Kia waia te tamaiti ki tōna ake ao kātahi
Kia eke, eke panuku
Eke, eke Tangaroa
Ā tōna wā ka puta māia atu ki te ao whānui
Ko te pupuri me te tiaki i te reo me ngā tikanga o Ngāti Te Ata e pou here tonu ana i ngā akoranga me ngā whakaakoranga ki Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Waiuku. Ko ngā roto, ngā awa, me te moana e pā tata ana ki te kura, ngā tino rauemi e hāpai ana i tēnei kura ki te kōkiri tonu i tōna kaupapa motuhake, tōna marautanga motuhake anō hoki, ara, ko Ākona mā te wai. Nā ēnei arawai, ka whai kiko, ka whai pūtake anō hoki ngā wheako mō ngā ākonga me tō rātou whānau, hei ako, hei whakamana, hei kaingākau. He hiahia tō rātou ki te tiaki i ēnei mō ngā rā kei te heke mai.
Ka ako ngā ākonga me tō rātou whānau i te whakahirahiratanga o ngā wāhi, ngā kōrero, ngā tikanga tuku iho, me ngā tupuna e whai pānga ana ki tō rātou whenua. Ko te kaitiakitanga tētahi āhuatanga nui o ngā akoranga a ngā ākonga. He mātātoa tā rātou whai wāhi atu ki te mau pūmau i ngā kaupapa e pā ana ki te iwi o Tainui me te Kīngitanga.
I whakaritea e te whānau ko ngā wāhanga oĀkona mā te waio 2012, te arotahi o te kaupapa aromātai mō tēnei arotake. Ko ngā putanga nā te arotake whaiaro i ia te wā, e hāngai ana ki te haere tonutanga o ngā matea o ngā ākonga mō te whakawhanaketanga o te reo Māori. Ko te reo matatini, te pāngarau, te noho haumaru ki te wai, me te whakareri mō te whakataetae waka ama, ētahi wāhanga e whakatutuki haere ana te kura i tēnei wāhanga o te tau. Ko te Paimārire ngā karakia i ia rā, ā, e whai pānga ana tēnei ki te kaupapa e pā ana ki te Kīngitanga.
E whakahaerehia ana te kura i raro i ngā mātāpono o Te Aho Matua. Ka kitea ngā mātāpono nei, ki te noho pūmau o te whānau, ngā kaiako, me te iwi ki te whakarato i ngā whai wāhitanga akoranga o te kounga pai mō ngā ākonga.

Ka arotakehia anō e te Tari Arotake Mātauranga te kura, hei wāhanga o te huringa arotake o te wā.
Ko te pupuri me te tiaki i te reo me ngā tikanga o Ngāti Te Ata e pou here tonu ana i ngā akoranga me ngā whakaakoranga ki Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Waiuku. Ko ngā tūmomo arawai e pā tata ana ki te kura, ngā tino rauemi tonu e hāpai ana i tēnei kura ki te kōkiri tonu i tōna kaupapa motuhake, tōna marautanga motuhake anō hoki, ara, ko ‘Ākona mā te wai.’ Nā ēnei arawai, ka whai kiko, ka whai pūtake anō hoki ngā wheako mō ngā ākonga me tō rātou whānau. Ka ako rātou mā te whānuitanga o ngā tirohanga e pā ana ki ngā arawai, ā, ka ako hoki i te whai huatanga o ēnei rauemi, tae atu ki ngā pātaka kai, te noho haumaru ki te wai, te hoe waka, me te whakamana i te wai.

Ko te noho ngātahi oĀkona mā te waime ngā mātāpono o Te Aho Matua, e whakarato ana i te horopaki me te kounga o te mātauranga mō ngā ākonga.
Ka whakamahi te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i te kaupapa aromātai hei arotahi mō tēnei arotake. I whakaritea e te whānau me ngā kaimahi te kaupapa aromātai e whai ake nei:
Ākona mā te wai kia waia te tamaiti ki tōna ake ao
Ko ngā whakaaturanga o tēnei aromātai ka whakakoia i te whakarite tonu o te whānau me Ngāti Te Ata i ngā ākonga mō ngā tau kei te heke mai, me ngā huarahi ka whāia e rātou, mā te whakarato i tētahi marautanga e hāngai pū ana ki te ākonga.
He nui noa atu te whai huatanga oĀkona mā te wai, ehara ki ngā ākonga anake, engari kē ki tō rātou hapori, ki Aotearoa, ki tua atu hoki. He kaupapa tēnei mō te oranga o te tangata, ā, ka whakapūmau tēnei i ngā wawata o Ngāti Te Ata mō ngā whakatupuranga kei te heke mai.

E rapu huarahi ana ngā kaiako ki te whakatīmata i ngā whakawhitinga kōrero ki te Tāhuhu o te Mātauranga, hei hāpai i a rātou i tēnei wā, i te wā e rapu huarahi tonu ana te Rūnanga nui o Ngā Kura Kaupapa Māori o Aotearoa i roto i tēnei āhuatanga. I tēnei wā e whakamahi ana ngā kaiako i ngā aromatawai o Te Marautanga o Aotearoa i whakaemihia ai e ētahi atu kura. E tika ana ngā aromatawai e hāngai ana ki ngā kaupapa, mō te marautanga o te kura. Ko ngā mōhiohio e pā ana ki te paetae o te reo Māori i te wāhanga tuatahi, e tohu ana i te iti noa o ngā āheinga o ngā ākonga i roto i te reo Māori. He whāinga, he rautaki hoki ā ngā kaiako hei whakatairanga ake i te āheinga o ngā ākonga.
Ka whakapūmautia ngā tūmanako nui e pā ana ki te kaitiakitanga me ngā kawenga. Ka arahina, ka whakatauirahia hoki ngā tūmanako nei e ngā kuia me ngā pākeke o Ngāti Te Ata. Ko te tūnga o te kaitiaki e āta pupuri ana i te hītori, ngā tikanga tuku iho, ngā wāhi tapu, me te manaaki o te whenua o Ngāti Te Ata.

Kua tāutuhia ngā matea reo o ia ākonga, nā ngā mahi aromatawai o te wāhanga tuatahi. Kāhore ngā kaiako e whakamahi ana i Ngā Whanaketanga. Engari, e whakarite ana rāua ki te whakatīmata i ngā whakawhitinga kōrero ki te Tāhuhu o te Mātauranga, hei hāpai i a rāua. Ko ngā ākonga o te tau o mua e whakatauira ana i te reo, ā, e tautoko ana i ngā tēina.

Nā te whai wāhitanga a ngā ākonga ki te Kīngitanga me ōna huihuinga, ka whai wāhi anō hoki rātou ki ngā kaupapa o ngā hapū me te iwi. Ka whakawhanaunga rātou ki ētahi atu ākonga ki te hapori, i te wā ka ako ngātahi rātou i te noho haumaru ki te wai.

Kia waea te tamaiti ki tōna ake ao katahi
Kia eke eke panuku
Eke eke Tangaroa
A tōna wa ka puta a maia atu ki te ao whānui
The preservation and maintenance of te reo and tikanga o Ngāti Te Ata continues to underpin learning and teaching at Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Waiuku. Lakes, rivers and the ocean around and near the kura are rich resources that support this kura to continue with its unique kaupapa and curriculumAkona ma te wai.These waterways provide meaningful and purposeful experiences for students and their whānau to learn about, value and enjoy. They seek to maintain them for the future.
Students and their whānau learn about significant places, stories, traditions and ancestors linked to their land. Kaitiakitanga is an important aspect of student’s learning. They are also active participants and contribute to maintaining Tainui iwi and Kingitanga commitments.
The whānau selected areas ofAkona ma te waifor 2012 as a focus for the evaluation kaupapa for this review. Outcomes from consistent self review highlight students’ continuing needs for te reo Māori development. Literacy and numeracy, water safety and waka ama preparation for competition are areas the kura is working with this term. Paimārire, as part of the Kingitanga kaupapa is used daily.
The kura operates in accordance with the principles of Te Aho Matua. These principles are reflected in the commitment of the whānau, kaiako and iwi to provide quality learning opportunities for students. Te Aho Matua is embedded within the kura philosophies and reflected in all practices.
Students explore and develop language and use te reo o Ngāti Te Ata, Te Reo.
Students learn about Mana Whenua, ahi kaa o Ngāti Te Ata, Te Ao.
Students develop free, open and inquiring minds, Āhuatanga Ako.
Students develop an understanding that they are kaitiaki of their environment, Ngā Iwi.
Students display personal pride in their whānau, hapu and iwi, Ira Tangata.
ERO is confident that the board of trustees can manage the kura in the interests of the students and the Crown and bring about the improvements outlined in this report.
ERO will review the kura again as part of the regular review cycle.
The preservation and maintenance of te reo and tikanga o Ngāti Te Ata continues to underpin learning and teaching at Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Waiuku. The various waterways that surround the kura continue to be rich resources for further developing the unique kaupapa and curriculum-Akona ma te wai.The waterways provide meaningful and purposeful experiences for students and their whānau. They learn through a range of perspectives about the waterways and are taught the value of these resources which include, food sources, water safety, paddling skills and respecting the water. They enjoy these and seek to maintain them for the future.Akona ma te waialong with the principles of Te Aho Matua together provide content and quality education for students.
The Education Review Office will use the evaluation kaupapa as the focus for this review. The whānau and staff selected the evaluation kaupapa:
Akona ma te wai kia waea te tamaiti ki tōna ake ao
The findings of this evaluation will affirm that the whānau and Ngāti Te Ata continue to prepare students for a future of their choice by providing a curriculum that is student centred.
Akona ma te wai has far reaching potential not only for the students but for their community, Aotearoa and beyond. This is a lifelong kaupapa that will sustain the aspirations of Ngāti Te Ata for future generations to come.
Water craft, particularly waka ama, equipment for the safety and wellbeing of water craft users and the provision of facilities for all aquatic pursuits are future developments the kura is prepared to engage in. Students continue to build knowledge about the water, water skills including navigation and healthy eating as part of preparation for competition. Whānau are actively involved with these activities.
Whānau are concerned about roll numbers. They are seeking ways to increase the roll. The kura whānau communicates well with local kōhanga reo and whānau in the community.
The kura strategic plan also selects other areas for development as a result of consistent self review. These include transport and buildings.
The kura are not yet prepared for Ngā Whanaketanga. Kaiako are seeking to begin discussions with the Ministry of Education to support them in the interim as the Runanganui o Ngā Kura Kaupapa Māori o Aotearoa is seeking a way forward. The kaiako is currently using assessments from Te Marautanga o Aotearoa which have been gathered by other kura. Kaupapa based assessments are appropriate for the kura marau. Te reo Māori achievement information from term one showed many of the students had very limited capacity in te reo Māori. Kaiako have goals and strategies in place to raise student capability.
High expectations for the roles and responsibilities of kaitiakitanga are upheld. The kuia and pakeke from Ngāti Te Ata guide and model these expectations. The roles of kaitiaki ensure the preservation of history, tradition, sacred places and care of the land of Ngāti Te Ata. ThroughĀkona ma te waistudents learn about gathering kai both from the waterways and the land. Conservation of these areas is integral to sustain supply. Safety near water is a priority for students. Students are well supervised. The kaiako nurture and care for their students who are friendly and care for each other. Students have a strong sense of belonging. They are developing an understanding of their roles as kaitiaki of their environment.
Akona ma te waialong with the principles of Te Aho Matua provide content and quality education for students.
Student learning environments include the classroom, marae, the wide open spaces of the land, sea, rivers and significant places of Ngāti Te Ata. Curriculum planning is well documented. Planning processes follow a user friendly format. The overarching kaupapa ofAkona ma te waisuccessfully links and incorporates essential learning areas. Consistent review and evaluation of programmes of learning is documented weekly and at the end of term.
Students are actively engaged and receptive to learning. They respond to praise. Their routines are established. Students enjoy a free yet ordered learning space. They are accustomed to spontaneous waiata, laughter and enjoy the warmth of being together.
Identified learning needs of students are well catered for. Whole group, small group as well as individual student attention is demonstrated by the kaiako throughout the day. Deliberate acts of teaching are used during writing and reading. Time for individual conferencing to reinforce a skill is used often.
Students are challenged by being totally immersed in te reo Māori. Kaiako use body language, repetition and voice intonation to help students make sense of learning. Tuakana, particularly those who are competent in te reo Māori support their teina with their language needs. Students are settled in the classroom and are willing participants in their learning.
Students participate in a range of experiences in different learning environments.
Students are familiar with classroom routines.
Students are growing in confidence and ability to initiate own learning.
Te reo Māori capability of students and their whānau challenge kaiako to employ strategies that support and encourage them to learn the language. This has impacted on teaching and learning and kaiako now use a range of language acquisition approaches. Student’s individual language needs are identified through term one assessments. Kaiako do not use Ngā Whanaketanga. However, they are preparing to begin discussions with the Ministry of Education to support them. Students from the previous year provide good models and support for the younger students. Oranga wairua-spiritual wellbeing is a successful process the kaiako uses to settle, focus and support student learning through:
daily recitation of Pai Marire karakia which originates from the Kīngitanga
accelerated learning activities to further focus individuals at the beginning of each day
waiata and mōteatea
games and incidental conversations
immersion in te reo Māori.
Students hear te reo o Ngāti Te Ata in various relevant contexts including:
commands and instructions in and out of the classroom
the language of caution near, in, on and under the water
the language of food gathering, traditions, identity and care of the environment
the language of play.
The whānau has developed a warm nurturing environment for their students. Kaiako provide rich language learning experiences that are practical and purposeful. Language learning is supported well. Students are happy, settled and growing in confidence.
Students actions demonstrate the wairua of te reo Māori.
Students are exposed to rich language experiences.
Students are immersed in te reo Māori, hear it modelled and spoken.
Students are attentive listeners.
Students appreciate and know the skills, activities and varied experiences they have will help them to be better members of their whānau, hapū and iwi. Students already have good relationships with each other. They know where they come from and the responsibilities they have in regard to learning about the land, lakes, river and sea.
Student responsibilities to the Kingitanga and engagement in these formalities allows time for them to participate in hapū and iwi activity. Whanaungatanga is extended to other students in the community when they combine for water safety instruction. Students have an appreciation for the benefits of looking after their environment by protecting and caring for these areas. Matters of safety are integral to learning. Students are confident in demonstrating their identity as Ngāti te Ata.
Students are confident in the wider community.
Student interact naturally in their environment.
Students model positive relationships.
Students are immersed in an environment that reflects the Māori world. The varied and many experiences that encourage students to learn about their land and waterways provide enjoyment and an appreciation in caring for these elements. Some students have already been identified as future kaitiaki. Water sport such as waka ama is a medium that has taken students to many countries where they have successfully achieved world recognition. The kura continues to prepare students for this sport with safety, health and wellbeing as key areas for students to be knowledgeable in. Whānau are acknowledged for their support. Reciprocal activity, particularly in water safety is already established.
Students care for their water and land.
Students are kaitiaki for their environment
Students explore and enjoy their environment.
During the review, the board and principal of Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Waiuku completed theTe Aho Matua Whānau Assurance Statement and Self-Audit Checklist. In this document they attested they had taken all reasonable steps to meet the legislative requirements related to:
board administration
curriculum
management of health, safety and welfare
personnel management
financial management and
asset management.
ERO checked the following items because they have a potentially high impact on outcomes for children:
emotional safety (including behaviour management, prevention of bullying and abuse, complaints procedures)
physical safety (including policies and procedures relating to EOTC, hazard identification, prevention of physical harm, accidents and medication)
staff qualifications and organisation
stand-downs, suspensions, expulsions and exclusions
monitoring of student attendance.
ERO’s investigations did not identify any areas of concern.
In order to improve its performance the board should consider:
planned discussions with the Ministry of Education about supporting kaiako to become more familiar with Ngā Whanaketanga Rūmaki Reo.
ERO is confident that the board of trustees can manage the kura in the interests of the students and the Crown and bring about the improvements outlined in this report.
ERO will review the kura again as part of the regular review cycle.

E whai wāhi nui ana ngā tikanga a Ngāti Te Ata i roto i ngā whakamahere a te whānau.

Ko ngā whāinga me ngā tumanakohanga a Ngāti Te Ata me ngā whanonga pono o Te Aho Matua e whakamahine ana i te huarahi hei whai mā te kura. E tāpiritia atu ana e tēna, e tēna, mema o te whānau, o rātou anō mōhio me o rātou pūkenga, hei tautoko i tēnei huarahi e whāia nei. Whakamahia ai e te whānau ēnei kōrero hei whakamahere i ngā hōtaka akoranga e whakamātautau ana i ngā hinengaro o ngā mokopuna, e whai tikanga ana, ā, e whai hua ana.
He maha ngā rautaki e whakamahia ana hei whakaihiihi, ā, hei whakangākau nui i ngā ākonga ki te ako. Ko ngā mahi i āta whakamaheretia, e whakatuwhera ana i ngā huarahi ki ngā ākonga ki te whakamahi i o rātou ano mōhiotanga mō te whakatau i ngā mea e raruraru ana, ki te mōhio ki ngā mea e tūpono ana i roto i a rātou mahi akoranga, ā, ki te āta whakarite i ngā mea e hiahia ana rātou, i a rātou whakataunga rānei, i mua atu i tā rātou whakaritenga i a rātou whakataunga e pā ana ki ēnei. E akiakitia ana ngā ākonga ki te kawe i ngā kawenga a te tuakana, a te taina rānei, i te taha o ēra atu o rātou, i te taha rānei i o rātou whānau, kaumātua rānei. Āwhina ai hoki a tēna, a tēna, mema o te whānau i ngā ākonga mā te whakamahi i o rātou anō pūkenga motuhake me o rātou mōhiotanga, mō te whakarei ake i ngā wheako akoranga o ngā ākonga.
E titiro hāngai ana te whānau ki runga ki te whakatuwhera i ngā huarahi ki te angitu ki ai a rātou ākonga. E whakarewatia ake ana ēnei, i roto i ngā paetae kua taea e ngā ākonga i roto i ngā heipūtanga-a-rohe, ngā heipūtanga whaitua, ngā heipūtanga-a-motu, ā, me ngā heipūtanga no tawāhi, te haere tonu o ngā aro matawai o o rātou rōpu, ngā whakahaere takitahi rānei a tēna, a tēna, a tēna, o rātou, ā, me to rātou pono ki te whakareri mō ēnei mahi. Kei ngā kaiako ngā rēkota a tēna, a tēna, o ngā ākonga e

I te wā i whakahaeretia ai te arotake, i kitea e ERO me te whānau te whakapōreareatanga o a rātou whakahaere whakaako i roto i to rātou kura, mai i te kaha o ngā turituritanga e pupū mai ana i te whare taka porepore o te kura tuatahi e tu pātata mai ana ki to rātou kura kaupapa.Inā ka hūnukutia te kura ki tōna tūranga hou, ka whakakorea atu tēnei āwangawanga.
I te i whakahaeretia ai te arotake i whakatutukitia e te whānau me ngā kaiako o Te Kura Kaupapa Maori o Waiuku he Tauāki Kupu Tūturu a Te Poari me tētahi Rārangi Arowhai Tātari Whaiaro mā ERO. I roto i ēnei tuhituhinga i oati rātou i kaha rātou ki te whakatutuki i ngā hanganga ture e pā ana ki a rātou whakahaere, tāpiri atu ki ēra i tuhia ki roto i ngā pānui a Te Tāhuhu o Te Mātauranga me ēra atu tuhituhinga e pā ana ki ngā wāhanga e ono o Te Aho Matua.
I titiro a ERO ki ēnei take e whai ake nei, notemea, e whai wahi nui ana rātou i runga i ngā putanga e puta ana ki ngā ākonga.
Ko ngā mahi hei mahi mā te whānau a meake nei ko:
E whakapono ana a ERO ka taea e te whānau te whakahaere tō rātou kura i runga i tā rātou whai whakaaro nui ki a rātou ākonga me te Kāwanatanga, ā, ki te whakatutuki hoki i ngā whakapainga ake kua tāutuhia nei i roto i tēnei ripoata.
Ko te arotake anō a ERO i te kura a meake nei, ko tērā ka whai i tā rātou kaupapa arotake e whakahaeretia ana e rātou i ia toru tau.[Kua Hainatia]

Ngāti te Ata iwi and the whānau of Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Waiuku collectively strive to strengthen their future aims and aspirations as defined by the kaupapa Akona ma te wai. The kura is situated in an area where students have access to the estuary, the sea and river and these resources are important to the iwi. The whānau want their children to learn about the significance of these natural resources. The iwi histories, landmarks, tikanga and knowledge associated with these areas contribute to the learning content and programme direction. The whānau are committed to the quality of education provided for students.
The Education Review Office will use the evaluation kaupapa as the focus for this review. The whānau and staff selected the evaluation kaupapa,
Ākona ma te wai
The findings of this evaluation will affirm that the whānau and Ngāti te Ata iwi continue to retain the knowledge of their tupuna as they strive towards achieving their long term educational goals. The kaupapa planning defines the learning and practical experiences that support students to develop skills and knowledge. There is a strong focus on providing students with success physically, spiritually, emotionally and academically.
Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Waiuku operates in accordance with the principles of Te Aho Matua. These principles are reflected in the commitment of the whānau, kaiako and iwi to providing high quality learning opportunities for students. Te Aho Matua is embedded within the kura philosophies and reflected in all practices.
Student successes are celebrated as they continue to strive towards exemplifying the hopes and aspirations of their people.
Students effectively display passion and enthusiasm for learning within a nurturing environment based on traditional Māori values and beliefs.
Ngāti te Ata whakapapa, kawa and tikanga is the foundation that guides all whānau planning. It is their tikanga that is integrated throughout all aspects of the kura. These are set as expectations and define the practices used by whānau and students. This contributes to a collective focus on student well being within a nurturing environment.
Whānau passion and commitment to holistic development is highlighted by:
The whānau are an integral part of the learning programme. It is their involvement and participation that helps them to monitor students’ holistic development. Kaiako also monitor individual progress and regularly discuss and share their observations with each other and the whānau.
Students explore language and use te reo o Ngāti te Ata.
Ngāti te Ata reo is the dominant language and guides the content of te reo Māori planning. The whānau planning is based on the learning kaupapa and focuses on speaking te reo Māori, exposing students to a range of immersion situations and the language of other iwi. Kaiako planning emphasises identifying language specific to te wai and the needs of individual students. The whānau acknowledge the need to strengthen their te reo Māori and have planned programmes to support their long term goal. This programme is based on a health initiative whānau ora being developed in the local community.
Kaiako have been instrumental in developing strategies to support te reo Māori development in the kura. They use teaching techniques to develop and extend
students specific language learning needs. These include questioning, repetition, substitution and extending vocabulary lists to support students with language acquisition. Language learning opportunities also include working one to one with students as a part of the daily programme, working with kaumatua, and encouraging students to compose karakia and waiata.
Kaiako take a lead role in the monitoring of students language development. Student progress and learning needs are regularly monitored using a range of methods that include observations across a range of immersion settings, kaumatua involvement to assist with gathering information about students, formal assessment, programme evaluation and reporting to whānau.
Students effectively display personal pride in their whānau, hapū and iwi.
Knowledge of Ngāti te Ata whakapapa is a strength of the kura whānau. Ngāti te Ata histories, long term aims and aspirations and whakapapa to Kingitanga provide a strong foundation for the kura direction. Tikanga and iwi values add to the depth of knowledge and guide all aspects of whānau planning.
The relationship of the people to the land and the water is highlighted by the events students attend. There are annual local hapū and iwi events where students are regular participants. The tikanga of the iwi is an integral part of whānau and students learning as reflected in their practices of sharing the pataka kai of the local waters with the hapū, iwi and others. Organised water activities are a regular feature of the learning programme. They support and compete in local, regional and national waka ama events. The whānau actively participate and contribute to student learning.
The iwi of Ngāti te Ata are proud of students achievements. The iwi presented the kura with a toki to acknowledge the kura commitment to the kaupapa. Whānau participation and support enables them to celebrate student successes in forming positive relationships with other iwi and indigenous people. Observations and feedback from the hapū and iwi acknowledge the achievements of the students. Students are regarded as the future kaitiaki of hapū and iwi knowledge and traditions.
Students understand their place in the Māori world and the wider world.
The traditions of Ngāti te Ata are an important part in the whānau planning. The natural environment of the iwi is a valued resource and provides a basis for an integrated approach for long term planning. Iwi knowledge and tikanga is an integral part of learning. The whānau consider contemporary views of te ao and this is used to enhance learning experiences.
A ranges of strategies is used to support the learning experiences provided. Knowledge and skills of individual whānau are shared with students to give a greater meaning, appreciation and respect for the different waters in the rohe. Organised experiences on the moana, awa, roto and open seas provide opportunities to apply particular learning. Water safety practices are a priority that is emphasised in preparing for water activities. A focus of the learning provides students with a practical understanding of the tikanga associated with Tāwhirimātea, Tangaroa, Ranginui and Papatuānuku.. Learning activities include experiences with different waka design and function. Tikanga underpins all aspects of learning.
The whānau, hapū and iwi have been instrumental in contributing to the success that students experience in te ao Māori and te ao whānui. These experiences affirm and strengthen student identity, their uniqueness and the role they have in a range of settings.
Students are actively engaged in learning.
The aims and aspirations of Ngāti te Ata and the principles of Te Aho Matua define the kura direction. Individual whānau members through their involvement in Māori groups at the local, regional and national levels add to the knowledge and skill base within the whānau to support this direction. The whānau use this information to plan challenging programmes that are meaningful and purposeful.
A range of strategies is used to stimulate and motivate students. Planned activities provide opportunities for students to apply their learning to solve problems, to identify risks in the learning processes and to make informed choices and decisions about set tasks. Students are encouraged to work as tuakana, teina, with peers and alongside their whānau and kaumatua. Individual whānau share their specific skills and knowledge to enhance students learning experiences.
The whānau are focussed on providing students with opportunities for success. These are highlighted by student achievements in local, regional, national and international events, on-going assessment of their team or individual performance and the discipline in preparing for these activities. Kaiako have cumulative records that identify individual student’s progress. The information gathered supports kaiako with programme planning and the next steps to improve students learning outcomes.
During the course of the review ERO and the whānau identified that the position of the local primary schools gymnasium and associated noise created interruptions to the learning programme for students attending the kura kaupapa. Once the kura is relocated this will no longer be of concern.
During the review, the whānau and staff of Te Kura Kau completed the Te Aho Matua Whānau Assurance Statement and Self-Audit Checklist. In this document they have attested that they had taken all reasonable steps to meet their legislative requirements including those detailed in Ministry of Education Circulars and other documents related to the six wāhanga of Te Aho Matua.papa Māori o Waiuku
