The Education Review Office (ERO) in collaboration with whānau, leaders, kaimahi and their communities develop evaluation insights that foster accountability and improvement, identify progress and build evaluation capability. This report reflects their systems, operations and management practices. ERO’s reports provides important information for hapū and iwi.
“Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Uru Karaka ki Te Kunenga ki Pūrehuroa ki Papaioea, Aotearoa”
Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Uru Karaka is situated on the campus of Massey University in Palmerston North.
It caters for 24 mokopuna including up to eight aged under two years. Whānau are committed to providing an environment that nurtures and promotes te reo Māori.
Whānau have efficient systems and processes that enrich the learning and care of mokopuna.
Mokopuna learning is enhanced by efficient whanau management practices. Whānau members actively participate in the day-to-day operations. Whānau are held regularly and well attended. The Ohu group, which consists of dedicated whānau members, provide regular updates on operations. Good financial management practices are in place. Kaimahi regularly share information about mokopuna activities and progress. Health and safety policies and procedures are regularly reviewed to ensure mokopuna safety is prioritised. The Tūtohinga provides clear guidance and sets out a planned approach and direction for whānau.
The strategic plan is informed by Te Ara Tuapae. Whānau vision and aspirations for mokopuna include te reo Māori, strengthening mokopuna and whānau, and te kōhanga reo kaupapa. There is a focus on continual growth and improvement. The annual plan identifies key operational and administrative tasks and when these are to be completed. Whānau collectively make decisions that promote mokopuna learning, wellbeing and their overall best interests.
Mokopuna learning is catered for, monitored, and documented. Kaimahi work well together to plan and monitor mokopuna learning and regularly evaluate the quality of the learning programme. Planning is detailed and guides the implementation of kaupapa mahi. Learning outcomes are designed to cater to the different age groups. Mokopuna learning and progress is captured in Pakiako books. These acknowledge individual mokopuna learning, progress and development overtime. Kaimahi meet regularly to reflect on the programme and their practices to make positive changes and respond to mokopuna needs. Mokopuna benefit from collaborative kaimahi practices.
Other matters related to personnel documentation are yet to be sighted. Whānau and ERO have agreed that documentation will be available during the onsite visit.
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 recommends that whānau have all relevant documentation for personnel matters made available during the onsite visit.

Ka whakahaeretia tētahi aromātai tāpiri i runga o te whakataunga ā te Toihau Arotake i Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga.
E aromātai ana Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i te whānuitanga me te whai hua o ngā mahi ā te kōhanga reo ki te whakatutuki i ngā take i whakatakotohia ai i roto i te pūrongo aromātai mātauranga o mua atu i tēnei, me ētahi atu wāhanga rānei i tāutuhia ai whai muri o taua aromātai.
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 Uru Karaka ki ngā papa o Te Kunenga ki Pūrehuroa, i Te Papaioea. Nō te Haratua o 2017 te pūrongo o mua i tāutu ai i ngā take i whai pānga ki te ako a ngā tamariki me te whakahaeretanga, ngā whakaritenga hoki o te kōhanga reo. I kati te kōhanga reo mō tētahi wā, ā, nō te Haratua o tēnei tau tonu i whakatuwhera anōtia ai. Kua tautokona te kōhanga reo e SELO, ā, nā tērā ngā whakapaitanga ake i whakatutukihia ai i roto i te roanga o te wā.
E whai wāhi mātātoa ana ngā tamariki ki te ako mā te tūhura. Nō nā noa nei ngā kaiako tautōhito i whakatūngia ai, ā, kua tīmata ki te mahi ngātahi me te whānau ki te whakarato i tētahi taiao ako e whakaongaonga ana i te ako a ngā tamariki. Nā te whai wāhi mai o te whānau, kua kaha ake te aronga pū ki te tamaiti i roto i te hōtaka akoranga. Kua tino piki ake te whakarato i ngā rauemi ako o roto, o waho hoki. E wātea ana aua rauemi ki ngā tamariki i a rātou e whai ana i ō rātou ake ngākau nuitanga, ā, e whakamahi ana i te reo Māori i roto i ā rātou whakawhitinga kōrero me ā rātou tākaro. E whakawhitiwhiti whakaaro ana ngā tamariki ki waenga i a rātou anō mā te reo Māori.
Ka tuhia, ka whakapuakihia hoki te ako a ngā tamariki me ō rātou whakawhanaketanga. Kei ia tamaiti tētahi pūkete e whakatakoto ana i te kiko o ngā mōhiohio e pā ana ki tana ako me tōna whakawhanaketanga. Ka whakatakotohia hoki hei āhuatanga tonu o ngā kitenga, ko te āhua o te reo Māori e whakamahia ana e ngā tamariki. Ka tāpiri atu i ngā whakaahua ki ngā tuhinga o ngā akoranga e whakatakotohia ana ki ngā pūkete. E whakawhanake ana ngā kaimahi i ngā whakaritenga aromatawai papai e kapo atu ana i te ako me te ahu whakamua a ngā tamariki.
He tokomaha ngā whānau hou ki te kōhanga reo. He nui ā rātou whakapaitanga ki ngā mahi whakahaere o te kōhanga reo i roto i te wā poto. Kua whakatutukihia e te whānau te nuinga o ngā take i whakatakotohia ai ki te pūrongo o mua a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga. I tēnei wā, e arotakengia ana te tūtohinga, tae atu ki te katoa o ngā kaupapa here me ngā tukanga. Kua whakaraupapahia ki te tūtohinga, ko ngā pūnaha e pā ana ki te whakahaeretanga o ngā kaimahi. Kua tīmatahia te arohaehae i ngā kaimahi katoa. Kua whakatutukihia e ngā mema ngā whakangungu tuatahi a te Poari Matua o Ngā Kōhanga Reo mō te penapena pūtea me te aroturuki pūtea. Arowhaingia ai te whare me ngā rawa i ia te wā. Ka whakamahia e te whānau aua mōhiohio hei whakapai ake i te taiao o ngā tamariki. E whakahaere ana te whānau i te kōhanga reo hei tino painga mō ngā tamariki.
Me whakapakari ake i te aromātai o roto. Hei āta whakatau i te riterite o ngā mahi ki te āta aroturuki mārika i ngā whakahaeretanga katoa, me whakaaro te whānau ki ngā tūmomo huarahi ka taea e rātou te whai hei pūrongo, hei whakamahere ake i ngā whakapai tonutanga ki te kōhanga reo.
I whakawhanakehia e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga me te whānau o te kōhanga reo te taunakitanga e whai ake nei, arā, kia:
Ka whakahaere anō Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i te aromātai whai muri o Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Uru Karaka i roto i te toru o ngā tau.

A supplementary evaluation is undertaken at the discretion of the Chief Review Officer of the Education Review Office (ERO).
ERO evaluates the extent and effectiveness of actions a kōhanga reo has taken towards addressing issues specified in its previous ERO evaluation and/or any additional areas identified since that evaluation.
This supplementary evaluation is based on an evaluation of the performance of the kōhanga reo governing body and management in relation to areas identified in the previous ERO report or issues identified since that evaluation. The terms of reference for this evaluation area to investigate:
Ngā Taumata Whakahirahira – including sufficient and suitable indoor learning resources and extending te reo Māori learning through exploration
Planning and Evaluation – including documenting children’s individual learning and development including te reo Māori and whānau management which consists of charter review, personnel, property and financial management,
and any other significant issues identified since the previous review.
Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Uru Karaka is on the campus of Massey University in Palmerston North. The previous report of May 2017 identified concerns relating to children’s learning and the management and operations of the kōhanga reo. The kōhanga reo went into recess for a period of time and re-opened again in May this year. SELO support has been provided to the kōhanga reo which has resulted in improvements over time.
Children are actively engaged in learning through exploration. The newly-appointed and experienced kaiako have begun work alongside whānau to provide a learning environment that stimulates children’s learning. Whānau input has contributed to a more child-centred learning programme. The provision of indoor and outdoor learning resources has significantly improved. Children have access to these resources as they follow their interests and use te reo Māori in their conversations and play. Children communicate with each other in te reo Māori.
Children’s learning and development is documented and shared. Each child has a portfolio that contains detailed information about their learning and development. The ways in which te reo Māori used by children is also recorded as part of observations. Photos complement the records of learning that are included in the portfolios. Kaimahi are developing good assessment practice that capture children’s learning and progress.
Many of the whānau are new to the kōhanga reo. There have made notable improvements to kōhanga reo management in a short period of time. The whānau have addressed most matters raised in the previous ERO report. The charter including all policies and procedures are currently being reviewed. Personnel management systems are outlined in the charter. Appraisal of all employees has begun. Members have had initial training from Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust for budget planning and monitoring. Property maintenance checks are carried out regularly. This information is used by the whānau to improve children’s environment. The whānau is managing the kōhanga reo in the best interest of the children.
Internal evaluation requires strengthening. In order to ensure that effective monitoring of all operations is consistent, the whānau should consider ways to report and further plan for ongoing improvements in the kōhanga reo.
ERO and the kōhanga reo whānau developed the following recommendations:
the whānau develop strong internal evaluation practices to support the effective management and operations of the kōhanga reo for children.
The next ERO evaluation of Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Uru Karaka will be in three years.
