Ko Rongopai te kōhanga reo
E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Rongopai ki te pūtake o te maunga a Ngongotahā, ki Rotorua, ā, nō te tau 1985 te kōhanga reo i tīmata ai. Kua raihanatia te kōhanga reo mō ngā mokopuna 30, me te tokoono o rātou kei raro i te rua o ngā tau te pakeke i te wā kotahi. Ko tā te kōhanga reo tirohanga, he whakarato i te taiao ako kounga kairangi o te reo Māori, mā roto mai i te kaupapa o te kōhanga reo.
He tau, he māia hoki ngā mokopuna, i a rātou e whakawhānui haere ana i tā rātou whakamahinga i te reo Māori.
Ka ako ngā mokopuna ki tētahi taiao tino whakaongaonga, ā, e kaha puāwai mai ana te reo Māori. Ka whakanuia e te whānau te mātau o ngā kaimahi ki te reo, ā, ka āta whakarite rātou kia whai wāhi atu ngā mokopuna ki ngā horopaki reo ōkawa, me ngā horopaki reo ōpaki. Ka whakamahi ngā kaimahi i te tangongitanga o ngā tūmomo rautaki ako reo, tae atu ki ngā karakia, ngā hīmene, ngā waiata, ngā kanikani, ngā pūrākau, te kori tinana, me te whakaari. Ka whakapakari aua rautaki i te whakahirahiratanga o te reo Māori hei reo ora o ngā akoranga. Ka whakawhānui hoki ngā kaimahi i ngā whakaaro o ngā mokopuna mā tō rātou mōhio ki te whakamahi i ngā pātai whānui me ngā whakawhitinga kōrero. Ka kōkiri ngā tuākana i ngā whakawhitinga kōrero ki waenga i a rātou anō, ā, ki ētahi atu hoki. He ngākau titikaha ō ngā mokopuna ki te whakawhitiwhiti whakaaro, ā, ka ako rātou i ngā pūkenga reo e āhei ai rātou ki te āta whakapuaki i ō rātou whakaaro mā te reo Māori.
Ka noho mātua rā te whanaungatanga ki ngā akoranga katoa. Kei te whakahihiri, kei te ngākau nui hoki ngā mokopuna ki te ako. Ka whakarato ngā kaimahi i ngā wheako ako e whai pūtake ana. He hihiri, he whitawhita, he muramura te wāhi o te kōhanga reo, ā, ka āta whakaongaonga i te kanohi. He nui ngā rauemi me ngā whakaaturanga e hāpai ana i te ako a ngā mokopuna. Ka whakaatuhia ngā taonga i waihanga ai ngā mokopuna, puta noa i ō rātou wāhi ako. E wātea ana ki a rātou ngā rauemi me ngā taonga māoriori. Ka akiaki ngā kaimahi i ngā mokopuna ki te tūhura, te whakatōmene, me te tuku pātai mō ngā tūāhuatanga ka kitea, ka rangona hoki e rātou. Ka āwhina rātou i ngā mokopuna ki te whakatau i te aronga o ā rātou akoranga mā roto mai i ngā horopaki o te ao Māori. He pākiki, he māia hoki ngā mokopuna hei ākonga.
Ko te whanaungatanga kei te pūtake o ngā mahi a ngā kaimahi, i a rātou e whakamahere ana i te hōtaka akoranga, e aroturuki ana i te ako a ngā mokopuna, ā, e aromātai ana i te kounga o te hōtaka akoranga. Ka whai wāhi ki ngā mahere, ko ngā whakaaro me ngā whakapuakitanga o ngā mema o te whānau. He pakari ngā kaimahi ki te tuitui i aua whakaaro ki te angamahi i āta whakatakotohia ai, ā, he ngāwari te whai atu i taua angamahi e whakaraupapa ana i ngā tūāhuatanga waiwai e hāpai ai i te ako a ngā mokopuna me tō rātou whakawhanaketanga. Ka whai wāhi hoki ki taua tukanga, ko te tuhi haere i ngā whāinga, ngā putanga ako, ngā akoranga reo hou, me te tangongitanga o ngā taumahi me ngā rauemi e hihiko ai i te mokopuna, ā, e kapo atu ai hoki i tō rātou taha pākiki. Ka hāngai ngā mahere katoa ki te whakatutukitanga o ngā putanga e whai hua ana ki ngā mokopuna. Ka whai pūtake te aromatawai i te ako a ngā mokopuna, ā, kua āta whakaarohia. Ko ngā mōhiohio i kapohia ai, e āta tohu ana i te ako me te ahu whakamua a ngā mokopuna. Whakaaro huritao ai ngā kaimahi ki te hōtaka akoranga i ia te wā, ā, he mātātoa tā rātou rapu i ngā huarahi e whakatairanga ake ai i ngā whai wāhitanga ako, hei whakatutuki i ngā matea ako o ia mokopuna. Ka whai wāhi atu ngā mokopuna ki tētahi hōtaka akoranga e ahu mai ana i ngā mahere, ngā aromatawai, me te aromātai i āta whakaarohia ai, i āta whakatakotohia ai kia matawhānui. E whai hua ana ngā mokopuna nā te whakarite ngātahi i ngā whakataunga.
E whai hua ana ngā pūnaha me ngā tukanga i whakatakotohia ai e te whānau mō te whakahaeretanga o te kōhanga reo. Ka whakaaweawe, ka whakamōhio hoki te aromātai o roto i ngā whakataunga. Kua āta whakaritea te hanganga whakahaere ā-ohu o te kōhanga reo, ā, e arotahi ana ki te whakapai tonutanga i ia te wā. Ka āta pūrongo i ngā wāhanga katoa o ngā whakahaeretanga o te kōhanga reo, ā, ka āta kitea te kaha o te arotake whaiaro me te whakamōhio i te whānau mō ngā mahi e whakatutukihia ana ki te kōhanga reo. Ka āta whakarite te whānau i te noho matua me te whakatutukitanga o ngā mahi katoa i te tari. E pou here ana te whanaungatanga i ngā mahi katoa i roto i te mahere rautaki. Ko ētahi o ngā rautaki matua me ngā kaupapa matua, ko te reo Māori, ko te whakamana i te whānau me ngā mokopuna, me te whakatairanga ake i te kaupapa o te kōhanga reo. Ka kitea ki te mahere mahi te aronga ki te rōnakitanga mō meāke nei. He māramatanga ngātahi, he whakataunga ngātahi hoki ō te whānau, ki tēnā e hiahiatia ana kia tutuki. Arotakengia ai i ia te wā, ko ngā kaupapa here matua me ngā tukanga matua o te hauora me te haumaru, kia noho mātua ai te aronga ki te hauora me te oranga o ngā mokopuna. Kua āta whakatakotohia ngā tuhinga e pā ana ki ngā kaimahi, ā, e hāngai ana hoki ki tēnei wā tonu. Kua oti te arohaehae, ā, e hāpai ana ngā akoranga ngaio me ngā whakangungu ngaio i ngā kaimahi, kia tupu tonu ai rātou hei tautōhito whai hua. He mārama ngā pūnaha pūtea ā te whānau, ā, he takohanga hoki o roto. Ko te ārahi ngātahi me te whai huatanga o ngā mahi whakahaere, e hāpai ana i te whānau ki te whai wāhi atu ki te whakatutukitanga o ngā putanga e whai hua ai ki ngā mokopuna. Ka whakamahia te aromātai o roto i ia te wā, hei āta whakatau i te whakapai tonutanga. E whai hua ana te whakahaeretanga o ngā whakaritenga a te whānau, hei tino painga mō 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 reports provide important information for hapū and iwi.
Ko Ngongotaha te maunga
Ko Waiwhero te awa
Ko te Rotorua-nui-a-Kahumatamoemoe te moana
Ko Ihenga te tangata
Ko Te Arawa te waka
Ko Rongopai te Kohanga Reo
Te Kōhanga Reo o Rongopai is located at the base of Mount Ngongotahā in Rotorua and was established in 1985. It is licensed to cater for 30 mokopuna, including six aged less than two years at any one time. The kōhanga reo vision is to provide a high quality te reo Māori learning environment within the kaupapa of kōhanga reo.
Mokopuna are comfortable and confident as they extend their use of te reo Māori.
Mokopuna learn in a highly stimulating environment where te reo Māori thrives. Kaimahi are valued by the whānau as fluent speakers who ensure that mokopuna experience both formal and informal language contexts. Kaimahi use a wide range of effective language learning strategies including karakia, hīmene, waiata, kanikani, pūrākau, kori tinana and whakaari. These strategies strengthen the importance of te reo Māori as a living language for learning. Kaimahi also extend mokopuna thinking through the skilful use of open-ended questions and conversations. Tuakana initiate discussions amongst themselves and with others. Mokopuna are confident communicators who learn language skills to express themselves well in te reo Māori.
Whanaungatanga is central to all learning. Mokopuna are motivated and excited to learn. Kaimahi provide meaningful learning experiences. The physical environment of the kōhanga reo is vibrant, lively, colourful, and visually stimulating. There are many resources and displays that support mokopuna learning. Mokopuna creations are displayed throughout their learning spaces. They have access to both physical and natural resources. Kaimahi encourage mokopuna to explore, discover and ask questions about the things they see and hear. They help mokopuna to make sense of their learning in their te ao Māori settings. Mokopuna are curious, confident learners.
Kaimahi work from a basis of whanaungatanga as they plan the learning programme, monitor mokopuna learning and evaluate the quality of the learning programme. Planning includes ideas and contributions from whānau members. Kaimahi skilfully weave these ideas into a well-presented framework that is easy to follow and contains the essential elements to support the learning and development of their mokopuna. This includes documenting goals, learning outcomes, new language learning, and a range of activities and resources to excite and capture mokopuna curiosity. All plans focus on achieving positive outcomes for mokopuna. Assessment of mokopuna learning is purposeful and well considered. Information captured clearly shows mokopuna learning and progress. Kaimahi regularly reflect on the learning programme and actively seek ways to improve on learning opportunities to meet mokopuna individual learning needs. Mokopuna participate in a learning programme that is based on careful and thorough planning, assessment, and evaluation. Mokopuna benefit from collective decision making.
Whānau have effective systems and processes in place to manage the kōhanga reo. Internal evaluation influences and informs decision making. The kōhanga reo has a well-established ohu management structure that is focused on ongoing improvements. Full reporting across all areas of kōhanga reo operations reflect strong self-review and keep whānau informed of what is happening. Whanau ensure that all administrative tasks are priorities and attended to well. Whanaungatanga underpins all actions in the strategic plan. Key strategies and priorities include te reo Māori, empowering whānau and mokopuna and promoting the kōhanga reo movement. The action plan reflects sustainability for the future. Whānau have a shared understanding and agreement of what they need to achieve. Core health and safety policies and procedures are regularly reviewed to ensure the health and wellbeing of mokopuna is prioritised. Kaimahi personnel documentation is current and in place. Appraisals are complete and agreed professional learning and training supports kaimahi to continue to grow as effective practitioners. Whānau have transparent and accountable financial systems in place. Collective leadership and efficient management enable whānau to contribute to achieving positive outcomes for mokopuna. Internal evaluation is utilised constantly to ensure continued improvement. Whānau operations are effectively managed in the best interest of the mokopuna.
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.
ERO and the Kōhanga reo whānau developed the following recommendation:
to continue to support kaimahi developing knowledge and skills to further enhance sound internal evaluation practices and maintain quality outcomes for mokopuna.

E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Rongopai ki te pūtake o te maunga o Ngongotahā, ki Rotorua. Mai i te arotake o mua a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i te tau 2014, kua whakatutuki haere i ngā whakapaitanga ki te kōhanga reo. I tēnei tau, kua whakatūngia ētahi kaimahi hou ki te whakapuaki i ngā hōtaka akoranga. Kua whakahou ake hoki te wāhi tākaro o waho, hei whakatairanga i te taiao ako, ā, hei whakaatu anō hoki i te kaupapa o te kōhanga reo.

Te Kōhanga Reo o Rongopai is located at the base of Mount Ngongotahā in Rotorua. Since the previous ERO review in 2014, there have been ongoing improvements in the kōhanga reo. This year new kaimahi have been appointed to deliver learning programmes. The outdoor play area has also been upgraded to enhance the learning environment and reflect the kaupapa of the kōhanga reo.
Older children are confident and independent learners. Younger children are responsive to positive learning experiences.
Children learn in a caring and loving environment. The daily programme provides opportunities for children to learn and show respect for others. Kaimahi model values such as aroha, āwhina and manaakitanga when they interact with children and each other in the learning programme. Routines and tikanga allow children to develop understanding about their roles and responsibilities to lead, share and value individual differences. Learning about atua Māori and their traits enable children to make meaningful connections through karakia and waiata in different settings. Children enjoy learning in a safe and secure environment.
Children confidently interact with others in their learning. There is a collective approach to developing relationships between children, whānau, kaumātua and the wider community. Kaimahi create moments for children to celebrate special occasions and achievements, to share their whakapapa and pepeha, and to learn about their roles as tangata whenua and manuhiri. Kaimahi regularly sit with children to talk about their day and learning activities. They encourage children to explore the physical environment in play and support them to make good decisions in their interactions with others. Children are happy learners.
Children are developing skills to make choices in their learning. Kaimahi provide a learning programme that caters for the different ages of children in the kōhanga reo. They create activities based on kaupapa ako and adapt these appropriately for the age groups. Individual children use a range of resources that foster creativity and imagination in their learning. There are regular opportunities for children to follow their personal interests and make choices about their learning. The range of activities allow kaimahi to observe different aspects of children’s learning and development. Children’s interest in learning and creativity is nurtured.
Children are confident speakers and communicators in te reo Māori. Whānau and kaimahi are strongly committed to the delivery of quality te reo Māori experiences in the kōhanga reo. Kaimahi use a range of language strategies throughout the daily programme to develop and extend children’s ability to communicate in te reo Māori. All age groups of children are encouraged to share their ideas and thinking verbally, through body language and facial expressions. Karakia, mihimihi and pepeha allow children to hear and model good language structures. The range of waiata enable children to hear creative language. Conversations with children are integrated into the learning programme and allow kaimahi to hear how children speak and express themselves in different settings. Children are capable communicators who learn language skills to express themselves well in te reo Māori.
Children are comfortable to explore the natural and physical environments around the kōhanga reo. Whānau and kaimahi have created an outdoor play area that replicates features of a marae setting. An area with seats has been established for a paepae, where children re-enact what they see at formal marae events. Children have access to a range of resources that are sourced from nature as well as those that are made by others. Kaimahi regularly setup fun outdoors activities for children as part of the kori tinana programme. Children have fun as they interact with and explore the environments of the kōhanga reo.
Children’s holistic development guides the delivery of quality learning. Kaimahi work collaboratively to respond to individual and age group learning needs. Programme planning incorporate kōhanga reo documents and regional wānanga training to enhance the delivery of the learning programme. Kaimahi continue to seek other ways to improve their practice. They use programme evaluation, assessment and individual reflections to monitor the quality of the learning programme. Regular reporting about the learning programme is shared at whānau hui. Individual progress in learning is gathered and shared with parents. The quality of children’s learning is important and prioritised.
Children’s learning and care guides whānau management and planning. The whānau have defined expectations for their roles and responsibilities to support collective decision making. There is a cycle of policy review to fulfil legislative requirements relating to children’s health and safety, and personnel management. The whānau understand their employer responsibilities which they regularly discuss and implement, in particular the appraisal of kaimahi. Reporting and sharing of information keeps the whānau informed about children’s needs and how to improve the quality of learning and care as required. Children’s wellbeing is paramount.
Internal evaluation is used to inform ongoing improvement. The whānau have defined a strategic approach that is based on their identified long-term goals. Annual priorities assist whānau to focus on their critical next steps towards progress and achievement. These priorities are monitored and reported at whānau hui. Te reo Māori development underpins the kaupapa of the kōhanga reo. Whānau have integrated local histories and dialect to strengthen te reo Māori in the kōhanga reo and to increase their own knowledge and understanding. They are solution focussed which is highlighted in their approach to deal with matters of concern in a timely manner. Positive outcomes for children are important to the whānau and kaimahi.
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:
continue to use internal evaluation to identify and implement strategies that consolidate the quality of learning and outcomes for children.
The next ERO evaluation of Te Kōhanga Reo o Rongopai will be in four years.
