View on mapE tū ana Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Ngāti Ruanui ki Hāwera. Ko Ngāti Ruanui tētahi o ngā iwi i te rohe o Taranaki. Ka whakarato te kura i te mātauranga e ahu mai ana i ngā tikanga whakaaro o Te Aho Matua, ki ngā ākonga o ngā tau 1 ki te 8. He whakaritenga tā rātou ko Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Tūpoho, kia whakaratohia te mātauranga mō ngā ākonga o ngā tau 9 ki te 13, i te whānau e whakapūmau ana i te tū kē o te kura hei kura hiato. E whakatairangatia ana te reo o Ngāti Ruanui me te reo rotarota puta noa i te kura.
Whai muri i te pūrongo o mua a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i te tau 2014, kua tīni te ārahitanga. Kua whakatūngia tētahi tumuaki whakakapi, tae noa ki te wā ka tū tētahi ki te tūnga pūmau. He iti noa ngā rerekētanga ki te poari, ā, he tokomaha o rātou e tū mātātoa ana hoki hei kaiārahi o Ngāti Ruanui.
E noho tuwhera ana ngā ngākau o ngā ākonga ki te aroha, te koa, me te hari.
E whiwhi ana ngā ākonga i ngā akoranga e aro matua ana ki ō rātou tuakiri, tō rātou reo, me tō rātou ahurea. Ko ngā tikanga tuku iho o Ngāti Ruanui e whakaaweawe ana i ngā tūmanako me ngā whakaritenga i te kura. E mōhio ana ngā kaiako, kei te hāpai taua aronga i ngā ākonga ki te āta tūhonohono ki waenga i a rātou anō, ki te hapori Māori anō hoki mā te manaakitanga me te noho whakaute. Nā ngā karakia, ngā mōteatea, me ngā waiata, ka pupū ake ngā whai wāhitanga mō ngā ākonga ki te whakahōhonu ake i tō rātou māramatanga ki tā rātou whai wāhi nui, ō rātou hononga anō hoki ki roto i ngā hapū me te iwi. Tū ai ngā wānanga reo i ia te wā, hei whakatairanga ake i ngā mōhiotanga o ngā ākonga, ā, e whai hononga ana ēnei ki te mahere mātauranga a Ngāti Ruanui. Ka tūmāia ngā ākonga nā tō rātou mōhio ki a rātou anō, ki ō rātou tūrangawaewae hoki.
E rumakina ana ngā ākonga ki te reo me ngā tikanga o Ngāti Ruanui. Ko te tauāki taketake o te kura e kī ana Ko tōku reo, ko tōku taonga; ko tōku taonga, ko tōku reo, ā, koia nei te tūāpapa o te ako i te reo me te whakawhanaketanga reo. E hāpaitia ana te whakawhānui ake, te whakapai ake a ngā kaimahi i tō rātou mātau ki te reo o Ngāti Ruanui. Ka ārahi ngā kuia me ngā kaumātua i te whakamahinga reo, me te reo ā-iwi hoki o Ngāti Ruanui. Kua whakatō ki ngā whakaritenga o te kura, ko ngā waiata, ngā kōrero tuku iho, me ngā karakia o te takiwā nei. E āta poipoi ana, e āta whāngai ana te whānau i ngā ākonga kia tū rātou ā tōna wā hei kaikōrero, hei kaikaranga rānei ki ō rātou marae. Kua tāutuhia e ngā kaimahi ngā matea ako o ngā ākonga e uru mai ana ki te kura me te iti noa o te reo, ā, ka whakahāngai pū i te tautoko e tika ana mō rātou. Ka whakamahi i ngā hōtuku aromatawai hei tāutu i te ahu whakamua i roto i te pānui, te tuhituhi, me te kōrero. Ka whakamahi ngā kaiako i te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo rautaki ka kōkiri i te whakawhanaketanga reo, tae atu ki te whakapuaki māhorahora nei i te reo rotarota, hei āhuatanga tonu o te hōtaka o ia rā. E mōhio whānuitia ana te kura mō ōna pūkenga ki te whakawhitiwhiti kōrero mā te reo rotarota o te reo Māori. E whanake ana ngā ākonga ki te kōrero i te reo o Ngāti Ruanui.
Ka kitea ki ngā ākonga ō rātou ake manawa whakahī mō ō rātou whānau, ō rātou hapū, me ō rātou iwi. Ko te whakamaheretanga me te whakatinanatanga o te marautanga, ka whakahāngaitia e te whānau me ngā kaiako ki te hītori o Ngāti Ruanui me ngā hononga ki ērā atu o ngā hapū me ngā iwi o Taranaki. Ka whakarato te whānau i ngā wheako ā-hītori, ā-tōrangapū, ā-ohaoha hoki e āta hono ana ki ngā whakawhanaketanga o te iwi. Kei te mārama haere ngā ākonga ki ō rātou tūnga, ā rātou kawenga mahi hoki hei kaitiaki o te whenua. Kei te harikoa rātou i te wā e noho mārama ana ki a rātou ā rātou ake whai wāhi nui ki te whakarauoratanga o tō rātou whenua. Ka hāpai ngā kaiako i ngā ākonga ki te whakahonohono ki ngā tū rōpū i te hapori me te takiwā, hei whakawhānui ake anō hoki i tō rātou māramatanga ki ngā pātuitanga ki ētahi atu. Ka whakatairangatia ngā pūkenga ārahi i roto i te kura, ā, e ākina ana ngā ākonga kia tū ake hei kaiārahi ki te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo horopaki ako. He manawa whakahī tō ngā ākonga hei uri o Ngāti Ruanui.
E whai wāhi atu ana ngā ākonga ki te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo horopaki ako e whakanui ana i tō rātou tū ki te ao Māori me te ao whānui. Ka ako ngā ākonga i ngā tino take e pā ana ki te taiao me te whakauka o te whenua me ngā rawa taiao. E whakarato ana aua wheako ako i ngā whai wāhitanga mō ngā tamariki ki te whakangahau i a rātou e ako ana. Kua mahi ngā ākonga ki te taha o ngā whānau nō ētahi atu hapū ki te tāutu i ngā tikanga ahurea e tika ana ki te whakapūmau tonu i te oranga māoriori tonu o te ao tūroa. Ka āta whakamahere ngā kaiako kia whakaaro kaikini ai ngā ākonga ki aua take. Ka akiaki rātou i ngā ākonga ki te whai wāhi nui atu ki te aronga rautaki o Ngāti Ruanui me te iwi. Ko ngā tino take motuhake mā rātou, ko ērā e hāngai katoa ana ki te tiaki taiao, te whakapapa, me te tōrangapū. Ka kitea ki ngā ākonga ō rātou ngākau nui, ō rātou manawa whakahī anō hoki ki te ārai, te manaaki, me te tiaki anō hoki i ngā tini āhuatanga katoa e whai pānga nui ana ki a rātou, ā, ki tō rātou iwi whānui hoki.
He mātātoa te whai wāhi atu a ngā ākonga ki ngā akoranga. E whakatakoto ana ngā tohu raukura i ngā tino tūmanako mō te whakawhanaketanga o ngā ākonga - ā-tangata, ā-tinana, ā-hinengaro, ā-whatumanawa hoki - mā te horopaki tonu o te Ngāti Ruanuitanga. Ko te whakaritenga o ngā rōpū mō ngā akoranga me ētahi atu o ngā kaupapa i te kura, e ahu mai ana i te taiao, te waiora, me te āio. Ka whai wāhi aua pūmanawa ki ngā mahi ki te whakamahere i te marautanga ā-kura hou. Ka whakamahia e ngā kaiako ngā wānanga hei akiaki i ngā ākonga ki te whakawhiti kōrero, te whakapuaki whakaaro, me te āta whakarongo ki ngā whakaaro o ētahi atu. Hui ai ngā kaiako i ia te wā ki te whakamahere ngātahi me te whakawhiti kōrero mō ngā whai wāhitanga ako o ia ākonga, ā, mō ngā tū rōpū ākonga hoki. Ko ētahi o ngā hōtaka tautoko, rauemi tautoko hoki i whakahāngaitia ai mō ngā ākonga, ko tētahi hōtaka ārahitanga mā ngā tama tāne e ahu mai ana i ngā tikanga, ko ngā akoranga whakawhānui i roto i te pāngarau, ā, ko te tautoko ake i ngā kaimahi hei hāpai i te pānui i roto i ngā akomanga o ngā tēina. He pai ngā mōhiohio e whiwhi ana ngā whānau mō te ahu whakamua me te whakawhanaketanga o ā rātou tamariki. He pai ngā whakatutukitanga o ngā ākonga, ā, e whakatinana ana rātou i ngā tūmanako me ngā wawata o tō rātou iwi.
He aronga nahanaha tā te whānau ki te whakatōpū i te ratonga o te mātauranga wharekura mō ngā ākonga o ngā tau 9 ki te 13. I roto i ngā tau e toru e whai ake nei, ka whakatinanahia taua mahere. He mārama ngā hononga ki te marautanga o Te Aho Matua me te Mahere Mātauranga ā-Iwi o Ngāti Ruanui. I tēnei wā e whakapuakihia ana te hōtaka mō ngā ākonga o te tau 9 me te tau 10 ki te kura, ā, kua whakauru ngā ākonga tuākana ki Te Taumata Mātauranga ā-Motu kua Taea, ā, kei Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Tūpoho ētahi o ā rātou akoranga. E hāngai ana te marautanga mō ngā ākonga o te wharekura ki te marau ā-kura, ā, he aronga nui hoki ki ngā kaupapa matua, pērā i Te Reo Māori, Te Reo Pākehā, me te Pāngarau.
Ka taea ngā akoranga me ngā putanga ki ngā ākonga te whakatairanga ake mā te riterite ake i te āhua o ngā mahi whakaako. E mōhio ana te whānau o te kura, kāhore i te riterite ngā whakaritenga whakaako i te kura, me te whai pānga pea o taua āhuatanga ki ngā painga mō ngā ākonga. E pūkeke ana te whānau o te kura ki te hāpai me te whakawhanake i te riterite ake o te taumata o ngā whakaritenga whakaako, kia āta eke ai ngā putanga o ngā ākonga katoa, puta noa i te kura. E akiaki ana Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga kia noho tēnei hei whakaritenga matua ka whai ake, kia āta whakatairangatia ake te whai wāhi mai o ngā ākonga ki ngā akoranga me ā rātou paetae.
Waihoki, kua tāutuhia e te whānau ngā whakaritenga matua ka wāhi ake, hei whakapakari ake i te kounga o te mātauranga o ngā ākonga, arā, kia:
E whanake ana te ārahitanga, ā, he aronga rautaki ki te whakapakari ake i te āheinga o ngā kaimahi katoa ki te tū hei kaiārahi. I rīhaina te tumuaki whai muri i ngā tau rua tekau o tōna whai wāhi nui ki te kura, ki te taha o ngā ākonga, te whānau, me te hapori. E whakarato ana tētahi tumuaki whakakapi i te ārahitanga pakari mō te whānau me ngā kaimahi. Ka mahi ngātahi te tumuaki, he aronga whakakotahi hoki tāna, ā, ka whakapuaki hoki ia i ngā whai wāhitanga mō ngā kaimahi ki te tū ake ki ngā tūranga ārahi ake me te whai atu i ngā kawenga mahi.
He pūnaha ā te poari hei hāpai i ngā kaimahi me ngā ākonga. Kua roa nei te nuinga o ngā kaitiaki e whakarato ana i ō rātou pūkenga ki te kura. Ko te tū auau o ngā hui, ko te pakari anō hoki o te pūrongo i ngā paetae ākonga me tā rātou ahu whakamua, e hāpai ana i ngā mahi whakatau a te poari. E tino māramahia ana te arotake whaiaro, ā, ka whakamahia hei whakapai ake i ngā putanga ki ngā ākonga, hei tāutu i ngā whai wāhitanga whakawhanaketanga, ā, hei whakapūmau anō hoki i te whai wāhi mai o te hapori. E arotahi ana te poari ki te whakapai ake i ngā putanga ako ki ngā ākonga.
I mua atu i te whakahaerenga o te arotake i whakatutukihia e te poari me te tumuaki he Tauāki Kupu Tūturu a te Whānau mā Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga, me tētahi Rārangi Arowhai Tātari Whaiaro. 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 paetae o ngā ākonga:
E taunaki ana Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga kia tahuri te whānau o te kura ki te:
E tū ana Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Ngāti Ruanui ki Hāwera. E noho tuwhera ana ngā ngākau o ngā ākonga ki te aroha, te koa, me te hari. Ka ako rātou ki tētahi taiao e ahu mai ana i ngā uara, ngā whakapono, me ngā ariā o Ngāti Ruanui me Te Aho Matua. E rumakina ana ngā ākonga ki te reo me ngā tikanga o Ngāti Ruanui. Ka kitea tō rātou manawa whakahī mō ō rātou whānau, tō rātou iwi, me ō rātou hapū. E whai wāhi atu ana ngā ākonga ki te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo horopaki ako e whakamana ana i tō rātou tū ki te ao Māori me te ao whānui. E āta whakatutukihia ana ngā matea ake o ia ākonga e te whānau.
Tērā ka whakahaeretia e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga te arotake whai muri o Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Ngāti Ruanui i roto i ngā tau e toru, arā, ko Te Rākeitanga.

Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Ngāti Ruanui is in Hāwera. Ngāti Ruanui is one of the iwi within the Taranaki region. The kura provides education based on the philosophy of Te Aho Matua for students from Years 1 to 8. The kura has a satellite arrangement with Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Tūpoho to provide education for Year 9 to 13 students while the whānau seeks composite status. Te reo o Ngāti Ruanui and te reo rotarota are promoted throughout the kura.
Since the previous ERO report in 2014, there has been a leadership change. An acting tumuaki is in place until a permanent appointment can be made. There have been limited change to the board of trustees, many of whom are active leaders in Ngāti Ruanui.
Students are receptive to aroha, joy and laughter.
Students experience learning where their identity, language and culture is a priority. Ngāti Ruanui traditions influence expectations and practices in the kura. Kaiako acknowledge that this approach enables students to establish caring and respectful relationships with each other and in the Māori community. Karakia, mōteatea and waiata provide opportunities for students to grow a deeper understanding of their place and connections within the hapū and iwi. There are regular wānanga reo to enhance student knowledge with links to Ngāti Ruanui education plan. Students are confident in who they are and where they come from.
Students are immersed in the language and tikanga of Ngāti Ruanui. The kura mission statement Ko tōku reo, ko tōku taonga; ko tōku taonga, ko tōku reo provides a foundation for language learning and development. Kaimahi are supported to increase and improve their Ngāti Ruanui language proficiency. Kuia and kaumātua guide language usage and Ngāti Ruanui dialect. Local waiata, stories and karakia are embedded in kura practices. Whānau are deliberately nurturing and growing students to be the future kaikōrero and kaikaranga for their marae. Kaimahi have identified the learning needs of students who enter the kura with limited reo and targeted support is provided for them. Assessment data is used to identify progress in pānui, tuhituhi and kōrero. Kaiako use a range of strategies to accelerate language development including the natural use of te reo rotarota as part of the daily programme. The kura is renowned for its strength to communicate using Te Reo Māori sign language. Students are developing as speakers of te reo o Ngāti Ruanui.
Students exhibit personal pride in their whānau, hapū and iwi. Whānau and kaiako base curriculum planning and implementation on Ngāti Ruanui history and the connections to other hapū and iwi in Taranaki. Whānau provide historical, political and economic experiences that are closely linked to iwi development. Students are coming to understand their roles and responsibilities as kaitiaki of the land. They are happy when they understand their personal contribution to the revitalisation of their whenua. Kaiako support students to establish relationships with local and wider community groups to extend their understanding of partnerships with others. Leadership skills are promoted within the kura and students are encouraged to take leadership roles in a range of learning contexts. Students are proud descendants of Ngāti Ruanui.
Students experience a range of learning situations that acknowledge their place in both the Māori and the wider world. Students learn about important environmental issues and the sustainability of the land and natural resources. These learning experiences provide children opportunities to have fun while they are learning. Students have worked alongside the whānau from other hapū to identify good cultural practices to maintain the integrity of the living world. Kaiako deliberately plan for students to think critically about these matters. They encourage students to influence the strategic direction for Ngāti Ruanui and the iwi. The issues of greatest importance have been related to conservation, whakapapa and politics. Students show passion and pride to protect, care for and preserve all that has an impact on them and their greater iwi.
Students are actively engaged in learning. The graduate profile provides clear expectations for students’ social, physical intellectual and emotional development in a Ngāti Ruanuitanga context. The organisation of groups for learning and other kura activities is based on taiao, waiora and āio. These attributes are part of the planning for the new kura curriculum. Wānanga is a process used by kaiako to encourage students to discuss, share ideas and to listen respectfully to the opinions of others. Kaiako meet regularly to plan together and discuss learning opportunities for individuals and groups of students. Targeted support programmes and resources for students include a tikanga-based mentoring for male students, pāngarau extension, and additional support staff to assist with pānui in junior classrooms. Whānau receive good information about progress and development of their children. Students are achieving well and exemplify the hopes and aspirations of their people.
The whānau have a planned approach to consolidate the provision of wharekura education for students in Years 9 to 13. This plan will be implemented over the next three years. There are clear links to Te Aho Matua curriculum and Ngāti Ruanui Iwi Education Plan. Currently the programme for Year 9 and 10 students is delivered at the kura, while senior students are enrolled in NCEA and attend some classes at Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Tūpoho. The curriculum for wharekura students is based on the marau ā-kura with an emphasis on core subjects such as Te Reo Māori, English and Pāngarau.
Student learning and outcomes can be further enhanced with greater consistency in teaching for learning. The kura whanau recognise that teaching practices are variable across the kura and the potential impact on outcomes for learners. The kura whānau are determined to support and develop more consistency of standard with teaching practice that maximises outcomes for all learners across the kura. ERO encourages this as a key next step to enhance student engagement and achievement.
Furthermore, the whānau has identified key next steps to strengthen the quality of education for students:
Leadership is developing with a strategic focus to build capability of all staff to be leaders. The former principal resigned after twenty years of service alongside students, whānau and community of the kura. An acting principal provides stable leadership for the whānau and staff. The acting principal is collaborative and inclusive, and shares provides opportunities for staff to steps into specific leadership roles and responsibilities.
The board of trustees has systems in place to support staff and students. Most board members have had a long history of service in the kura. Regular meetings and strong reporting on student achievement and progress supports the board’s decision making. Self-review is well understood and to improve learning outcomes for students, identify development opportunities and maintain a presence in the community. The board of trustees is focussed on improving learning outcomes for students.
Before the review, the board of trustees and principal completed the ERO Whānau Assurance Statement and Self-Audit Checklists. In these documents they 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 student achievement:
ERO recommends that the kura whānau:
The next ERO review of Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Ngāti Ruanui will be in three years – Te Rākeitanga – Expansive Evaluation.

Tōku reo tōku taonga, tōku taonga tōku reo
Kei Hawera Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Ngāti Ruanui.
Kua oti i te whānau te whakawhanaunga ki ētehi atu kura kuapapa Māori i tō rātou rohe. Haere nei te wā, ka whakapā atu rātou ki a rātou, ka whai wāhi hoki rātou ki ngā kaupapa me ngā mahi o te wā. Ko te iwitanga me ngā kaiwaiwhakaheke tētehi aro whakahirahira o ngā rangahau a ngā tauira. Kua tae atu rātou ki ngā wāhi whakahirahira o te iwi, ā, kua māro ngā taura here tangata i waenganui i te whānau me te hāpori o te marae.
E whanake tonu ana ngā tino o ngā tauira i roto i te reo Māori, i te karakia me ngā waiata a Ngāti Ruanui. E waia ana rātou ki ngā tikanga Māori, ā, he māia ki te whakaū. He hūmarie, he whakaaro nui, he māia hoki ngā tauira. Ka mana i ngā tuakana ngā āhuatanga o te rangatiratanga, ā, he kaha hoki ki te hiki i te mānuka.
E harikoa ana ngā tauira, e kuhu ana ki ngā akoranga. Kei te mōhio nga kaiako ki ngā tauira, ā, ko te aronui he whakarato i ngā wheako ako e whai mana ana ki a rātou. Ka tautoko te whānau i ngā tauira, inā rā, ngā hui me ngā kaupapa o te kāinga. He mataara ngā tauira, ā, e pai ana ki a rātou kia whai wāhi atu.
Kei te aro te whānau me te hāpori whānui ki te whakatinana i ngā akoranga wharekura mā ngā tuākana. He kaha te tautoko mō tēnei kaupapa e āhei ai ngā tauira ki:
Kua roa te whānau e whakapau kaha ana ki tēnei kaupapa.
He pai te whakatinanatanga o ngā tauira i ngā wawata me ngā moemoeā o te iwi.
Kei te mōhio ngā tauira ki ō rātou hononga ki te whānau me te hāpori o te kāinga. E mārama ana ki a rātou te mana o te whakapapa, te tuakiritanga me te tūrangawaewae. Ka haere rātou ki ngā wāhi whakahirahira e hiahia nei rātou kia rongo ai rātou i ngā kōrero tuku iho mō te iwi. Ka tae atu rātou ki ngā marae me te whai wheako mō te kawa o te marae, mō te whaikōrero, mō te karakia me ngā waiata tawhito. E whai wāhi atu ana ki ngā āhuatanga ako o ngā tauira ngā mātāpono me ngā whakapono o te kura. He whakatinanatanga tēnei o te motuhaketanga o te Ngāti Ruanuitanga. E tino manaakitia ana ngā tauira, he tau, he harikoa hoki.

E whakamahia ana ia rā ngā kīanga me ngā rerenga o Taranaki ake. E whakaāhuatia ana hoki i roto i ngā akomanga. Ka whai wāhi atu ngā tauira ki te pupuritanga o te reo, ki ngā kaupapa o Taranaki, ā, ka whakaurua te pupuritanga o ngā waiata, o ngā karakia me ngā pūrākau hoki. Kei te waia rātou ki ngā momo reo e toru, ā, kei te whakatinana rātou i te reo-ā-ringa, i te reo Pākehā me te reo Māori. Kei te pakari haere ngā tauira i roto i ō rātou ake pūkenga i te reo Māori. Ka harikoa ngā tauira i te haumako o te taiao ako i te reo.
E akiakitia ana te whānau ki te whakamahi i ngā akoranga reo Māori o te pō, ngā āhuatanga rānei e nui ake ai te tautoko ki a rātou tamariki. Kei te whakamana te whānau i te kōrerotanga o te reo Māori ki te kāinga hei tautoko i te whakawhanaketanga o te reo. Mā te pai o te mahitahi i roto i te ako me te whakakōrero i te reo e nui ai ngā hua me te tautoko ki ngā akoranga a ngā tauira me tā rātou koke.
He kaha te hono o ngā tauira ki tō rātou tūrangawaewae. Kei te ako rātou mō ō rātou whānau, ō rātou hapū me ō rātou iwi.

Ko ngā haerenga ki ngā wāhi whakahirahira o te rohe te kaiwhakapūmau i ngā kawaiwhakaheke. Kua oti te whakatau ki te kōrero me te tomo atu ki ngā kura kaupapa Māori o te rohe. Kua māro ngā here ki ngā kura i tēnei rautaki whakakotahi. Ka hui tahi ngā kura mō ngā kaupapa hākinakina, ā, he rawe hoki ki a rātou ēnei kaupapa.

The whānau have focused their efforts in this area over a long period of time.
Students exemplify the hopes and aspirations of their people well.
Students know about their connections to whānau and the local community. They understand the importance of whakapapa, identity and belonging. They visit significant areas of interest and hear stories about their iwi. They visit local marae and experience marae kawa, whaikōrero karakia and traditional waiata. Kura values and beliefs are an influential part of what students learn. These express the unique character of Ngāti Ruanuitanga. Students are well cared for, settled and happy.
Students recognise the link between te reo Māori and their identity. They are learning the nuances of their dialect. Students are exposed to good language models. Local sayings and terms specific to Taranaki are used daily. These are also displayed in classrooms. Students participate in the maintenance of te reo o Taranaki initiatives and incorporate the maintenance of waiata, karakia and pūrākau. They are familiar with and practice three languages, te reo Rotarota (Sign), English and Māori. Students continue to develop their individual te reo Māori skills. Students enjoy a rich language learning environment.
Whānau are encouraged to take advantage of the night class or other opportunities to learn te reo Māori to support their children. The whānau acknowledge that the use of te reo Māori in the home will support language development. Positive whānau engagement in language learning and use will benefit and support student learning and progress.
Students have a strong sense of belonging. They learn about whānau, hapū and iwi. They attend whānau, hapū and iwi events including Te Rā o Parihaka, Pōmare Day and Puna Wai which is an iwi environmental study. Outings to places of cultural significance in their area affirm ancestral links. There has been a positive decision to communicate and engage with other kura kaupapa Māori in the area. This collaborative strategy has strengthened ties between kura. Kura join together for sports events and they enjoy this experience. The kura whānau and students support tangihanga and contribute to various roles and responsibilities such as kitchen duties, marae preparation and provide waiata support. Students engage with whānau, hapū and iwi in many ways with pride.
Students are learning about the importance of kaitiakitanga. They are actively engaged in an iwi initiative to save vital water resources. Students know the importance of sustainability of resources for the future. They have respect for ngā atua Māori. Students take care of their kura environment and support their recycling programme. ICT is available to students enabling links to the wider world. Students practice kaitiakitanga in their immediate environment and local community.
Students are happy and involved in learning. Students are responsive and willing to participate. The immersion setting and associated tikanga supports and nurtures students’ wellbeing. Many have experienced this since their transition from kōhanga reo to kura. They have good relationships with their kaiako. Students experience individual, small group and whole kura teaching and learning.
Students learning needs are well catered for particularly those who need support with te reo Māori. Kaiako know their students well. Class routines are well established. Kaiako planning is consistent and appropriate for year groups. Individual profile books contain a range of assessment results across literacy and numeracy. School wide data has been gathered over a number of years. While this data shows a decline in progress it is important to acknowledge the context of a transient student group and recent staff turnover. Reporting to parents follows the Ngā Whanaketanga Reo Māori (NMRM) format. Weekly newsletters inform the whānau about kura events, celebrations, achievements and successes. Students enjoy learning.
Self review is a positive feature. An established reporting culture is strongly evident in Board of Trustees (BOT) minutes. These include reporting on the kura curriculum, personnel, finance, property, health and safety, legislation and community liaison. Policy and procedure review occurs each month. Steady progress is evident throughout the kura. The board reflects the collective voice of whānau.
The long serving principal provides strong leadership for her staff and students. She presents comprehensive and detailed reports to the BOT covering all aspects of education, management and leadership. She consistently encourages whānau and past students to pursue careers in education as part of the succession plan for the kura. She is also a key figure in her community and has established networks which include other kura kaupapa Māori, iwi, hapū and whānau. The principal is a professional model for her staff.
BOT members have a range of skills and they represent sectors of the community that will progress kura aspirations for their students. The whānau have access to iwi initiatives and programmes with the support of these members. They effectively manage their roles and responsibilities. They are aware of whānau aspirations for their children. They are currently discussing a way forward to gain Wharekura status. The principal and BOT have a good working relationship.
Before the review, the whānau and Tumuaki completed the ERO Whānau Assurance Statement and Self-Audit Checklists. In these documents they 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 student achievement:
