Ko tēnei aromātai tāpiri i whakaritea i runga i te aromātai o te whakatutukitanga a te whānau i te whakahaeretanga o te kōhanga reo, ki ngā wāhanga i tāutuhia ai e te pūrongo a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga, i mua atu, me ngā take rānei kua tāutuhia whai muri o taua aromātai. Ko ngā whakataunga mō ngā whakapuakitanga e pā ana ki tēnei aromātai, ko te titiro ki:
E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Tonga o Hoterini ki te tāone o Pārāwai. E whai wāhi ana te whānau ki te whakapūmau i te kaupapa o te kōhanga reo ki tēnei takiwā. I te tau 2015, i tāutuhia ai ki te pūrongo o mua a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga ngā wāhanga maha hei whakapai ake, pērā i te reo Māori, te aromatawai me te aromātai, te aromātai o roto a te whānau, me ngā wāhanga kāhore e tutuki ana i ngā herenga ā-ture.
E whakawhanake ana ngā tamariki i ngā pūkenga ki te whakawhiti whakaaro mā te reo Māori. E whakarato ana te whānau i te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo wheako ako e ahu mai ana i ngā ngākau nuitanga o ngā tamariki, hei hāpai i te whakawhanaketanga o tō rātou reo. Ka whakapuaki ngā kaimahi i ngā kupu hou hei āhuatanga matua o ngā akoranga a ngā tamariki. Ko ngā mahinga o ia rā e hāpai ana i te whakamahinga o ngā tamariki i aua kupu i a rātou e taunekeneke ana ki waenga i a rātou anō i roto i te hōtaka akoranga. E hāpai ana te pānui i te kitenga o ngā tamariki i aua kupu ki te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo horopaki. Nā ngā whakaaturanga i ngā pakitara me te pae pāpāho pāpori ka puta ngā whai wāhitanga mō ngā mema o te whānau ki te ako me te whakamahi i te reo ki ngā kāinga. E ako ana ngā tamariki i te reo Māori.
E ārahi ana te aromatawai me te aromātai hōtaka i te hōtaka akoranga o ngā tamariki. Ka whakamahi ngā kaimahi i ngā whakaritenga aromatawai hei aroturuki i te ahu whakamua o ngā tamariki me ā rātou akoranga. Ka whakatakoto haere rātou i ngā tuhinga me ngā kōrerorero e pā ana ki ngā mahi a ngā tamariki me ngā whakaahua, ā, ka whakapuakihia ēnei hei tirohanga mā te whānau. Ka akiaki ngā kaimahi i ngā mātua ki te kōrero mō te whakawhanaketanga o ā rātou ake tamariki. Ka whakawhiti kōrero, ka whakapuaki, ka whakamahi hoki ngā kaimahi i ō rātou mōhiotanga e pā ana ki ngā tamariki, hei whakapai ake i te whakapuakitanga o ngā akoranga mā ngā tamariki. Ka whakaarohia anō hoki ngā matea ako o ia tamaiti.
Ko ngā putanga ako o ngā tamariki tētahi kaupapa matua. E whakamanahia ana te whai wāhi mai o ngā kuia me ngā kaumātua ki te hāpai i ngā whakawhanaketanga rautaki i te kōhanga reo. I mahi ngātahi te whānau ki te arotake me te whakahou ake i te tūtohinga me tā rātou mahere rautaki, tae atu hoki ki te tirohanga me ngā tauāki taketake. I whakamahi te whānau i ngā aratohu a te Poari Matua o Ngā Kōhanga Reo ki te whakapai ake i ngā whakaritenga e pā ana ki te tuku mahi. Ko ngā tamariki kei te pūtake o ngā mahere e pā ana ki te pae tawhiti.
E whanake ana ngā whakaritenga e pā ana ki te aromātai o roto. Ahakoa e whakapai ake ana te whānau me ngā kaimahi i ngā whakaritenga ki te kōhanga reo, me āta whakamahere anō hoki rātou i te aromātai o roto, i runga anō i ngā putanga ka whai hua ki ngā tamariki. Ka hāpai tētahi mahere mahi ā-tau i te aro atu a te whānau me ngā kaimahi ki te whakapai tonu me te ahu whakamua, hei whakatutuki i ā rātou kaupapa rautaki matua, hei hāpai ake i te kounga o ngā akoranga, ā, hei whakatutuki anō hoki i ngā herenga ā-ture.
Kua whakatutukihia e te whānau ngā herenga ā-ture katoa i tāutuhia ai ki te pūrongo a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i te tau 2015.
E taunaki ana Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga kia whakapakari tonu te whānau i te aromātai o roto, hei hāpai i te rōnakitanga mauki.
Ka whakahaere anō Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i te aromātai whai muri o Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Tonga o Hoterinii roto i te toru o ngā tau.

A supplementary evaluation is undertaken at the discretion of the Deputy Chief Review Officer Māori in 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:
Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Tonga o Hoterini is in the Thames township. The whānau contributes to maintaining the presence of kōhanga reo in the region. The previous ERO report in 2015 identified a number of areas for improvement including te reo Māori, assessment and evaluation, whānau internal evaluation and areas of non-compliance.
Children are developing skills to communicate in te reo Māori. The whānau provides a range of learning experiences based on children’s interests to support their language development. Kaimahi introduce new words as an integral part of children’s learning. Daily activities enable children to use these words as they interact with each other in the learning programme. Reading helps children to see these words in a range of contexts. Wall displays and social media provide whānau members with opportunities to learn and use language in the home. Children are learners of te reo Māori.
Assessment and programme evaluation guides the learning programme for children. Kaimahi use assessment practices to monitor children’s progress and learning. They record comments and annotations about children’s work and photos which are shared with whānau. Kaimahi encourage parents to talk about their child’s development. Kaimahi discuss, share and use their knowledge about children to improve the delivery of children’s learning. Children’s individual needs are considered.
Children’s learning outcomes are a priority. The kuia and kaumātua are valued for their support of strategic developments in the kōhanga reo. The whānau collectively reviewed and updated the charter, as well as their strategic plan including the vision and mission statements. The whānau used the Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust guidelines to improve employment practices. Children are the focus of forward planning.
Internal evaluation practices are developing. Although whānau and kaimahi are improving practices in the kōhanga reo, they need to deliberately plan for internal evaluation based on outcomes for children. An annual action plan will enable whānau and kaimahi to focus on ongoing improvement and progress towards achieving their strategic priorities, supporting quality learning, and meeting legislative requirements.
The whānau has addressed the non-compliance issues raised in the 2015 ERO report.
ERO recommends the whānau continue to strengthen internal evaluation to support long term sustainability.
The next ERO evaluation of Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Tonga o Hoterini will be in three years.

E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Tonga o Hoterini ki te tāone o Hoterini. E mōhio ana ngā kaimahi me te whānau, kei te tīmatanga tonu rātou o te whakahou ake anō i tō rātou kōhanga reo. Ka arohaina, ka whakamanatia hoki ngā tamariki ki tētahi taiao e atawhai ana i a rātou, e whai pānga nui ana ki a rātou tonu. He harikoa ngā tamariki, ā, he pārekareka ki a rātou te noho ki te kōhanga reo. Ka arotake anō Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i te kōhanga reo i roto i ngā tau e rua.
E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Tonga o Hoterini ki te tāone tahamoana o Hoterini. I kati te kōhanga reo mō tētahi wā, ā, kātahi anō ka whakapuare anō i te marama o Whiringa-ā-nuku, i te tau 2014. Kei te tīmatanga noa te whānau ki te whakarite i āna whakahaeretanga. Kua roa nei ngā kaumātua e whai wāhi ana ki te kōhanga reo, ā, ka tino āwhina rātou i te whakapuakitanga anō o te kōhanga reo. He tino tirohanga tā ngā kaumātua me te whānau mō te kōhanga reo. Ka noho pūmau rātou ki te whakarato i te kounga o ngā wheako reo Māori ki ngā tamariki. Ko ētahi āhuatanga o te tirohanga o te whānau, ko te whakapūmau i ngā tino mātāpono me ngā uaratanga, me te whakamahere mō te huarahi kei mua i ā rātou tamariki kia ako mutunga kore ai rātou.
Ka hāpai tētahi tino rōpū mātua i te whakahaeretanga o te kōhanga reo i ia rā. E noho pūmau ana rātou kia haere tonu ai te tautoko ki te whakapai me te whakatairanga ake i ngā whakahaeretanga o te kōhanga reo e tika ana. Ko ngā matea me ngā painga mō ngā tamariki kei te pūtake o ngā whakaritenga o ia rā.
Tokoiwa ngā tamariki ki te rārangi ingoa o te kōhanga reo. Tokowaru o rātou kei raro i te rua o ngā tau te pakeke. E noho pūmau ana te whānau ki te poipoi me te tautoko i aua tamariki i a rātou e whakapuaki ake anō i te kōhanga reo.
He harikoa ngā tamariki, ā, he pārekareka ki a rātou te noho ki te kōhanga reo.
Ka rumakina ngā tamariki ki tētahi taiao reo Māori e tino hāpai ana i a rātou. Ka tino whakatauira ngā kaumātua me ngā kaimahi i te reo mō ngā tamariki. Ka aro atu ngā tamariki ki te reo Māori, ā, ka tohu i tō rātou māramatanga mā ngā nekehanga. Ka rongo rātou i te reo Māori e kōrerohia ana, e whakamahia ana hoki i ngā karakia, ngā waiata, ngā mihimihi, ngā hīmene, ngā kaupapa mahi, me ngā tohutohu me ngā whakawhitinga kōrero māmā. He pārekareka ki ngā tamariki ngā taumahi reo, tae atu ki te tāruarua, te kori tinana, me te manawataki. E whakawhanake ana te tupu mai o te reo Māori i roto i ngā tamariki.
He māhorahora te whakapuaki o ngā tamariki i te koa me te hari i roto i ā rātou taunekeneke, i a rātou hoki e ako ana, e tākaro ana. Ka menemene, ka katakata hoki ngā tamariki ki waenga i a rātou anō, ki te taha hoki o ngā kaimahi me te whānau. Ka ako, ka tākaro hoki rātou i roto i te manaaki me te aroha, ki te taha o tō rātou whānau e āta whakaaro nui ana ki ō rātou matea me tō rātou waiora. He pārekareka ki ngā tamariki ā rātou taunekeneke ki te taha o ō rātou hoa, me tō rātou whānau.
He pākiki ngā tamariki, ā, ka ākina rātou ki te tūhura, te whakahura, me te whakatewhatewha i ngā ariā hou. He pārekareka ki ngā tamariki te ako me te tākaro ki ngā rauemi, ā, e tika ana ēnei mō ō rātou āheinga, ō rātou whakawhanaketanga anō hoki. He māmā noa iho ki a rātou te whakawhitiwhiti ki roto, ki waho, ā, ki ngā tūmomo taumahi anō hoki. Ka whakaritea ngā taumahi hei whakaongaonga i ngā whakaaro pohewa me te taha auaha o ngā tamariki, me te whakatairanga ake i ō rātou tairongo. He pakari te tūhura haere o ngā tamariki ki waho, ā, ka whai wāhi atu rātou ki ngā mahi kori tinana. Kua āta waihangatia ngā wāhi hāneanea mō te ako me te tākaro o ngā tamariki. He harikoa, he tau hoki ngā tamariki, ā, he pārekareka ki a rātou te noho ki te kōhanga reo.
He tau ngā tamariki ki tō rātou taiao. He pai te hanganga o te hōtaka o ia rā, ā, he whānui ngā tūmomo wheako whakahihiri. He ngāwari te rere o ngā mahinga me ngā whakawhitinga, ā, he whai wāhitanga ako e whai pūtake ana. He ngāwari ngā mahinga, ā, ka whakahāngaitia mō ngā matea o ia tamaiti. He whai wāhitanga mō ngā tamariki ki te tākaro hei rōpū nui, hei rōpū iti, hei tamaiti takitahi rānei. He wā anō mō ngā tamariki ki te whiriwhiri i te tākaro māhaki, i te tākaro korikori rānei. He pai te hāpai a ngā kaimahi i ngā tamariki i a rātou e tūhura ana, e whai ana hoki i ō rātou ngākau nuitanga. He tino kaha te aronga toi whenuatanga o ngā tamariki, ā, he tākare tā rātou tūhura i tō rātou taiao ako.
Kei te tīmatanga noa te kōrero a ngā tamariki i te reo Māori. Kāhore i te rawaka ki te hōtaka ngā whai wāhitanga mō ngā tamariki ki te whakawhanake i tō rātou reo. Kāhore anō ngā kaimahi me te whānau kia whakawhanake i ngā rautaki ka akiaki, ka ārahi hoki i ngā tamariki ki te kōrero me whakawhiti whakaaro mā te reo Māori i runga anō i te āhua o ō rātou reanga, ō rātou āheinga hoki.
He tau ngā tamariki, ā, ka whai wāhi atu hoki rātou ki te kōhanga reo. He mārama te tirohanga a te whānau mō tō rātou kōhanga reo, ā, ka arotahi tēnei ki ngā matea o ā rātou tamariki. Ka whakanuia te ako, ā, he hiahia ngātahi tō te whānau kia āta whakarite i te whiwhinga a ngā tamariki i te kounga o te mātauranga me te atawhai ki te kōhanga reo. Kei ngā tamariki tētahi kōhanga reo e tino tiakina ana, ā, he mā, he pai hoki te whakaritenga. Ka kitea te whanaungatanga, ā, ka whakanuia e ngā mema o te whānau me ngā kaimahi.
He tauhou tonu ki te whānau hou ngā tūranga o te whānau me ā rātou kawenga mahi hoki ki te kōhanga reo, me ngā kaupapa here, ngā tukanga hoki e whai pānga nui ana ki te whakahaeretanga o te mātauranga me te atawhai o ngā tamariki. Ko ētahi wāhanga hei whakawhanake, ko:
Kāhore te aromātai hōtaka, te whakatakotoranga rānei o ngā akoranga a ngā tamariki me tā rātou ahunga whakamua e āta whakaritea ana. Kāhore ngā kaimahi e aromātai ana i ia te wā i ngā hōtaka akoranga o ngā tamariki. Kāhore te ahunga whakamua a ngā tamariki e āta aroturukitia ana, e tuhia ana, e pūrongotia ana rānei mā ngā huarahi mārama.
I te wā o te arotake, 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.
Hei whakapai ake i āna whakaritenga, me tahuri te whānau ki te:

Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Tonga o Hoterini is in Thames. Kaimahi and whānau acknowledge they are in the early stages of rebuilding their kōhanga reo. Children are loved and valued in a caring, child friendly environment. Children are happy and enjoy being at kōhanga reo. ERO will review the kōhanga reo again in two years.
Te Kōhanga reo o Te Tonga o Hoterini is in the coastal township of Thames. The kōhanga reo was closed for some time and only reopened in October 2014. The whānau are in the early stages of re-establishing its operations. Kaumātua who have had a long association with the kōhanga reo have provided valuable assistance in re-establishing the kōhanga reo. The kaumātua and whānau have a clear vision for the kōhanga reo. They are committed to providing quality te reo Māori experiences for children. Upholding strong principles and values and planning for their children’s future as life-long learners are part of the whānau vision.
A strong group of parents support the daily management of kōhanga reo. They are committed to providing ongoing support to improve and uplift the kōhanga reo operations as required. Children's needs and interests are at the forefront of daily practice.
The kōhanga reo has a roll of nine children. Eight are under the age of two years. The whānau are committed to nurturing and supporting these children as they re-establish the kōhanga reo.
To what extent do children show they are happy in their learning?
Children are happy and enjoy being at kōhanga reo.
Children are immersed in a supportive te reo Māori environment. Kaumātua and kaimahi are excellent language role models for children. Children respond to te reo Māori by using gestures to demonstrate their understanding. They hear te reo Māori being spoken and used during karakia, waiata, mihimihi, hīmene, kaupapa mahi, simple instructions and basic conversations. Children enjoy language activities that include repetition, movement and rhythm. Children are developing as emerging speakers of te reo Māori.
Children show spontaneous expressions of joy and happiness in their interactions and as they learn and play. Children smile and laugh amongst themselves and when they are with kaimahi and whānau. They learn and play in a caring and loving environment alongside their whānau who are totally committed to their needs and wellbeing. Children enjoy the interactions they have with their peers and whānau.
Children are curious and are encouraged to explore, discover and investigate new concepts. Children enjoy learning and playing with resources that are appropriate for their abilities and development. They are able to move in and out of their kōhanga reo and between activities with ease. Activities are prepared to stimulate children’s imaginations and creativity and enrich their senses. Children confidently explore outdoor environments where they participate in physical exercise. Children have well designed and comfortable spaces to learn and play. Children are happy, comfortable and enjoy being at kōhanga reo.
Children are comfortable in their environment. The daily programme is well structured and provides a variety of interesting experiences. Children’s routines and transitions flow smoothly and are purposeful learning opportunities. Routines are flexible and tailored for children’s individual needs. Children have opportunities to play in large or small groups or independently. There are occasions where children can choose quiet or boisterous play. Kaimahi support children well as they explore and follow their interests. Children have a strong sense of belonging and enthusiastically explore their learning environment.
Children are at an early stage of speaking te reo Māori. The programme does not provide sufficient language development opportunities for children. Kaimahi and whānau are yet to develop strategies that encourage and guide children to converse and communicate in te reo Māori in ways that are appropriate for their ages and abilities.
Children are settled and engaged while at kōhanga reo. The whānau have a clear vision for their kōhanga reo which focuses on their children's needs. Learning is valued and whānau share a collective desire to ensure children receive quality education and care at kōhanga reo. Children have a well maintained kōhanga reo which is clean and organised. Whanaungatanga is evident and valued by whānau members and kaimahi.
The new whānau are unfamiliar with the roles and responsibilities of whānau in kōhanga reo and the policies with procedures that are essential for managing the education and care of children. Areas for development include:
Programme evaluation and the recording of children's learning and progress are not well established. Kaimahi do not conduct regular evaluation of children's learning programmes. Children's progress is not formally monitored, recorded or reported in clear ways.
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.
In order to improve practice the whānau must:
Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Tonga o Hoterini is in Thames. Kaimahi and whānau acknowledge they are in the early stages of rebuilding their kōhanga reo. Children are loved and valued in a caring, child friendly environment. Children are happy and enjoy being at kōhanga reo. ERO will review the kōhanga reo again in two years.
The next ERO review of Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Tonga o Hoterini will be within two years.
