View on mapKua mahi ngātahi Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga, ngā whānau, ngā kaiārahi, ngā kaimahi me ngā hapori ki te whakawhanake i ngā tirohanga aromātai e whai wāhi nui ai ki te hāpai i te kawenga takohanga me te whakapaitanga, ki te tautuhi i te ahu whakamua, ā, ki te whakapakari ake hoki i te āheinga ki te aromātai. Ka whakarato ngā pūrongo a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i ngā mōhiohio mātuatua mā ngā hapū me ngā iwi.
E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Rau o Te Oriwa ki te hapori tuawhenua o Raupunga, e pā tata atu ana ki Wairoa. Ko Ngāti Pāhauwera te hapū. He tino hononga ō te whānau ki te marae me te kōhanga reo. I tēnei wā, kei te whakatutuki haere ngā kaimahi i ngā akoranga o Te Kōhanga Reo, kia riro i a rātou te Tohu Whakapakari.
He ngākau titikaha ō ngā mokopuna ki te whai wāhi nui ki ā rātou wheako ako, ā, he pārekareka ki a rātou.
Ka whai wāhi nui ngā mokopuna ki te kōhanga reo, ā, kei te kaha tautokona rātou e ngā pakeke. Ka whakatairanga ngā kaimahi i ngā uara o te manaaki, te tiaki, me te aroha. Ko te wāhanga ōkawa o te hōtaka, he wā ki te whakatau i ngā mokopuna mō te rā kei mua i a rātou. Ka toro atu ngā kaimahi ki te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo rautaki e whakapakari ai i ngā puna kupu o ngā mokopuna, me tā rātou whakamahinga o te reo Māori. Ko ētahi o aua rautaki, ko te patapatai, ko te whāngai kupu, me te tāruarua. Ka whakamihi, ka akiaki ngā kaimahi i ia te wā, hei rautaki ki te whakatairanga i te ngākau titikaha o ngā mokopuna. Ko ngā taumahi ngahau, pērā i te peita, te kanikani, me te waiata, ka akiaki i ngā tuākana me ngā tēina ki te ako ngātahi. Ka tū ngā tuākana hei tauira mō ō rātou tēina, ā, ko tā te teina he tāwhai, he whai atu hoki i ngā mahi a te tuakana. He tākare te whai wāhi atu a ngā mokopuna ki ā rātou akoranga.
Kei te tino mōhio ngā mokopuna ki tō rātou taiao. Ka whakarato ngā kaimahi i ngā wheako ako e hāpai ana i ngā mokopuna ki te whai i ō rātou ake ngākau nuitanga. He māmā tā rātou whakawhitiwhiti haere ki ngā wāhi ako. Kua āta whakaritea ngā mahinga, ā, kua āta tau te whakatakotoranga ki ngā mokopuna. Ka whakamahi ngā kaimahi i te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo taumahi hei whakaongaonga, hei wero hoki i ngā mokopuna. Ko ētahi o aua taumahi, ko ngā rākau Ataarangi, me te whakamahinga o ngā taonga māoriori. Kua āta whakaritea ngā wāhi ako o roto, ā, ka whakatairanga i te ako ā-rōpū. Ka hāpai te wāhi o waho i te kawe atu a ngā mokopuna i ā rātou ake akoranga. Kei te harikoa, kei te mauritau hoki te āhua o ngā mokopuna ki tō rātou taiao ako.
E whai pūtake ana ngā mahere me ngā aromatawai, ā, kua āta whakaritea hoki. Ka whakamahere ngātahi ngā kaimahi. Ka whakaatuhia ngā mahere ā-tau, ā-wāhanga, ā-wiki hoki. E whakatakoto ana aua mahere i ngā mōhiohio e pā ana ki ngā kaupapa ako me ngā rauemi, ā, ka tautuhi hoki i ngā putanga ako a ngā mokopuna. Ka hāngai ngā pūkete a ngā mokopuna ki tēnā e ākona ana e rātou, tae atu hoki ki tā rātou ahu whakamua. Ka whakamōhiotia te whānau ki te ahu whakamua a ngā mokopuna, ā, he whai wāhitanga anō hoki mō rātou ki te tuku kōrero atu mō ngā aromatawai e pā ana ki ā rātou tamariki. E hāpaitia ana ngā mokopuna i roto i ā rātou akoranga.
He pūnaha ā te whānau mō te whakahaere i ngā whakaritenga o te kōhanga reo. E tupu haere ana te whai wāhi atu ki ngā hui ā-whānau. He riterite te tuhi haere me te pūrongo, ā, he mōhiohio hoki o roto i ngā meneti o ngā hui. Arotakengia ai ngā kaupapa here me ngā tukanga i ia te wā, ā, ka hāngai hoki ērā ki ngā herenga ā-ture o tēnei wā. Ka tohu ngā rēhita o te hauora me te haumaru i te aronga nui ki te waiora o ngā mokopuna.
Kei te tūtohinga te aronga me te ārahitanga mārama, mō te whakahaeretanga i ngā whakaritenga o te kōhanga reo. Ka whakatinanahia te mahere rautaki ki Te Ara Tūāpae. He aronga ki te tupu tonu me te whakapai tonu. E whakatakoto ana te mahere mahi i ngā kaupapa matua me ngā rārangi wā i tautuhia ai. E whakahaerehia ana ngā take kaimahi. Kei ngā tuhinga whiwhi mahi a ngā kaimahi, ko ngā kirimana me ngā tuhinga tūranga mahi. Kua oti ngā arohaehae, ā, he aronga pūmau ki te whakawhanaketanga ngaio o ngā kaimahi. Ka whakahaere ngātahi te whānau i te kōhanga reo.
Tū ai ngā hui a ngā kaimahi i ia te wā, engari kāhore ngā kōrerorero e tuhia ana. He mea nui kia whakatakoto ā-tuhi ngā kaimahi i tēnā i whai hua ai ki te hōtaka i whakamaheretia, i tēnā hoki kīhai i whai hua, ā, i ngā āhuatanga tonu hei whakapai ake. Ka whakapakari taua mahi i te aromātai hōtaka me te kiko o roto, ā, ka poipoi atu hoki i ngā matea o ngā mokopuna.
I te wā o te arotake, i tirohia e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga ngā pūnaha ki te whakahaere i ngā wāhanga e whai ake nei, arā, ki:
te haumaru ā-whatumanawa, tae atu ki te ārahi mauritau me te ārai tamariki
te haumaru ā-tinana, tae atu ki te mātakitaki tamariki, ngā whakaritenga whakamoe, ngā aituā, te whāngai rongoā; me ngā kaupapa here, ngā tukanga hoki mō ngā haerenga whakawaho
te tū tika o ngā kaimahi, tae atu ki te tika o ngā tohu mātauranga, ngā mahi arowhai a ngā pirihimana, me te tatauranga ki waenga i te kaiako me te tamaiti
ngā whakaritenga ohotata me ngā tikanga ohotata e pā ana ki te rū whenua, te ahi, te waipuke, te tai āniwhaniwha, me te mate urutā.
I whakawhanakehia e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga me te whānau o te kōhanga reo te taunakitanga e whai ake nei, arā, kia:
mahi tonu te whānau ki te taha o te tari ā-rohe o Te Poari Matua o Ngā Kōhanga Reo, kia whai tautoko rātou i roto i te aromātai hōtaka.

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 whānau, hapū and iwi.
Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Rau o Te Oriwa is located in the rural community of Raupunga, near Wairoa. Ngāti Pāhauwera is the local hapū. Whānau have strong links to the local marae and the kōhanga reo. Kaimahi are currently undertaking Te Kōhanga Reo courses to obtain Te Tohu Whakapakari.
Mokopuna confidently participate and enjoy their learning experiences.
Mokopuna enjoy an environment where they are supported by adults. Kaimahi promote the values of manaaki, tiaki and aroha. The formal part of the programme is a time to settle mokopuna for the day. Kaimahi draw on a range of strategies to build mokopuna vocabulary and use of te reo Māori. These include questions, prompts and repetition. Constant praise and encouragement are strategies used by kaimahi to promote mokopuna confidence. Fun activities such as painting, dancing, and singing encourage tuākana and teina to learn alongside each other. Tuākana are role models for their teina who like to mimic and follow closely the actions of their tuākana. Mokopuna are eager participants in their learning.
Mokopuna know their environment well. Kaimahi provide learning experiences that allow mokopuna to follow their interests. They move easily between learning spaces. Routines are established and predictable for mokopuna. Kaimahi use a range of activities to stimulate and challenge mokopuna. These include the coloured rods and the use of natural resources. The indoor learning areas are organised and promote group learning. The outdoor space enables mokopuna to take responsibility for their own learning. Mokopuna appear happy and settled in their learning environment.
Planning and assessment is purposeful and organised. Kaimahi plan collaboratively. The year, term and weekly plans are displayed. These provide information about the kaupapa ako, resourcing and identifying learning outcomes for mokopuna. Mokopuna profiles reflect what mokopuna are learning and their progress. Whānau are informed about mokopuna progress and have opportunities to comment on their mokopuna assessment. Mokopuna are supported in their learning.
The whānau has systems in place to manage the operations of the kōhanga reo. Participation at whānau hui is growing. Recording and reporting is consistent and hui minutes are informative. Policies and procedures are regularly reviewed and align to current legislation. Health and safety registers reflect mokopuna wellbeing is a priority.
The tūtohinga provides clear direction and guidance for managing the kōhanga reo operations. The strategic plan is informed by Te Ara Tūāpae. There is a focus of continued growth and improvement. An action plan defines identified priorities and timelines. Personnel matters are managed. Kaimahi employment documentation includes contracts and job descriptions. Appraisals are complete with an ongoing focus of professional development for kaimahi. Whānau collectively manage the kōhanga reo.
Kaimahi hold regular hui however these discussions are not documented. It is essential for kaimahi to document what was successful in the planned programme, what did not work and what needs to be improved. This will strengthen programme evaluation and content while responding to the needs of 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:
that whānau continue to work alongside the district office for support with programme evaluation.

E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Rau o Te Ōriwa ki te hapori tuawhenua tonu o Raupunga, e pā tata atu ana ki Wairoa. Ko Ngāti Pāhauwera te hapū, ā, he hononga atu ana ki ngā marae e toru o te takiwā nei, me te kōhanga reo. Kua kī te tatauranga tamariki o te kōhanga reo ki ngā tamariki 17 i te rārangi ingoa, ā, he rārangi tatari anō hoki ināianei. Whai muri i te arotake o mua a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga, kua pā ētahi rerekētanga ki ngā tūnga kaimahi, heoi, kei te tau haere ngā kaimahi ki ō rātou tūranga hou.
He pakari te whai wāhi atu a ngā tamariki ki te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo horopaki o roto o Ngāti Pāhauwera.
E whakamanahia ana ngā tamariki hei uri o Ngāti Pāhauwera. Ka whakatairanga ngā kaimahi i ngā tātai whakapapa o ngā tamariki ki tō rātou ao i tukuna iho ai. Haere ai ngā tamariki ki ō rātou marae, ā, ka whai wāhi atu hoki ki te taha o ō rātou whānau hei tangata whenua. Ka ako ngā tamariki i ngā whakapapa me ō rātou hononga ake ki a rātou anō mā ngā mihimihi me ngā pepeha. He pakari te tū o ngā tuākana ki te whakapuaki i ō rātou pepeha. E mōhio ana ngā tamariki ki a rātou anō, ki ō rātou tūrangawaewae hoki.
E ako ana ngā tamariki i ō rātou tuakiri me ngā tikanga o te takiwā nei. Ka tūhonohono atu rātou ki ngā atua Māori mā ngā karakia me ngā waiata. Ka tae atu ngā tamariki ki ngā tangihanga i ngā marae, ā, ka haere anō hoki rātou ki ngā urupā. Ka whakarato ngā kaimahi i ngā huarahi e tū ai ngā tamariki ki te ārahi i ētahi wā o te rā. He pakari rātou i tō rātou taiao, ā, e mōhio ana hoki rātou me pēhea te whakapaipai i ō rātou wāhi ako, me te tiaki i ā rātou taputapu. E tino mōhio ana ngā tamariki ki ngā mahi hātepetepe. Kei te pakari haere ngā ngākau titikaha o ngā tamariki ki tō rātou taiao.
Ka whakawhanake ngā tamariki i ngā hononga papai ki ētahi atu. Ka whakatauira ngā kaimahi i ngā uara o te manaaki me te aroha. He hunga ngāwari, he hunga manaaki rātou i te taha o ngā tamariki, ā, ka toro atu ki ngā momo huarahi e hāpai ana i te whanonga pai ki waenga i ngā tamariki. Ka āwhina ngā tuākana i ngā pēpi, puta noa i te rā. Ka menemene ngā pēpi, ā, ka whakawhitiwhiti whakaaro rātou mā te reo ā-tinana me te āhua anō hoki o ō rātou kanohi. Ka rongo i ngā tamariki e katakata ana, e whakangahau ana i ngā wā e whai wāhi atu ana ngā kaimahi ki ō rātou taha. He pai ngā taunekeneke a ngā tamariki ki te taha o ētahi atu i a rātou e noho mauritau ana.
Ka tūhura ngā tamariki i a Ngāti Pāhauwera ki te taha o ō rātou whānau. Ko te whakatupu kai me te whai oranga i te whenua tētahi āhuatanga matua o te noho ki Raupunga. E whakawhanake ana ngā kaimahi i ngā huarahi e whai hua ai ngā tamariki i tō rātou ake taiao me ōna taonga katoa. Ka whakaako te whānau i ngā tamariki ki te hopu me te whakataka kai. Ka kawe atu rātou i ngā tamariki ki te taha o te awa me te moana, hī ika ai. Ka ngahau ngā tamariki ki ngā hēti kuti wūru, ā, ka kite rātou i ngā mahi a ō rātou whānau, me tō rātou hononga ki tō rātou hapori. He whakaritenga tā ngā kaimahi ki te whakawhanake i tētahi wāhi o waho hei whakaongaonga i te ako a ngā tamariki. Ka ako ngā tamariki i te taiao māoriori o Ngāti Pāhauwera.
Ko ngā tamariki kei te tīmatanga noa o ngā akoranga ki te kōrero i te reo Māori i ngā wā katoa. Ka whakapuaki ngā tamariki i a rātou anō mā ngā waiata. Ka toro atu ngā kaimahi ki ngā kohinga waiata o te hapori e whakatairanga ana i a Ngāti Pāhauwera. E wātea ana ngā pukapuka reo Māori ki ngā tamariki. Ka whāngai kupu ngā kaimahi ki ngā tamariki kia kōrero ai rātou i te reo Māori i ngā wā whāriki. He pārekareka ki ngā pēpi te rongo me te taki i ngā rotarota. Kei te mārama ngā tamariki i ngā tohutohu māmā. Ka whakamahi ētahi o ngā kaimahi i ngā rautaki whakawhānui reo – pērā i te tāruarua me te whakamihi – ki te hāpai i te whakawhanaketanga o te reo Māori o ngā tamariki. E whanake ana ngā pūkenga o ngā tamariki ki te ako i te reo Māori.
He maha ngā wā e kōrero ana ngā tamariki i te reo Pākehā i te kōhanga reo. E mōhio ana ngā kaimahi me te whānau, e tika ana kia whakapakarihia e rātou ō rātou ake āheinga, tō rātou māia anō hoki ki te kōrero i te reo Māori i ngā wā katoa ki ngā tamariki, ā, ki waenganui anō hoki i a rātou anō. Kāhore i te rawaka te whānuitanga o ngā momo rautaki a ngā kaimahi ki te whakawhanake me te whakawhānui i te kōrero a ngā tamariki i te reo Māori. Kāhore ngā tamariki e rumakina ana ki tētahi taiao e whakanui ana i te noho matua mai o te reo Māori i roto i ngā akoranga me ngā whakawhitinga kōrero.
He aronga ngātahi tō te whānau ki te ako a ngā tamariki hei uri o Ngāti Pāhauwera. Kua āta whakawhanake, kua āta whakatakotohia tētahi tūtohinga, ā, e mau nei ana hoki i ngā kaupapa here me ngā tukanga hei ārahi i ngā mahi whakahaere a te whānau. E tāutu ana te mahere rautaki i ngā kaupapa matua o te pae tata me te pae tawhiti o te kōhanga reo. Hui ai te whānau i ia marama, i ia marama, ā, ko te whakapai ake i ngā whare tētahi kaupapa e noho matua ana. Kua pai ake te whakahaere i ngā pūtea. He pai te whakahaere i ngā tukanga e pā ana ki ngā kaimahi, ā, e whakatakoto ana hoki ēnei i te ako ngaio me te whakawhanaketanga ngaio o ngā kaimahi. Kua whakaritea ngā rehita me ngā akoako hōneatanga, ā, ka aroturukitia hoki. E hāpaitia ana ngā tamariki e te whānau, ā, ka whakaaro matua te whānau ki te hauora me te waiora o ngā tamariki.
Kua whakatakotohia ngā mahi māherehere hōtaka, te aromatawai hoki. Ka whakaatuhia te tirohanga whānui o ngā mahere ki ngā pakitara, ā, ka whakauru anō hoki ki ēnei ko ngā whakaaro o te whānau me ā rātou kōrero urupare. Ka whakamaheretia ngā kaupapa puta noa i te tau, ā, e mau ana i ngā wheako e whai pānga nui ana ki a Ngāti Pāhauwera. Ka whakaemiemi ngā kaimahi i ētahi o ngā mōhiohio ki roto i ngā puka aromatawai. E mōhio ana rātou, e tika ana kia whakawhanake tonu tō rātou māramatanga ki te aromatawai e tika ana i ngā kōhanga reo, me te āta whai pānga anō hoki o aua mahi ki ngā ngākau nuitanga me te ahu whakamua o ia tamaiti, o ia tamaiti hei ākonga o roto o Ngāti Pāhauwera.
Ahakoa he tukanga ki te whakamahere i te hōtaka akoranga me te aromatawai i ngā akoranga a ngā tamariki, me whakanui tonu ngā kaimahi i ō rātou pūmanawa e whai pānga ana ki aua tū wāhanga. He hou te kaiako ki tōna tūranga, ā, e whakapakari ana ia i tōna mōhiotanga ki ngā whakaritenga papai i te kōhanga reo. Kāhore ngā mahere hōtaka e āta whakaatu ana i ngā hononga pū ki Te Whāriki a Te Kōhanga Reo. Kāhore ngā mea e matea ana me te ahu whakamua o ia tamaiti, o ia tamaiti e āta tautuhingia ana ki tana puka aromatawai. Ma te whakahiki ake i ngā āheinga o ngā kaimahi e hikina ai te kounga o ngā akoranga o ngā tamariki.
Kāhore ngā kaimahi e hui ana, nahanaha nei, ki te whakawhiti kōrero mō tēnā, mō tēnā i whai hua i te hōtaka akoranga, ā, mō ngā āhuatanga hoki hei whakapai ake. I ētahi wā o te rā, ka rangirua, ka takeo hoki te āhua o ngā tamariki. He mea nui kia whai whakaaro ngā kaimahi me pēhea te aro atu ki ngā mea e matea ana ngā tamariki, ā, me pēhea hoki rātou e āta whakauru atu i ngā taumahi me ngā rauemi hei hiki i ngā mahi, puta noa i te rā. Me tuhi ngā kaimahi i aua whakawhitinga kōrero me ā rātou mahi, hei whakaaturanga i te whakapaipai haere i te hōtaka akoranga o ngā tamariki.
Tērā ētahi wāhanga o ngā mahi whakahaere a te whānau hei whakapakari ake. Kāhore anō te whānau kia whakawhanake i tētahi mahere ā-tau. Kāhore i a rātou tētahi mahere hei whakamōhio i te whānau ki ngā tino rā me ngā tino kawenga mahi. I te wā o te arotake, kīhai i whakaatuhia mai ko ngā tuhinga e pā ana ki te aroturukitanga o ngā pūnaha me ngā tukanga e hāpai ai i te rere pai o ngā whakahaeretanga ki te kōhanga reo.
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 Te Rau o Te Ōriwa i roto i te toru o ngā tau.

Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Rau o Te Ōriwa is located in the rural community of Raupunga, near Wairoa. Ngāti Pāhauwera is the local hapū and has strong links to the three local marae and to the kōhanga reo. The kōhanga reo is operating at its maximum roll of 17 children and now has a waiting list. Since the previous ERO review, there have been staffing changes and kaimahi are settling into their new roles.
Children confidently participate in a range of Ngāti Pāhauwera settings.
Children are affirmed as descendants of Ngāti Pāhauwera. Kaimahi enhance children’s connections with their ancestral surroundings. Children regularly visit their marae and participate alongside their whānau as tangata whenua. Children learn about whakapapa and their personal connections to each other through mihimihi and pepeha. Tuākana confidently stand and share their pepeha. Children know who they are and where they come from.
Children learn about their identity and local tikanga. They make connections to atua Māori through karakia and waiata. Children attend tangihanga at local marae and visit the urupā. Kaimahi provide opportunities for children to experience leadership during the day. They are confident in their environment and know how to tidy their learning areas and take care of their belongings. Children know routines well. Children are building confidence in their environment.
Children develop positive relationships with others. Kaimahi model values of manaaki and aroha. They are gentle and caring with the children and find ways to support positive behaviour in children. Tuākana embrace pēpi throughout the day. Pēpi smile and communicate with others using body language and facial expressions. Children are heard laughing and enjoying themselves when kaimahi engage with them. Children interact positively with others when they are settled.
Children explore Ngāti Pāhauwera alongside their whānau. Growing kai and living off the land is an integral part of living in Raupunga. Kaimahi are developing ways for children to make the most of their immediate environment and resources. Children learn from whānau about how to catch and prepare food. They take children fishing at the river and sea. Children have fun at the shearing sheds where they see what their whānau do and how they are a part of their community. Kaimahi have plans to develop an outdoor area that stimulates children’s learning. Children learn about the natural environment of Ngāti Pāhauwera.
Children are at the very early stages of learning to speak te reo Māori consistently. Children express themselves through waiata. Kaimahi draw on a community collection of waiata that promote Ngāti Pāhauwera. Children have access to books in te reo Māori. Kaimahi prompt children to speak te reo Māori during mat times. Pēpi enjoy hearing and reciting rotarota. Children understand simple instructions. Some kaimahi use language building strategies such as repetition and praise to support children’s development of te reo Māori. Children are developing skills to learn te reo Māori.
Children often speak English in the kōhanga reo. Kaimahi and whānau are aware of the need to build their own capability and confidence to speak te reo Māori consistently with children and each other. Kaimahi do not have a sufficient range of strategies to develop and extend the use of te reo Māori by children. Children are not immersed in an environment where te reo Māori is the main language of learning and communication.
Whānau have a shared focus on children’s learning as Ngāti Pāhauwera. A well-developed charter with policies and procedures is in place to guide whānau management. A strategic plan identifies short and long term priorities for the kōhanga reo. Whānau meet monthly and have prioritised improvements for buildings. Financial management has improved. Personnel processes are well managed and include ongoing professional learning and development for kaimahi. Registers and drills are in place and monitored. Children are supported by whānau who prioritise their health and wellbeing.
Programme planning and assessment practices are in place. Planning overviews are displayed on the walls and incorporate suggestions and feedback from whānau. Kaupapa are planned across the year and include relevant experiences about Ngāti Pāhauwera. Kaimahi collate some information in assessment booklets. They are aware of the need to continue developing their understanding of good assessment practices in kōhanga reo and how they can best reflect the child’s interests and progress as learners in Ngāti Pāhauwera.
Although there are processes in place to plan the learning programme and assess children’s learning, kaimahi must continue to grow their capability in these areas. The kaiako is new to her role and building her knowledge of good practices within kōhanga reo. Programme planning does not show clear links to Te Whāriki a Te Kōhanga Reo. The needs and progress of individual children are not clearly defined in their assessment booklets. Improvements in kaimahi capability will lift the overall quality of learning for children.
Kaimahi do not meet regularly to discuss what has worked well in the learning programme and what can be improved. There are times during the day where children are upset and appear to be bored. It is important for kaimahi to consider how they can better respond to children’s needs and incorporate activities and resources more effectively throughout the day. Kaimahi should document these discussions and their actions as evidence of the ongoing improvements made to the learning programme for children.
Aspects of whānau management can be strengthened. The whānau have yet to develop an annual plan. They do not have a plan that informs whānau of significant dates and responsibilities. Records of monitoring systems and processes that support smooth operations of the kōhanga reo were not available during the review.
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 Te Rau o Te Ōriwa will be in three years.

E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Rau o Te Ōriwa ki te hapori noho tuawhenua o Raupunga, e pā tata atu ana i Wairoa. Ko Ngāti Pāhauwera te iwi. Ka manei te tatauranga o ngā tamariki e haere ana ki tēnei kōhanga reo, nā te whakawhiti haere o ngā mema o te whānau ki waho, ki roto hoki i te hapori, rapu mahi ai. He hiahia tō te whānau ki te whakahono atu ki te rūnanga o Ngāti Pāhauwera, me te ahu whakamua ki te whakawhanake ngātahi i ngā kaupapa mātauranga matua.
I whakaritea ko Mana Aotūroa te kaupapa arotahi mō tēnei arotake. Hei ārahi i te arotake a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga ki tēnei kōhanga reo, i whakamahia te pātai aromātai e whai ake nei, arā:
‘He pēhea te whai wāhi atu a ngā tamariki ki ngā akoranga e pā ana ki tō rātou taiao?’
He pārekareka ki ngā tamariki te maha o ngā wheako akoranga e pā ana ki a rātou anō, ki tō rātou tūrangawaewae anō hoki.
Ka ako ngā tamariki i ō rātou hononga ki a Ngāti Pāhauwera. He pārekareka ki a rātou ngā wā ako e whakapuaki ana rātou i ō rātou pepeha, ō rātou whakapapa, me ngā waiata hoki, ā, ka whakaatu anō hoki rātou i tēnā e mōhiotia ana e rātou. Ka whai wāhi ngā tamariki ki te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo taumahi ako e whai pānga matua ana ki tō rātou ao ki tēnei hapori, tae atu ki te mahi māra, te whakangau poaka, me te hī ika. Ka āta whakaatuhia ā rātou kaupapa ako puta noa i te kōhanga reo. Ka whakaongaongatia ngā tamariki kia tūhura, kia pākiki hoki rātou i tō rātou ao Māori, nā te muramura me te hihiri anō hoki o te taiao ako. He ākonga tau, he ākonga harikoa hoki rātou.
Ko te nuinga o ngā āhuatanga o te kōhanga reo e tino whakahaerehia ana e te whānau hei painga mō ā rātou tamariki. He mātātoa te whai wāhi atu a ngā mema. Ka whai hua ngā tamariki nā ngā whakaritenga ki te whakatupu me te whakapakari anō hoki i te kōhanga reo, ā, kua āta whakaritea tēnei āhuatanga hei ārahi i te whānau. Ko te rapu i ngā huarahi tūturu ka hāpai i te reo Māori mō ngā tamariki, tētahi kaupapa matua a te whānau.
I mua o te arotake, i īnoitia te whānau kia whai whakaaro ki ā rātou kaupapa motuhake mō te arotake.
Kātahi ka whakaritea ngā tino kaupapa motuhake mō te arotake, whai muri o te whakawhitinga kōrero i waenga o te rōpū arotake o te Tari Arotake Mātauranga Māori me te whānau.
I whakaritea e te whānau ko tāna kaupapa arotahi mō tēnei arotake, ko:
Ko te katoa o ngā arotake mātauranga ā te Tari Arotake Mātauranga Māori i roto i ngā kōhanga reo e arotahi ana ki te kounga o te mātauranga. Ki tā te Tari Arotake Mātauranga Māori, kei roto i tēnei ko te kounga o te:
Ko ngā kitenga ā te Tari Arotake Mātauranga Māori i roto i ēnei wāhanga, kei raro iho nei.
‘He pēhea te whai wāhi atu a ngā tamariki ki ngā akoranga e pā ana ki tō rātou taiao?’
He pārekareka ki ngā tamariki te maha o ngā wheako akoranga e pā ana ki a rātou anō, ki tō rātou tūrangawaewae anō hoki.
Ka ako ngā tamariki i ō rātou hononga ki a Ngāti Pāhauwera. E tupu haere ana tō rātou māiatanga, tō rātou āheinga hoki ki te whakapuaki i ō rātou pepeha. Ka tino ngākau nui ngā tamariki ki te waiata i ngā waiata e mōhiotia ana e rātou, ki te taha o tō rātou whānau. Ka whakapūmau aua wheako i ngā taonga tuku iho a ngā tamariki, me tō rātou tuakiri. Ka whai wāhi ngā tamariki ki te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo taumahi ako e whai wāhi matua ana ki tō rātou ao ki tēnei hapori. E whakawhanake ana ngā tamariki i te tino hononga ki tō rātou taiao māoriori.
Ka whakaongaongatia ngā tamariki i a rātou e tūhura ana i tō rātou whenua te reo whānui hoki. Ka whakarato ngā kaimahi i te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo wheako akoranga o te hapori, kia pakari ake ai, kia mōhio ake ai hoki ngā tamariki ki tō rātou ao. Ka whai wāhi atu ngā tamariki ki ngā mahi māra, te whakangau poaka, te hao īnanga, me te hī ika. E whakawhanake ana ō rātou mōhiotanga, ō rātou pūkenga hoki e pā ana ki te mahi māra hei oranga. Ka tino whakanuia te whakaute me te manaaki i te whenua. Ka kitea te mōhio haere o ngā tamariki ki te ao e noho nei rātou, me tō rātou tūranga hei kaitiaki. Ka whakakoia anō hoki te āhua o tō rātou aronga toi whenuatanga me tō rātou tuakiri.
He harikoa, he tau hoki te āhua o ngā tamariki i tō rātou kōhanga reo. E tino tiakina ana tō rātou taiao ako, he nui hoki ngā rauemi, kia āhei ai rātou ki te whakatau i ō rātou ake huarahi ako. Ka whakatairanga ngā kaimahi i te reo Māori mā ngā huarahi whakahihiri e whai pūtake ana. Ka aro atu, ka waia hoki ngā tamariki ki te reo e whakamahia ana e ngā kaimahi. Ka rumakina ngā tamariki ki tō rātou reo, mā ngā whakawhitinga kōrero, ngā waiata, ā, mā ngā taunekeneke hoki ki ngā pākeke i a rātou e tākaro ana.
Kei te tino mōhio ngā tamariki ki te taiao o tō rātou kōhanga reo. Huri noa i a rātou, ko ā rātou mahi toi, i ā rātou e tūhura ana, e tākaro ana hoki. E whakamāharatia ana e ngā tamariki i tō rātou aronga toi whenuatanga i roto i ngā whakaahua me ngā tohu huri noa i a rātou. Ka tino tautokona rātou, kia tūhura, kia pākiki, kia ako hoki rātou ki a rātou anō me tō rātou tūrangawaewae.
E kaha ana te aro atu a ngā tamariki ki ngā hōtaka ako i āta whakaritea mā rātou. Ka hāngai te aronga whakamua o te kōhanga reo ki ngā whāinga rautaki o Te Ara Tūāpae. E whakaraupapa ana tā rātou mahere mahi i te huarahi mahi me ngā rautaki hei ārahi i te whānau ki te whakatutuki haere i aua whāinga. E arotahi ana te whānau ki te whakarato i te tino mātauranga me te tino atawhai, hei painga mō ā rātou tamariki.
Ko ngā akoranga a ngā tamariki me ō rātou ngākau nuitanga, ka āta whakamaheretia, ka āta whakahaerehia hoki e te whānau me ngā kaimahi. He māramatanga ngātahi tō ngā mema mō te ako o ngā tamariki i ia rā. Ka whakahaere te whānau i ngā hōtaka akoranga i whakamaheretia ai, mā ngā huarahi ka tino aro atu, ka tino rerekē haere, hei whakatutuki i ngā ngākau nuitanga me ngā matea o ngā tamariki katoa.
Ka whakaemihia ngā mōhiohio papai e tohu ana i ngā wheako akoranga me tā rātou angitu haere i te kōhanga reo. Whakaaro huritao ai, tātari ai hoki ngā kaimahi i ia te wā, i te whai huatanga o ngā hōtaka me ngā whakaritenga ki te whakatutuki i ngā matea o ā rātou tamariki.
Ko ngā matea o ngā tamariki kei te pūtake o te whakahaeretanga a te whānau. Ka kitea ki ngā mema o te whānau te tino ngākau nui ki te hāpai i te kaupapa o te kōhanga reo. Ka tū auau ngā hui, ā, he pai te whakahaeretanga o aua hui hei aroturuki i te āhua o ngā mahi whānui, me te aronga hoki o te kōhanga reo mō ā rātou tamariki. Kua whakapau kaha rātou ki te whakatika haere i ngā wero i hāngai ai ki te whakahaeretanga o ngā pūtea, ā, kua pai ake tā rātou whakahaere i ō rātou pūtea. He pai te whakahaeretanga o te kōhanga reo hei painga mō ngā tamariki me ngā wawata o te whānau.
Ka tino whai hua ngā tamariki nā te kaupapa matua a te whānau ki te whakatupu ake i te reo Māori. Kua tīmata kē te whānau me ngā kaimahi ki te whakapiki i tō rātou mōhiotanga, tō rātou āheinga hoki i roto i te reo Māori, kia āta hāpaitia ā rātou tamariki ki te kōhanga reo me te kāinga. E tino tautoko ana Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i tēnei kaupapa matua a te katoa mō ā rātou tamariki.
Ko te kaha eke o ngā tamariki ki tō rātou pūmanawa ako, e hāngai nui ana ki te kounga o ngā mahi a ngā kaimahi. Kāhore anō ngā arohaehae kia whakatinanahia mō ngā kaimahi katoa, hei āta aro atu ki ō rātou ako ngaiotanga hei whakatupuranga hoki mō ngā tamariki.
I mua o te arotake, i whakakīia e te kaipupuri raihana, te whānau, me ngā kaimahi o te kōhanga reo tētahi Tauāki Kupu Tūturu a te Kōhanga Reo kua Raihanatia, o Pipiri 2013, me tētahi Rārangi Tātari Whaiaro mā te Tari Arotake Mātauranga. I roto i ēnei tuhinga i oati rātou, i whāia e rātou ngā huarahi whai take hei whakatutuki i ā rātou herenga ā-ture e pā ana ki:
I te wā o te arotake, i whakamātauhia e te Tari Arotake Mātauranga ngā āhuatanga i raro iho nei, i te mea he nui te pānga o ēnei ki ngā hua ka puta ki ngā tamariki:
E taunaki ana te Tari Arotake Mātauranga kia:
Tērā ka whakahaeretia e te Tari Arotake Mātauranga te arotake whai muri, i roto i ngā tau e toru.

Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Rau o Te Oriwa is located in the rural community of Raupunga near Wairoa. Ngāti Pāhauwera is the local iwi. The number of children attending this kōhanga reo fluctuates due to whānau members moving in and out of the community due to employment opportunities. The whānau are keen to build relationships with the local rūnanga of Ngāti Pāhauwera and work towards developing mutual education priorities.
Mana Aotūroa was selected as the focus area for this review. To guide ERO’s review in this kōhanga reo, the following evaluative question was used:
Children enjoy many learning experiences about their identity and where they come from.
Children learn about their links to Ngāti Pāhauwera. They enjoy the learning times where they can share pepeha, whakapapa and waiata and show what they know. Children participate in a wide range of learning activities that are a normal part of life in their community, including gardening, pig hunting and fishing. Their kaupapa learning is proudly displayed throughout the kōhanga reo. Children are stimulated to explore and inquire about their world Maori in their bright and vibrant learning environment. They are settled and happy learners.
Most aspects of the kōhanga reo are managed well by the whānau in the interests of their children. Members are actively involved. Children benefit from plans to grow and strengthen the kōhanga reo which is well planned to guide whānau. Finding practical ways to support te reo Māori for children is a recognised whānau priority.
Before the review, the whānau were invited to consider its priorities for review.
The priorities for review were then determined following a discussion between the ERO review team and whānau.
The focus area for this review is:
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 in the report findings.
Children enjoy many learning experiences about who they are and where they come from.
Children learn about their links to Ngāti Pāhauwera. They share their pepeha with growing confidence and ability. Children especially love to sing the waiata they know alongside their whānau. These experiences reinforce children’s heritage and identity. Children participate in a wide range of learning activities that are a normal part of life in their local community. Children are developing an affinity to their natural environment.
Children are stimulated as explorers of their whenua and the wider world. Kaimahi provide a wide range of local learning experiences that builds children’s confidence and knowledge of their world. Children participate in gardening, pig hunting, white-baiting and fishing. They are developing in their knowledge and skills about gardening for sustenance. Respect and care for the land is promoted well. Children show a growing awareness of the world around them, and their role as kaitiaki. Their sense of belonging and identity is affirmed.
Children are happy and settled in their kōhanga reo. Their learning environment is well catered for and resourced so that they can determine their own learning pathways. Kaimahi promote te reo Māori in meaningful and interesting ways. Children are receptive and familiar with the language used by kaimahi. Children are immersed in their language, in conversation, waiata and through interactions with adults while they play.
Children know their kōhanga reo environment well. Their art work surrounds them as they explore and play. Children are reminded of their heritage through images and symbols around them. They are well supported to explore, inquire and learn about who they are and where they belong.
Children respond well to well planned learning programmes. The future direction of the kōhanga reo is based on the strategic objectives of Te Ara Tūāpae. Their action plan outlines steps and strategies to guide whānau towards realising these objectives. The whānau are focused on providing the best for their children’s education and care.
Children’s learning and their interests are well planned for and managed by whānau and kaimahi. There is a shared understanding amongst members about the daily learning for children. Whānau manage planned programmes of learning in a highly responsive and adaptable way so that all children’s interests and needs are responded to.
Good information is collected to show children’s learning experiences and their journey of success while at the kōhanga reo. Kaimahi regularly reflect on and examine how well programmes and practices are meeting the needs of their children.
Children’s needs are at the heart of whānau management. Whānau members show a strong commitment for supporting the kōhanga reo kaupapa. Regular meetings are managed well to monitor the overall performance and direction of the kohanga reo for their children. They have worked hard to overcome past financial management challenges and are better placed for managing their finances. The kōhanga reo is managed in the interests of children and whānau aspirations.
Children will greatly benefit from the whānau priority for growing te reo Māori. Whānau and kaimahi have already begun to increase their capacity and capability with te reo Māori so that their children are well supported at kōhanga reo and home. ERO strongly supports this shared priority for children.
The extent to which children reach their learning potential is dependent on the quality of kaimahi practice. Appraisals are yet to be implemented for all kaimahi to respond to their professional learning and growth for children.
Before the review, the licensee, whānau and staff of the kōhanga reo completed an ERO Licensed Kōhanga Reo Assurance Statement June 2013, and Self-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 items because they have a potentially high impact on outcomes for children:
ERO recommends:
ERO is likely to carry out the next review in three years.
