Trajectory across review cycles

Year-over-year change per dimension based on consecutive ERO reviews.

equity 65 → 80 (+15)

Oranga School demonstrated substantial progress on equity between 2018 and 2023. The 2018 report noted achievement disparities for Pacific boys and identified needs for accelerated progress on at-risk learners, while the 2023 report highlights 'strong inclusive practices including a specific focus on raising achievement for Māori and Pacific ākonga' and describes culturally responsive practices that are 'positively changing the culture of the school.'

2018-05 → 2023-07 diff source

wellbeing 80 → 80 (0)

Wellbeing became significantly more prominent and explicit in the school's priorities between 2018 and 2023. The 2018 report focused on inclusion and student confidence without explicitly naming wellbeing, while the 2023 report explicitly states that 'learner wellbeing that is consistently prioritised and fostered' is a core strength, indicating a deliberate shift toward prioritizing this dimension.
