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 whānau, ngā hapū, me ngā iwi.
Ko Pipitarawai te maunga
Ko Mangatukarewa te awa
Ko Tokomaru te waka
Ko Whakamaharatanga te marae
Ko Ngāti Mutunga o Wharekauri te iwi
Ko Te Kōhanga Reo o Wharekauri
E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Wharekauri ki te moutere o Wharekauri, ki te hapori o Te One. E tū ana ki te taha o Te Marae o Whakamaharatanga. Kua whai pānga nui te kuia ki te kōhanga reo, mai i tōna tīmatanga, ā, he tino pou ia o te reo me ngā tikanga Māori. Kua whakapiki ake te whānau – mā te tautoko hoki o Te Poari Matua o Ngā Kōhanga Reo – i tō rātou āheinga ki te whakahaere i ngā whakaritenga o ia rā ki te kōhanga reo, me te whakatairanga ake i ngā tino putanga ki ngā mokopuna.
Kei ngā mokopuna tētahi taiao ako whakakotahi e tautoko ana, e whakaongaonga ana hoki i a rātou.
E ako ana, e tākaro ana hoki ngā mokopuna ki tētahi taiao e noho mārie ana, e noho pūmau ana. Ka whiwhi rātou i tētahi hōtaka e whai hanganga ana, e whakatakoto whiringa ana, e riterite ana hoki. He wāteatea te taiao ako, ā, kua whakaritea hei whakatutuki i ngā matea o ngā tūmomo rōpū reanga. Ka whakangahau tahi ngā kaimahi me ngā mokopuna. E arohaina ana, e atawhaitia ana hoki ngā mokopuna e ngā kaimahi, ā, he mārie, he ngāwari hoki te reo kōrero o ngā pakeke. Ka akiaki ngā kaimahi i ngā mokopuna ki te whai wāhi atu ki ngā whakaritenga pērā i ngā karakia, ngā mihimihi, me Te Pae Tuku Aka. Ahakoa ka rata ake ngā mokopuna ki te kōrero i te reo Pākehā, ka toro atu ngā kaimahi ki ngā tūmomo rautaki e hāpai ana i te whakawhanaketanga reo o ngā mokopuna. Ko ētahi o aua rautaki, ko te whāngai kupu, te tāruarua, te tohu ā-ringa, me te waiata. He maha ngā whai wāhitanga mō ngā mokopuna ki te tūhonohono ki tō rātou taiao whānui mā te tūhura me te tākaro. Kua taunga ngā mahinga, ā, he māmā noa te whai atu. Ka āta whakatau ngā kaimahi kia wātea ai ki ngā mokopuna te tangongitanga o ngā rauemi e whakaongaonga ana i ō rātou whakawhanaketanga me ngā ngākau nuitanga ake o tēnā me tēnā. Whakamihi ai ngā kaimahi i ngā mokopuna i ia te wā mō te eke angitu me ā rātou whakatutukitanga. Kei te mauritau ngā mokopuna, ā, kei te whai wāhi nui ki ā rātou akoranga.
Ka mahi ngātahi ngā kaimahi ki te whakamahere i te hōtaka akoranga. Ka whakamahi i te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo rautaki me ngā tūmomo rauemi, hei hāpai, hei ārahi hoki i te whakatinanatanga. Ka tīpakohia ngā taumahi ako hei whakaongaonga, hei wero, hei whakawhānui anō hoki i te ako a ngā mokopuna. Ka kapohia te ako me te whakawhanaketanga o ngā mokopuna ki ngā pūkete. He pai te whakatakotoranga o aua tuhinga me ngā mōhiohio o roto e whakamārama ana i te ahu whakamua me te ako a ia mokopuna. Ka whakamōhio i te whānau ki tēnā e ākona ana e ngā mokopuna, ā, ka akiaki hoki ngā kōrerorero me ngā urupare a te whānau, me tā rātou whai wāhi atu ki te ao o te kōhanga reo. Ka whai hua ngā mokopuna nā te tōpūtanga o ngā whakaritenga a te whānau.
He maha ngā whai wāhitanga mō te whānau ki te hāpai i te whakahaeretanga whānui o te kōhanga reo. Kua whakaritea e te whānau ngā tukanga kia aroturukitia, kia pūrongohia hoki ngā āhuatanga matua o ngā whakahaeretanga. Ka arahina e te tūtohinga, ā, e whakatakoto ana hoki i te hītori o te kōhanga reo, kua pou herea hoki ki ngā mātāpono o Te Korowai. Kei ngā mahere rautaki, ko ngā tirohanga me ngā wawata o te whānau mō ngā mokopuna. Ko ētahi o ngā whāinga me ngā kaupapa matua o te pae tawhiti, ko te whakapiki ake i te whakamahinga o te reo Māori, ko te whakahou ake i ngā wāhi o waho, me te whakamahere mō te tauatanga. Ka hāpai aua tūāhuatanga i te whakawhanake tonutanga, ā, ka whakatairanga i te rōnakitanga me te whakapaitanga. Ka tautuhi te mahere ā-tau i ngā mahi whakahaere whānui i te kōhanga reo me te tari, me te wā hoki e tika ana kia whakatutukihia. Kua whakatakotohia ngā kaupapa here matua me ngā tukanga matua e pā ana ki te hauora, te haumaru, me ngā kaimahi. Ka whakaemihia, ka tuhia hoki ngā mōhiohio whai hua ki ngā rēhita e pā ana ki te hauora me te haumaru. Kei te whai māramatanga te whānau me ngā kaimahi ki ngā aratohu me ngā tikanga e whakaraupapahia ana ki te Children’s Act 2014. Ka whakatau te whānau i ngā whakaritenga e whakatairanga ana i te haumaru me te waiora o ngā mokopuna.
Kua whakatinanahia ngā pūnaha e pā ana ki te whakahaere kaimahi. Kei te whai kiko ngā kirimana mahi a ia kaimahi, ā, ka hāngai hoki ki ngā herenga ā-ture. Kei ngā tuhinga tūranga mahi, ko ngā māramatanga ki ngā kaimahi mō ngā pūkenga e tūmanakohia ana. Kua tīmatahia e te whānau – mā te tautoko hoki o te tari ā-rohe o Te Poari Matua o Ngā Kōhanga Reo – te tukanga arohaehae. E ākina ana te whai wāhi atu a ngā kaimahi me te whānau ki ngā akoranga a Te Poari Matua o Ngā Kōhanga Reo. Ka whai hua ngā mokopuna nā te ū pūmau o ngā kaimahi ki te whakapakari ake i ō rātou āheinga ngaio.
E mōhio ana te whānau, ko tētahi āhuatanga hei whakapakari ake, ko te reo Māori. Ahakoa kua uru atu ētahi o te whānau ki ngā akoranga a Te Poari Matua o Ngā Kōhanga Reo, kei te kimi tonu te whānau i ētahi atu tūmomo huarahi, pērā i te ako matihiko. Ka whai hua ngā mokopuna i te wā e rumakina ana rātou ki te reo Māori.
Kua tae ki te wā kia arotakengia e ngā kaimahi te aromātai hōtaka. Whakatūngia ai e ngā kaimahi ngā hui i ia te wā, engari kāhore aua kōrerorero e tuhia ana. E tika ana kia tuhia e ngā kaimahi, ko tēnā i whai hua ai i te hōtaka, tae atu hoki ki tēnā kīhai i whai hua, me ngā tūāhuatanga anō hoki hei whakapai ake. Ka hāpai tēnā i te whakatairanga ake a ngā kaimahi i te kounga o te hōtaka akoranga, hei painga mō ngā mokopuna.
Ahakoa he mahere rautaki a te whānau, kāhore anō rātou kia tautuhi i te huarahi ka whāia e rātou ki te whakatutuki i ō rātou wawata mō te kōhanga reo ki anamata. Ka whakatairangatia te ako a ngā mokopuna, i te wā e āta aroturukitia ana, e arotakengia ana, e aromātaihia ana hoki ō rātou matea mō meāke nei, me ngā wawata o te whānau.
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 toro atu te whānau ki te tautoko a te tari ā-rohe o Te Poari Matua o Ngā Kōhanga Reo, ki te whakatutuki i tētahi mahere mahi e hāpai ai i te whakatutukitanga o ngā kaupapa matua o te pae tata me te pae tawhiti, ā, i te whakapakaritanga anō hoki o 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’s reports provide important information for whānau, hapū and iwi.

Ko Te Kōhanga Reo o Wharekauri
Te Kōhanga Reo o Wharekauri is located on the Chatham Islands in the village of Te One. It is situated next to Te Marae o Whakamaharatanga. The kuia has been integral to the kōhanga reo since its establishment and is a strong advocate for te reo and tikanga Māori. The whānau, with support from Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust, have increased their capability to manage the day-to-day operations of the kōhanga reo and promote positive outcomes for mokopuna.
Mokopuna experience a supportive, stimulating and collaborative learning environment.
Mokopuna learn and play in a calm and secure physical environment. They experience a programme that provides structure, choice, and consistency. The learning environment is spacious and organised to meet the needs of different age groups. Kaimahi and mokopuna have fun together. Mokopuna are loved and well cared for by kaimahi who talk in a calm and gentle manner. Kaimahi encourage mokopuna to participate in practices such as karakia, mihimihi and Te Pae Tuku Aka. While mokopuna prefer to speak in English, kaimahi utilise various strategies that support mokopuna language development. These include prompting, repetition, hand gestures and waiata. Mokopuna are provided frequent opportunities to make connections with their surroundings through exploration and play. Routines are familiar and predictable. Kaimahi ensure mokopuna have access to a wide range of resources that stimulate their development and individual interests. Kaimahi consistently praise mokopuna for their successes and achievements. Mokopuna are content, settled and engaged in their learning.
Kaimahi work collaboratively as they plan the learning programme. A range of strategies and resources are utilised to support and guide implementation. Learning activities are selected to stimulate, challenge, and extend mokopuna learning. Mokopuna learning and development is captured in portfolios. These are well presented and contain good information about individual mokopuna progress and learning. The whānau are informed of what mokopuna are learning and are encouraged to comment, give feedback, and to be involved in the life of the kōhanga. Mokopuna benefit from collaborative whānau practices.
There are many opportunities for whānau to contribute to the overall management of the kōhanga reo. Whānau have established processes for monitoring and reporting on key aspects of operations. The Tūtohinga provides guidance, includes the history of the kōhanga reo and is underpinned by the principles of Te Korowai. Strategic planning includes the vision and aspirations whānau hold for mokopuna. Long term goals and priorities include increasing use of te reo Māori, outdoor area upgrades and succession planning. This supports the future development and promotes sustainability and improvement. An annual plan identifies overall operational and administration tasks and when these are to be completed. Core health, safety and personnel policies and procedures are in place. Useful information is gathered and documented in health and safety registers. Whānau and kaimahi are familiarising themselves with the guidelines and requirements as outlined in the Childrens Act 2014. Whānau make decisions that promotes mokopuna safety and wellbeing.
Personnel management systems have been implemented. Kaimahi individual employment contracts are detailed and align to legislation. Job descriptions provide clarity for kaimahi of expected competencies. Whānau along with the support of the district office have started the appraisal process. Kaimahi and whanau are encouraged to participate in Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust courses. Mokopuna benefit from kaimahi committed to strengthening their professional capability.
Whānau acknowledge that te reo Māori requires strengthening. While some whānau are enrolled on Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust courses, whānau continue to seek alternative options such as digital learning. Mokopuna benefit when they are immersed in the Māori language.
It is time for kaimahi to review programme evaluation. 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 support kaimahi to enhance the quality of the learning programme for the mokopuna.
Whilst whānau have a strategic plan in place, they have not yet defined how they will achieve their aspirations for the future of the kōhanga reo. Mokopuna learning is enhanced when their future needs together with the aspirations of whānau are closely monitored, reviewed and evaluated.
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 the whānau seek support from the district office to complete and action plan to assist with achieving long and short-term priorities and strengthening programme evaluation.

I hangaia ai Te Kōhanga Reo o Wharekauri hei kōhanga reo ki te hapori o Te One, ki Wharekauri. He pai ki te whānau te taumata me te kounga o te mātauranga e whiwhia ana e ngā tamariki. Engari, me tahuri wawe ki te āta titiro ki te whakahaeretanga me te kāwanatanga a te whānau, me ngā āhuatanga matua e pā ana ki te hauora me te haumaru.
>Ka arotake anō Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i Te Kōhanga Reo o Wharekauri i roto ngā tau e rua.
E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Wharekauri ki te taha o te marae o Whakamāharatanga ki te hapori o Te One, i Wharekauri. Ko tēnei kōhanga reo tētahi o ngā whare kōhungahunga e toru i te moutere. E ai ki te whānau, he pai ki a rātou te taumata me te kounga o te mātauranga e whiwhia ana e ngā tamariki ki te kōhanga reo.
He maha ngā take nui hei whakatutukitanga mā te whānau, tae atu ki te tatauranga ki waenga i te tamaiti me te pakeke puta noa i te hōtaka akoranga, me te whakahaeretanga, te kāwanatanga hoki a te whānau i te kōhanga reo.
Ka kitea te harikoa, te māia hoki o ngā tamariki hei ākonga. Engari, me arotake te whakahaere a te whānau me ngā whakaritenga, hei āta whakatau i te hauora me te haumaru o te kōhanga reo mō ngā tamariki.
He tau ngā tamariki ki te kōhanga reo. He whakaute ō rātou hononga ki ngā kaimahi me ō rātou hoa. Ko ngā taunekeneke ki waenga i te whānau e āta whakatauira ana i ngā taunekeneke papai ki ngā tamariki. He ngāwari, he mārie hoki ngā kaimahi i a rātou e mahi ana ki te taha o ngā tamariki. Ka āta whakarite rātou kia poipoia te waiora ā-whatumanawa o ngā tamariki. He harikoakoa te mahi ngātahi a ngā tamariki ki te taha o ētahi atu. Ka tohatoha, ā, ka whai whakaaro nui hoki ki ō rātou hoa i a rātou e tākaro ana. He ākonga pakari ngā tamariki.
Ka ngākau nui ngā tamariki ki tētahi taiao e āta whakamana ana i a rātou hei ākonga pakari. E wātea ana ki ngā tamariki te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo rauemi ako. He maha ā rātou whai wāhitanga ki te kōkiri i ā rātou akoranga, me te hīraurau hopanga, te mahi auaha, me te tūhura i ngā tūmomo huarahi. Ka ū ngā tamariki ki ngā mahi mō ngā wā roroa. Ka tiaki rātou i ō rātou ake wāhi ako. He ngāwari, he riterite, he tau hoki ki ngā tamariki ngā mahinga me ngā whakawhitinga. Ka whai hua ngā tamariki nā tētahi hōtaka akoranga e riterite ana i tōna whakatakotoranga.
Kāhore te kaupapa o te kōhanga reo e whakapūmautia ana. Ko te reo Pākehā te reo matua ki te kōhanga reo. Kōrero Pākehā ai ngā tamariki me ngā kaimahi i te nuinga o te wā. E āhei ana ngā tamariki ki te kōkiri i tā rātou ake taki i ngā tūmomo tauira reo, pērā ki ngā karakia, ngā waiata, me ngā mihimihi. He mea nui kia tāutu ngā kaimahi i ngā rautaki ka whai hua ki te whakapiki ake i te āheinga me te tūmāia o ngā tamariki ki te kōrero i te reo Māori.
E whai kiko ana ngā mahere hōtaka akoranga. Ka taea te āta tāutu te kiko o te hōtaka, ngā rautaki mō te whakatinanatanga, me ngā rauemi e tika ana. Ka āta whakarite ngā mahere i te pai o te whakahaeretanga me te whakaritenga o te hōtaka. Ko te whai hanganga o te hōtaka e hāpai ana i te ū tonutanga me te waia o ngā tamariki ki ngā mahinga. E whai hua ana ngā tamariki nā tētahi hōtaka akoranga i āta whakamaheretia ai.
Ahakoa he pai ki te whānau ngā mahi e whakatutukihia ana mā ngā tamariki, he iti noa te kounga me te whānuitanga o ngā mahi a te whānau ki te whakamahere, te whakahaere, me te kāwana anō hoki i ngā āhuatanga katoa o te whakahaeretanga. Nā te ngoikore o ngā whakawhitinga kōrero, te kore māramatanga ki ngā tūranga o te whānau me ā rātou kawenga mahi, me te pā mai o te rongo whakaeo ki waenga i te whānau, kua whakaruhi ngā whakataunga i te whakahaeretanga, me te haumaru o ngā tamariki me ngā kaimahi ki te kōhanga reo.
Kāhore te whānau e tino mārama ana ki ngā mātāpono matua o te kōhanga reo, tae atu ki Ngā Pou e Whā, ki Te Korowai, ā, ki Te Whāriki hoki. Nā tēnei, he ngoikore te reo me ngā tikanga Māori puta noa i te hōtaka akoranga me ngā whakahaeretanga. Kāhore i te whānau te tirohanga pakari, te tirohanga ngātahi anō hoki mō te ahunga whakamua. Kāhore te tūtohinga e hāngai ana ki te wā, ā, kāhore hoki e whakapuaki ana i te kaupapa o te kōhanga reo i roto i ngā whakaritenga me ngā tukanga.
Me titiro ki te aromātai hōtaka. Kāhore he tuhinga hei tātari i ngā huarahi e aroturukitia ana te kounga o te hōtaka. Kāhore i ngā kaimahi tētahi tukanga ka āta whakarite i te whakahāngaitia o te hōtaka akoranga ki ngā matea ako o ngā tamariki katoa.
Kāhore i te rawaka te kiko ki ngā mahi aromatawai, hei hāpai i te ako a ngā tamariki. Kāhore ngā tuhinga mō ngā tamariki e tāutu ana i tā rātou ahu whakamua i roto i ā rātou akoranga. Kāhore i ngā kaimahi te tautoko e tika ana ki te whakatupu ake i tō rātou mōhiotanga ki te aromātai hōtaka me ngā mahi aromatawai. Mā te whakapai ake i ngā tukanga e pā ana ki te aromātai me te aromatawai, ka whakapiki ake i te kounga o te hōtaka akoranga mō ngā tamariki.
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.
I te wā o te arotake a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga, i tāutuhia ngā wāhanga e whai ake nei, kāhore e tutuki ana e ai ki te ture. Hei whakatutuki i ēnei āhuatanga, me tahuri te whānau ki te:

I whakawhanakehia e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga me te whānau o te kōhanga reo te taunakitanga e whai ake nei, arā, kia:
whakawhanakehia e te whānau – mā te tautoko anō hoki o Te Poari Matua o Ngā Kōhanga Reo – tētahi mahere mahi e whakatakoto ana i ngā kaupapa matua, hei whakatutuki wawe i ngā mahi me ngā herenga i tāutuhia ai ki tēnei pūrongo, ā, kāhore e tutuki ana e ai ki te ture.
I hangaia ai Te Kōhanga Reo o Wharekauri hei kōhanga reo ki te hapori o Te One, ki Wharekauri. He pai ki te whānau te taumata me te kounga o te mātauranga e whiwhia ana e ngā tamariki. Engari, me tahuri wawe ki te āta titiro ki te whakahaeretanga me te kāwanatanga a te whānau, me ngā āhuatanga matua e pā ana ki te hauora me te haumaru.
Ka arotake anō Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i Te Kōhanga Reo o Wharekauri i roto ngā tau e rua.

Te Kōhanga Reo o Wharekauri is a purpose built facility in the village of Te One on the Chatham Islands. The whānau are very pleased with the level and quality of education children receive. However whānau management and governance, and several aspects of health and safety require urgent attention.
The next ERO review of Te Kōhanga Reo o Wharekauri will be within two years.
Te Kōhanga Reo o Wharekauri is next to Whakamaharatanga Marae in the village of Te One, on the Chatham Islands. The kōhanga reo is one of three early childhood centres on the island. The whānau state that they are pleased with the level and quality of education children receive at kōhanga reo.
There are a considerable number of significant issues the whānau must address including child:adult ratios throughout the learning programme and management and governance of the kōhanga reo by the whānau.
Children show that they are happy and confident learners. However, whānau management and operations should be reviewed to ensure that the kōhanga reo provides a healthy and safe environment for the children.
Children are settled at kōhanga reo. They have respectful relationships with kaimahi and their peers. Whānau interactions with one another provide children with good models of positive interactions. Kaimahi are gentle and calm when working with children. They ensure that children’s emotional wellbeing is fostered. Children work happily with and alongside others. They share with and consider their peers during their play. Children are confident learners.
Children enjoy an environment where they are viewed as competent learners. Children have access to a range of learning resources. They have many opportunities to initiate their own learning and to problem solve, be creative and explore possibilities. Children are engaged for sustained periods of time. They take responsibility for looking after their learning spaces. Routines and transitions are smooth, consistent and familiar to children. Children benefit from a learning programme that is constant and predictable.
The kaupapa of te kōhanga reo is not reinforced. English is the dominant language at the kōhanga reo. Children and kaimahi speak English most of the time. All children are able to recite language patterns including karakia, waiata and mihimihi with very little support. It is important that kaimahi identify useful strategies to increase the capacity and confidence of children to speak te reo Māori.
Learning programme plans are detailed. Programme content, strategies for implementation and resource requirements can be clearly identified. The plans ensure that the programme is well managed and organised. The structured nature of the programme supports continuity and familiarity of routines for children. Children benefit from a well-planned learning programme.
While whānau are happy with what is happening for children, the quality and extent to which the whānau plans, manages and governs all areas of operations has been minimal. Poor communication, a lack of clarity of whānau roles and responsibilities, and a sense of disempowerment amongst whānau has resulted in decision making that has undermined the management and safety of children and kaimahi of the kōhanga reo.
The whānau does not have a clear understanding of the key foundation principles of kōhanga reo including Ngā Pou e Whā, Te Korowai and Te Whāriki. Consequently te reo and tikanga Māori are weak throughout the learning programme and operations. The whānau does not have a stable and shared whānau vision for positively moving forward. The current tūtohinga is outdated and does not reflect the kaupapa of kōhanga reo in practice and procedure.
Programme evaluation requires attention. There are no records to gauge how the quality of the programme is monitored. Kaimahi do not have a process to ensure the learning programme is adapted to respond to the learning needs of all children.
Assessment practices lack sufficient detail to support children’s learning. Children’s records do not identify their learning progress. Kaimahi do not have the support to grow their knowledge of programme evaluation and assessment practice. Improved evaluation and assessment processes will increase the quality of the learning programme 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.
During ERO’s onsite review, the following areas of non-compliance were identified. In order to address these, the whānau must:
3.1 ensure the required adult:child ratio with which the service provider is required to comply is met by the kōhanga reo
[Regulation 44(1) (b) Education (Early Childhood Services) Regulations 2008, (GMA7) Licensing Criteria for Kōhanga Reo affiliated with Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust 2008]
3.2 maintain room temperatures used by children are kept at a comfortable temperature no lower than 16°C (at 500mm above the floor) while children are attending
[Regulation 45 Education (Early Childhood Services) Regulations 2008, (GMA7) Licensing Criteria for Kōhanga Reo affiliated with Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust 2008]
3.3 maintain accurate records of all accidents and illnesses i.e. a record book is used to note any accidents or illnesses, dated and action taken by kaimahi. Clear systems for monitoring and analysing accidents should be in place
[Regulation 45 & 46 Education (Early Childhood Services) Regulations 2008, (GMA7) Licensing Criteria for Kōhanga Reo affiliated with Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust 2008]
3.4 ensure systems for the identification of hazards and regular environment checks are undertaken by the whānau and appropriate action taken and reported to whānau
[Regulation 45 & 46 (1) (2) Education (Early Childhood Services) Regulations 2008, (GMA7) Licensing Criteria for Kōhanga Reo affiliated with Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust 2008]
3.5 have robust systems in place for the administering of medicines with the written authority of parents and records maintained
[Regulation 46 (1) (2) Education (Early Childhood Services) Regulations 2008, (GMA7) Licensing Criteria for Kōhanga Reo affiliated with Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust 2008]
3.6 regularly monitor children’s sleep and display and record relevant regular checks for breathing and general wellbeing
[Regulation 45 & 46 (1) (2) Education (Early Childhood Services) Regulations 2008, (GMA7) Licensing Criteria for Kōhanga Reo affiliated with Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust 2008]
3.7 provide sufficient and suitable space for sleeping for infants.
[Regulation 45 Education (Early Childhood Services) Regulations 2008, (GMA7) Licensing Criteria for Kōhanga Reo affiliated with Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust 2008]
To improve current practice the whānau must:
ensure that children as learners receive Te Whāriki learning programmes that are inclusive, responsive to all needs, abilities and interests, and empowering whānau participation in mokopuna learning
[R43 Education (Early Childhood Services) Regulations 2008, (C7-10) Licensing Criteria for Kōhanga Reo affiliated with Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust 2008]
develop, implement and maintain an ongoing process of self-review to help the kōhanga reo maintain and improve the quality of its education and care
[R43 Education (Early Childhood Services) Regulations 2008, (GMA6) Licensing Criteria for Kōhanga Reo affiliated with Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust 2008]
implement and maintain suitable human resource management practices, including appraisal for staff and the provision of professional development
[R43 Education (Early Childhood Services) Regulations 2008, (GMA7) Licensing Criteria for Kōhanga Reo affiliated with Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust 2008]
ensure the service is effectively governed and appropriate documentation and records are maintained
[R47 Education (Early Childhood Services) Regulations 2008, (GMA4) Licensing Criteria for Kōhanga Reo affiliated with Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust 2008]
ensure all the required annual planning is maintained for the management of the kōhanga reo for children.
[R43 Education (Early Childhood Services) Regulations 2008, (GMA8) Licensing Criteria for Kōhanga Reo affiliated with Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust 2008]
All these matters were discussed with the whānau and Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust District Manager.
ERO and the Kōhanga Reo whānau developed the following recommendation:
The whānau, with the support of Te Kohanga Reo Trust, will develop an action plan that establishes key priorities to urgently address the key steps and non-compliance issues identified in this report.
Te Kōhanga Reo o Wharekauri is a purpose built facility in the village of Te One on the Chatham Islands. The whānau are very pleased with the level and quality of education children receive. However whānau management and governance, and several aspects of health and safety require urgent attention.
The next ERO review of Te Kōhanga Reo o Wharekauri will be within two years.

Education Review, June 2010 Education Review, May 2008 |
Wharekauri Te Kōhanga Reo is in Rekohu, the Chatham Islands. The Chatham Islands are remote and isolated and are accessible only by plane or by boat. Wharekauri is the only kōhanga reo on the Chatham Islands. The Moriori people are the tangāta whenua of the Chatham Islands. Ngāti Mutungā and Ngāti Tama people also inhabit the islands. Efforts are underway to revitalise and rejuvenate the language, tikanga and kawa of the islands.
The kōhangā reo whānau and community are committed to the revitalisation of te reo Māori and tikangā Māori. They are very well led by the kaiako of the kōhanga reo who is from Ngāi Tuhoe. She is a native speaker of te reo Māori and she makes every effort to help children to learn and to use te reo Māori.
Children are very well cared for and supported to learn by the adults who attend kōhanga reo daily. This is a whānau oriented kōhanga reo. There is a strong sense of whanaungatanga among those that attend kōhanga reo regularly.
The kōhanga reo environment is designed for children. There are many interesting places and spaces available for children at the kōhanga reo. These include the library corner, building and construction area and art and craft spaces. Children’s work is displayed and valued.
Whanau members are kept well informed about what happens at kōhanga reo through the regular newsletters that are sent home.
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.
Before the review, the whānau of Te Kōhanga Reo o Wharekauri was invited to consider its priorities for review using guidelines and resources provided by ERO.
The 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 Te Kōhanga Reo o Wharekauri.
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.
The kaiako selected all of Ngā Taumata Whakahirahira as the focus area for this review. This reflects the holistic way that these concepts are introduced to children.
Mana Tangata.Children are well supported to learn by the many adults who attend kōhanga reo daily. Parents contribute to design and implementation of the learning programme. They support children to become involved in organised activities by encouraging them and by offering praise and affirmation when appropriate. Parents and the wider community of the kōhanga reo attend the kōhanga reo regularly for celebrations and to visit.
Children participate in daily pepeha sessions. Older children are able to deliver their pepeha independently. Younger children are helped to present their pepeha to the group. Children demonstrate that they feel safe and secure in this kōhanga reo environment.
Mana Reo.Children are very well supported to learn and to use te reo Māori. The kaiako is native speaker of te reo Māori. She maintains a te reo Māori environment throughout the day. The kaiako makes every effort to engage children in te reo Māori conversations.
Mana Aotūroa.Children are empowered to make choices about what to do during the day. Many interesting and stimulating activities and resources are accessible and available for children. The learning programme is well managed and runs smoothly throughout the day. Staff members and whānau members know what to do and when.
Mana Whenua.Children know who they and where they come from. They are well supported to learn about the people and places of Rekohu. Children learn about local kinship groupings, and the culture and languages unique to the Chatham Islands.
Mana Atua.Children are settled, comfortable and confident in the kōhanga reo environment. Routines run smoothly and children know these well. There are positive and warm interactions and relationships. Children are provided with healthy food options.
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.
Programme planning.Programme plans guide the staff to provide a sound and interesting learning programme for children effectively. Programme plans are developed in consultation with the whānau members of the kōhanga reo. The learning programme is based onTe Whārikiand the four seasons of the year.
Whanau management.The whānau members manage the kōhanga reo well in the interest of children. Whānau members meet regularly to discuss kōhanga reo matters. They make decisions collaboratively. Meetings are well attended. The whānau supports each other and the staff to attend and participate in training. A recent wānanga was well attended and popular. The whānau members set goals for the future development of the kōhanga reo and for themselves.
Strategic planning.There are comprehensive strategic plans to guide the future direction of the kōhanga reo. Te Ara Tūāpae framework guides the whānau by providing a strategic direction based on the revitalisation of te reo Māori. The whānau members have considered how the Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust plan relates to them and then have personalised it to their unique context. There is regular monitoring and reporting about progress made toward achieving the defined long term goals.
Self review.Self review practice is well established. The whānau is clear about aspects of kōhanga reo operations that are working well and the areas where improvements can be made. The staff and whānau are on a journey of continual improvement.
Assessment.The kaiako tracks children’s progress and development over time. Children have their own profile books that document their learning journey during their time at kōhanga reo. The kaiako acknowledges the need to improve the quality of the profiles for the older children.
Programme evaluation. Programme evaluation is developing. The whānau of the kōhanga reo contributes ideas as to how aspects of kōhanga reo operations can be improved over time. Kaupapa reflections are discussed at whānau hui with whānau members. This whānau seeks to constantly improve practice.

These are the findings of the Education Review Office’s latest report on Te Kōhanga Reo o Wharekauri.
Wharekauri Te Kōhanga Reo is in Rekohu, the Chatham Islands. The Chatham Islands are remote and isolated and are accessible only by plane or by boat. Wharekauri is the only kōhanga reo on the Chatham Islands. The Moriori people are the tangāta whenua of the Chatham Islands. Ngāti Mutungā and Ngāti Tama people also inhabit the islands. Efforts are underway to revitalise and rejuvenate the language, tikanga and kawa of the islands.
The kōhangā reo whānau and community are committed to the revitalisation of te reo Māori and tikangā Māori. They are very well led by the kaiako of the kōhanga reo who is from Ngāi Tuhoe. She is a native speaker of te reo Māori and she makes every effort to help children to learn and to use te reo Māori.
Children are very well cared for and supported to learn by the adults who attend kōhanga reo daily. This is a whānau oriented kōhanga reo. There is a strong sense of whanaungatanga among those that attend kōhanga reo regularly.
The kohanga reo environment is designed for children. There are many interesting places and spaces available for children at the kōhanga reo. These include the library corner, building and construction area and art and craft spaces. Children’s work is displayed and valued.
Whanau members are kept well informed about what happens at kōhanga reo through the regular newsletters that are sent home.
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 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 student achievement and useful to this kōhanga reo.

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.
