e te whānau ō rātou wawata paetawhiti te whakatakoto mō ā rātou tamariki. Me whakamahere rautaki, hei whakatutuki i ngā putanga ako mā ngā tamariki.

Te Kōhanga Reo o Maraenui is in Maraenui on the East Cape. Children are confident speakers of te reo Māori. Children learn in an environment where they are engaged and highly motivated. Children are accustomed to the Hahi Ringatū its discipline and expectations. Children are being well grounded in their Apanuitanga.
The next ERO review of Te Kōhanga Reo o Maraenui will be in three years.
Te Kōhanga Reo o Maraenui is in the East Cape settlement of Maraenui. Many of the whānau whakapapa to the iwi of Te Whānau-ā-Apanui. The Ringatū faith and Te Whānau-ā-Apanuitanga is embedded in the children’s learning programme.
Children are effectively learning and are fully engaged in Apanuitanga
Children learn the value of traditional tikanga. The Hāhi Ringatū is an integral part of the learning programme. Kaimahi, whānau and children participate in Ringatū karakia with the kura whānau. Children recite karakia and show their understanding of tikanga. Kaimahi regularly take children to celebrate the special events of te Hāhī Ringatū on their local marae.
Children learn about the special characteristics and values unique to Te Whānau-ā-Apanui and Te Hāhi Ringatū. They learn about how the moana provides sustenance for whānau through the catching of kahawai in the Motu river. Children learn about their responsibilities as tangata whenua. Kaimahi provide children with opportunities to develop life skills throughout the programme. Children learn to grow, harvest, cook and preserve kai grown in the kōhanga reo gardens using contemporary and traditional methods. Children have visited various marae, climbed their maunga, played in their awa and established a real affinity for their whenua. Children learn about Ngā Pou Whenua and how local maunga and awa act as the boundary markers for their iwi Te Whānau-ā-Apanui. Children know who they are and where they are from.
Children learn the value of whanaungatanga. They have positive relationships with others at kōhanga reo and in the community. Children participate in both adult contexts like hui as well as child-centred activity. They enjoy games together and initiate their own activities. Children play on the adventure playground and utilise the outdoor areas to run and climb. They show pride in being important members of their whānau and community. Kaimahi provide opportunities for children to interact with kaumātua and kuia. Children experience and exhibit manaakitanga.
Children are immersed in a rich te reo Māori environment. They are willing participants in a range of conversations during formal and informal activity. Knowledge and language of pepeha and whakapapa support children to know who they are and where they are from. Children are confident and respond positively and enthusiastically during conversations with kaiako, kuia and whānau. Pepi mimic what adults do and enjoy babbling with their carers. Kaiako use a range of strategies including questioning, prompting and modelling to extend children’s language development. Te reo Māori continues to be the major priority for all that happens for children at kōhanga reo. Children are confident speakers of te reo Māori.
Programme planning and evaluation are effective. Planning is comprehensive and detailed. There are annual, term, weekly and daily plans that highlight content and delivery. Planning includes historic aspects of the kōhanga reo and local area. A variety of activities provide fun and challenge for the children. Kaimahi regularly discuss the programme to determine what works well and what can be improved. These discussions are well documented in kaimahi hui. Children participate in a well planned and reviewed learning programme.
Assessment tasks are clearly aligned to planned outcomes. Individual portfolios are presented well and information is focussed specifically on the development of each child. Kaimahi know their children well and tailor learning to cater to individual children. Information is collected and analysed to show childrens’ progress in te reo Māori and individual developmental skills. This information is readily available to whānau. Children’s learning is well monitored.
The whānau manage their kōhanga reo well. The charter sets out a planned approach and direction for whānau and kaimahi to deliver a local curriculum that is rich in the history of Maraenui and Apanuitanga. Core health and safety policies and procedures and personnel documentation are in place. Kaimahi have completed their appraisals. Whānau receive regular reports at whānau hui. Internal evaluation benefits children and whānau. Children’s wellbeing and care are paramount in all decision making at kōhanga reo.
The whānau has not developed both strategic and annual plans sufficiently to guide their future priorities for development. The whānau are unable to demonstrate their long term aspirations for their children. Strategic planning is necessary to achieve positive learning outcomes for children.
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 recommendation:
Whānau to develop and complete both strategic and annual plans
Te Kōhanga Reo o Maraenui is in Maraenui on the East Cape. Children are confident speakers of te reo Māori. Children learn in an environment where they are engaged and highly motivated. Children are accustomed to the Hahi Ringatū its discipline and expectations. Children are being well grounded in their Apanuitanga.
The next ERO review of Te Kōhanga Reo o Maraenui will be in three years.

E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Maraenui ki te rohe o Te Whānau-a-Apanui, ā, ka whai pānga nui te hāhi Ringatū me Te Whānau-ā-Apanuitanga ki te hōtaka. Ka whakapā atu ki ngā taonga i te ngahere, te awa, ngā maunga, te marae, te moana, me te kura o te takiwā nei, hei hāpai i te noho mārama, te noho maioha hoki o ngā tamariki ki tō rātou taiao.
Ko te kaupapa arotahi mō tēnei arotake, ko te waiora o te tamaiti me te whānau.
Ka arotahi te whānau ki ngā take nui i tāutuhia ai ki tā rātou mahere rautaki. Ko ngā whāinga rautaki ko te whakapakari i te reo Māori, ko te whakapakari i te tamaiti me te whānau, me te whakapakari anō hoki i te kaupapa. Ko te kaha me te whai huatanga o te ārahi, me te kaha tautoko hoki o te whānau e āta whakarite ana i te noho matua o ngā mahi e hāngai ana ki aua whāinga.
Ka arahina te kōhanga reo e ngā kaiārahi pakari, tūtoro hoki. Kei ia tangata ōna mātanga, pērā i te reo Māori me te Whānau-a-Apanuitanga, te mōhiotanga ki ngā whakaritenga marautanga pai, te mātau ki te whakahaere, me te āheinga ki te mahi ngātahi me te whānau ki te kōkiri i te āhua o ngā mahi ki te kōhanga reo.
E noho pūmau ngātahi ana te whānau me ngā kaimahi ki te tirohanga me te kaupapa o tēnei kōhanga reo. E hiahia ana rātou kia pakari ngā tamariki i roto i tamariki i roto i tō rātou mōhiotanga ki te Whānau-a-Apanuitanga. E mōhio ana rātou, ko te mōhio ki te reo Māori, te māramatanga ki ngā tikanga me ngā uaratanga o te hāhi Ringatū, ka hāpai i ngā tamariki ki te tū pakari hei Māori me te whakawhanake ā-wairua, ā-tinana, ā-hinengaro hoki. E hiahia ana ngā kaimahi me te whānau kia tū ā rātou tamariki ā tōna wā, hei rangatira Māori.
Nā te pai o ngā hononga me ngā whakawhitinga kōrero ka whai hua te ārahitanga me te ngākau nui o te whānau. He māhorahora te whakapuaki mōhiohio ki ngā hui a te whānau, a ngā kaimahi hoki. Ka tino whai wāhi ngā mātua me ngā kaumātua ki te hōtaka o te kōhanga reo, ā, he nui tā rātou whai wāhi ki te whakahaeretanga whānui o te kōhanga reo.
Kua waihangatia te hōtaka akoranga kia whai pānga ai ngā whāinga, ngā wawata hoki o te whānau. Ka whakaongaongatia ngā tamariki kia whai wāhi rātou ki ā rātou taumahi, ā, he pakari rātou ki te taiao o te kōhanga reo. Ka ako ngā tamariki ki tētahi taiao rumaki reo. Ka aroturuki ngā tamariki kaimahi i te whakawhanaketanga o te reo Māori o ia tamaiti, ā, ka pūrongotia te ahunga whakamua ki ngā mātua i ia te wā. Ka rongo ngā tamariki i te reo o tō rātou iwi, ā, he māoriori tā rātou whakamahinga i te reo i a rātou e mahi ana, e tākaro ana hoki.
E whakaae ana te Tari Arotake Mātauranga kei te whakahaeretia te kōhanga reo hei painga mō ngā tamariki. Nō reira, ka arotakehia anō e te Tari Arotake Mātauranga te kōhanga reo hei wāhanga o te huringa arotake o te wā.
I mua o te arotake, i īnoitia te whānau o Te Kōhanga Reo o Maraenui kia whai whakaaro ki ā rātou kaupapa motuhake mō te arotake, ā, kia whakamahia ngā aratohu me ngā rauemi i whakaratohia e te Tari Arotake Mātauranga.
Kātahi ka whakaritea ngā tino kaupapa motuhake mō te arotake, whai muri o te whakawhitiwhitinga kōrero i waenga o te rōpū arotake o te Tari Arotake Mātauranga me te whānau. I arotahi tēnei whakawhitiwhitinga ki ngā kōrero i te puritia e te kōhanga (tāpiri atu ki ngā kōrero arotake whaiaro)ā, me te whānui atu o te pānga o ngā take mō te arotake ki ngā hua ka puta ki ngā tamariki o Te Kōhanga Reo o Maraenui.
I whakaritea e te whānau ko tāna kaupapa arotahi ko:
Ko te katoa o ngā arotake mātauranga ā te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i roto o ngā kōhanga reo e arotahi ana ki te kounga o te mātauranga. Ki tā te Tari Arotake Mātauranga, kei roto i tēnei ko te kounga o te:
Ko ngā kitenga ā te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i roto i ēnei wāhanga, kei raro iho nei.
Ko tētahi o ngā whāinga rautaki o te kōhanga reo, ko te whakapakari i te tamaiti me te whānau. Ko tā te kōhanga reo whāinga, ko te whakamana i ngā tamariki me te whānau, kia āhei ai rātou ki te tū pakari, te noho manawa whakahī anō hoki, nā ō rātou taonga tuku iho.
Te ngākau nui ki te kaupapa.He pakari te tirohanga, ngā tūmanako hoki o te whānau me ngā kaimahi mō te kōhanga reo. He mātau rātou ki te kaupapa o te kōhanga reo, ngā tikanga me te reo o tō rātou iwi, me ngā uaratanga, ngā whakaritenga hoki o te hāhi Ringatū. Ka tautoko hoki ngā kaumātua i te kōhanga reo, ā, he puna mōhio tō rātou, he mātanga hoki rātou i roto i aua āhuatanga. Ka ako ngā tamariki i tō rātou iwi, tō rātou reo hoki hei wāhanga o tā rātou hōtaka o ia rā.
Te Whānau-a-Apanuitanga.Ka ako, ka whakahua hoki ngā tamariki i ngā hapū o tō rātou iwi. E mōhio ana rātou ki ētahi o ngā kaupapa hītori i whai pānga nui ai ki te Whānau-a-Apanui. Ka ako ngā tamariki i ngā tino waiata o te iwi. Ka taki ngā tamariki tuākana i ō rātou pepeha, ā, e tīmata ana rātou ki te ako i ō rātou whakapapa.
Te noho mōhio ki te taiao.Ka ako ngā tamariki i ngā rauemi ki tō rātou taiao. Ka whai wāhi nui te ngahere, te moana, te awa, te marae, me te kura o te takiwā ki te hōtaka akoranga. Haereere ai ngā tamariki ki aua wāhi, ā, ka whai wāhi atu hoki ki ngā tūmomo kaupapa, huihuinga hoki e tika ana mō rātou. Ka ako hoki rātou i ngā mahi ki te tiaki i te taiao. E whakawhanake ana ngā tamariki i te maioha mō te whai pānga o tō rātou taiao ake ki tō rātou oranga.
Te reo Māori.E ai ki te whānau, he taonga te reo Māori. He matatau ngā kaimahi me ngā kaumātua ki te kōrero i te reo Māori, ā, he tino tauira rātou mō te whānau me ngā tamariki.
Ka ako ngā tamariki ki tētahi taiao rumaki reo. Ka aroturuki ngā kaimahi i te whakawhanaketanga reo Māori o ia tamaiti, ā, ka pūrongo rātou ki ngā mātua i ia te wā. Ka rongo ngā tamariki i te reo o tō rātou iwi, ā, he māoriori tā rātou whakamahinga i te reo i a rātou e mahi ana, e tākaro ana hoki. He pakari rātou ki te kōrero i te reo Māori ki tētahi taiao e akiaki ana i tō rātou tū Māori me ō rātou whakaaro Māori, me tō rātou whakawhanaketanga ā-wairua, ā-tinana, ā-hinengaro hoki hei Māori.
Ngā hononga.Kua whakaritea e ngā kaimahi ngā hononga papai ki ngā tamariki, te whānau, ngā kaumātua, ngā rōpū ā-iwi, me te kura. Ka ākina ngā mātua e ngā kaimahi ki te mātakitaki me te whai wāhi ki te hōtaka akoranga. Ka noho tahi, ka tautoko hoki ngā kaumātua i ngā kaimahi me ngā tamariki. He tirohanga ngātahi tā te kōhanga reo me te kura, ā, whai wāhi ai ngā tamariki i ia te wā, ki ngā tūmomo kaupapa mahi i te kura.

E mōhio ana ngā tamariki ki ngā tikanga e pā ana ki te karakia tīmatanga o te rā, ā, ka ārahi rātou i ngā karakia, ngā hīmene, me ngā mihimihi. Ka mātakitaki, ka hono atu hoki ngā kaimahi ki ngā tamariki i roto i te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo taumahi, puta noa i te rā. He pai te aronga o ngā kōrero a ngā mātua mō te hōtaka i te kōhanga reo.
I ngā wā katoa, ka aromātai te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i te kounga o te whakamahere me te aromātai ki ngā kōhanga reo hei tātari i te kounga me te whānuitanga o te whānau o te kōhanga reo ki te whakamahere, te whakahaere, me te aroturuki i ngā wāhanga katoa o te whakahaeretanga o te kōhanga reo mō ā rātou tamariki me te whānau.
Ka hāngai hoki te whakamahere me te aromātai ki te whakamahere hōtaka, me te aroturuki i te whakawhanaketanga o ngā tamariki.
Te ārahitanga.Ka arahina te kōhanga reo e ngā kaiārahi pakari, tūtoro hoki. Kei ia tangata ōna mātanga, pērā i te reo Māori me te Whānau-a-Apanuitanga, te mōhiotanga ki ngā whakaritenga marautanga pai, te mātau ki te whakahaere, me te āheinga ki te mahi ngātahi me te whānau ki te kōkiri i te āhua o ngā mahi ki te kōhanga reo.
Te whakamahere marautanga.E hāngai ana te hōtaka o ia rā ki te tirohanga whānui o te marau mō te wā roa, me ngā mahere hoki e pā ana ki te wā poto. Ka hāngai ngā hōtaka ki ngā akoranga me ngā rauemi e whai pānga nui ana ki tō rātou takiwā. Hei tauira, ko ngā kōrero tuku iho a te iwi e pā ana ki te kahawai, ngā maunga, me te ngahere. Ka whakarite ngā kaimahi i ngā rauemi, ā, he tika anō hoki tā rātou whakatakoto haere i te taiao.
Te whakamahere rautaki.He tino tirohanga, he tino kaupapa hoki ā te whānau, hei pūtake o tā rātou mahere rautaki. Ka noho pūmau ngātahi te katoa o te whānau me ngā kaimahi ki ngā whāinga rautaki, ā, ka kitea tēnei āhuatanga ki te whakahaeretanga o te kōhanga reo.
Ngā tohu mātauranga me ngā whakangungu.E ngākau nui ana, e whakaaro nui ana hoki ngā kaimahi me te whānau ki ngā tūmomo whakangungu, whakawhanaketanga ngaio anō hoki ka whakawhānui ake i ō rātou pūkenga, ō rātou mōhiotanga hoki ki te whakapuaki i te hōtaka mā ngā tamariki. Kua whakamanahia ngā kaimahi katoa, ā, he mahere mahi tā tēnā, tā tēnā o rātou, hei whakawhanake ake i ō rātou āheinga. Ka whakatakoto haere i ngā tuhinga e pā ana ki ngā whakangungu me ngā tohu mātauranga. E mōhio ana te whānau, he mea nui te whakawhanake i ngā kaimahi me ngā hua ka riro i ngā tamariki nā tēnei tūmomo āhuatanga.
Te whakahaeretanga a te whānau.He mātātoa te whai wāhi atu a te whānau ki ngā mahi whakahaere a te kōhanga reo. E mōhio ana rātou ki ō rātou tūranga, ā, he tau hoki ā rātou pūnaha ki te whakahaere i ā rātou kawenga mahi.
Te arotake whaiaro.Ahakoa ka whakatutuki te whānau i ētahi arotake whaiaro, ko tētahi tukanga e nahanaha ake ana, ka āwhina i a rātou ki te aroturuki i tā rātou āheinga whakamua i runga i te mahere rautaki, me ētahi atu wāhanga o te whakahaeretanga o te kōhanga reo.

Te Kōhanga Reo o Maraenui is located within the iwi of Te Whanau ā Apanui and the programme is strongly influenced by the Ringatu faith and Te Whānau ā Apanuitanga. The resources of the surrounding bush, river, mountains, marae, beach and local kura are used to help children understand and appreciate their environment.
The focus for this review is child and whānau well being.
Whānau focus on matters of importance as identified in their strategic plan. Strategic goals include strengthening te reo Māori, strengthening the child and whānau and strengthening the kaupapa. Strong and effective leadership and a supportive whānau ensure that actions associated with these goals are given priority.
The kōhanga reo is led by capable visionary leaders. Individuals have expertise in te reo Māori and Whānau ā Apanuitanga, knowledge of good curriculum practice, expertise in management and an ability to work with the whānau to drive up the performance of the kōhanga reo.
The whānau and kaimahi have a shared commitment to the vision and kaupapa of this kōhanga reo. They want the children to be strong in their knowledge of Whānau ā Apanuitanga. They recognise that ability in te reo Māori and understanding of tikanga and the values of the Ringatu faith will help their children to live confidently as Māori and to develop spiritually, physically and mentally. Kaimahi and whānau want their children to be the next generation of Māori leaders.
Positive relationships and good communication contribute to the effectiveness of the leadership and whānau commitment. Information is shared openly at whānau and staff meetings. Parents and kaumātua readily participate in the kōhanga reo programme and make a significant contribution to the overall operation of the kōhanga reo.
The learning programme is designed to reflect the goals and aspirations of the whānau. Children are stimulated to engage in their activities and are confident in the kōhanga reo environment. Children learn in a total immersion environment. Kaimahi monitor each child’s development in te reo Māori and regularly report progress to parents. Children hear the language of their iwi and use it naturally as they work and play.
ERO is confident that the kōhanga reo is being managed in the interests of the children. Therefore ERO will review the kōhanga reo again as part of the regular review cycle.
Te Kōhanga Reo o MaraenuiBefore the review, the whānau ofwas invited to consider its priorities for review using guidelines and resources provided by ERO.
Te Kōhanga Reo o MaraenuiThe detailed priorities for review were then determined following a discussion between the ERO review team and whānau. This discussion focused on existing information held by the kōhanga reo (including self-review information) and the extent to which potential issues for review contributed to positive outcomes for children at.
The whānau chose as its focus area:
All ERO education reviews in kōhanga reo focus on the quality of education. For ERO this includes the quality of:
ERO’s findings in these areas are set out below.
One of the kōhanga reo strategic goals is to strengthen the child and the whānau. The kōhanga reo aim is to empower children and whānau to enable them to be confident in and proud of their heritage.
Commitment to the kaupapa. Whānau and kaimahi have a strong vision and expectations for the kōhanga reo. They are knowledgeable about the kaupapa of kōhanga reo, the tikanga and language of their iwi and the values and practices of the Ringatu faith. The kōhanga reo has ready support from kaumātua who have indepth knowledge and expertise in these areas. Children learn about their iwi and language as part of their daily programme.
Whānau ā Apanuitanga.Children learn about and can name the sub-tribes of their iwi. They know about particular historical events that have impacted on Whānau ā Apanui. Children learn significant tribal waiata. The older children can recite their pepeha and are beginning to learn about their whakapapa.
Awareness of the environment. Children learn about the resources in their environment. The bush, sea, river, marae and local kura play a significant part in the learning programme. Children regularly visit these places and join in activities and events that are appropriate for them. They also learn about looking after the environment. Children are developing an appreciation of how the local environment contributes to their lives.
Te Reo Māori. The whānau speak of te reo Māori as a taonga. Kaimahi and kaumātua are fluent speakers of te reo Māori and are strong role models for whānau and children.
Children learn in a total immersion environment. Kaimahi monitor each child’s development in te reo Māori and regularly report progress to parents. Children hear the language of their iwi and use it naturally as they work and play. They confidently speak te reo Māori in an environment that encourages them to be Māori, think Māori and develop themselves spiritually, physically and mentally as Māori.
Relationships. Kaimahi have established positive relationships with children, whānau, kaumātua, iwi groups and the kura. Kaimahi welcome parents to observe and participate in the learning programme. Kaumātua attend and support kaimahi and children. The kōhanga reo and the kura have a common philosophy and children regularly participate in activities with the kura.
The learning programme. The daily activities are well organised and children know the general direction of the day. The children know the protocols for the opening karakia session and confidently lead karakia, himene and mihimihi. Kaimahi supervise and engage with children in a wide range of activities during the day. Parents comment about the kōhanga reo programme positively.
ERO always evaluates the quality of planning and evaluation in kōhanga reo to determine the quality and extent to which the kōhanga reo whānau plans, manages and monitors all areas of kōhanga reo operations for their children and whānau.
Planning and evaluation includes programme planning and monitoring children’s development.
Leadership. The kōhanga reo is led by capable visionary leaders. Individuals have expertise in te reo Māori and Whānau ā Apanuitanga, knowledge of good curriculum practice, expertise in management and an ability to work with the whānau to drive up the performance of the kōhanga reo.
Curriculum planning. The daily programme reflects the long term curriculum overview and short term plans. The programme themes reflect learning about resources that are important to their local area. For example iwi stories about the kahawai, the mountains and bush. Kaimahi prepare resources and organise the environment appropriately.
Strategic planning. The whānau has a clear vision and strong kaupapa as the basis of their strategic plan. All whānau and kaimahi share a common commitment to the strategic goals and this is reflected in the operation of the kōhanga reo.
Qualifications and training. Kaimahi and whānau are committed and open to training and professional development in order to broaden their skills and knowledge in delivering the programme for the children. All kaimahi are appraised and have a personal action plan to develop their abilities. A record of training and qualifications is maintained. The whānau knows the importance of staff development and the benefits of this for their children.
Whānau management. Whānau are actively involved in the management activities of the kōhanga reo. They know their roles and have sound systems for managing their responsibilities.
Self review.While the whānau undertakes some internal review, a more systematic process would assist them in monitoring their progress against the strategic plan and other areas of the kōhanga reo operations.
Te Kōhanga Reo o Maraenui Before the review, the licensee, whānau and staff ofcompleted an EROKōhanga Whānau Assurance StatementandSelf-Audit Checklist. In these documents they have attested that they had taken all reasonable steps to meet their legislative obligations related to:
During the review, ERO checked the following itemsbecause they have a potentially high impact on outcomes for children:
ERO and the kōhanga reo whānau recommend the whānau
develop a more systematic approach to self review.
ERO is confident that the kōhanga reo is being managed in the interests of the children. Therefore ERO will review the kōhanga reo again as part of the regular review cycle.

ERO is an independent, external evaluation agency that undertakes reviews of kura kaupapa Māori and kōhanga reo throughout New Zealand.
ERO follows a set of standard procedures to conduct reviews. The purpose of each review is to:
Reviews are intended to focus on outcomes for tamariki and build on each kōhanga reo self review.
ERO’s framework for reviewing and reporting is based on four review strands.
ERO reviews do not cover every aspect of kōhanga reo performance and each ERO report may cover different issues. The aim is to provide information on aspects that are central to positive outcomes for tamariki and useful to this kōhanga reo.
Most ERO reports include recommendations for improvement. A recommendation on a particular issue does not necessarily mean that a kōhanga reo is performing poorly in relation to that issue. There is no direct link between the number of recommendations in this report and the overall performance of this kōhanga reo.
