Latest ERO review
2025-05-08 · Tiwana Hibbs, Te Uepū ā-Motu – Māori Review Services
- Tamariki are immersed in a kura with pride in its rich history and kaupapa, and confidently engage in cultural leadership across karakia, himene, whaikōrero and mōteatea
- Kaiako are experienced and collaborative, using effective strategies including scaffolding, tuākana teina, and well-established routines to engage tamariki in learning
- The Board and whānau maintain strong legacy connections dating to 1928, share aspirations openly, and contribute actively to realising strategic goals
- Entering immersion education later, isolation, and at times limited resourcing contribute to variable tamariki progress; at end of 2023, less than half of tamariki were achieving at kura expectations in kōrero, pānui and pangarau
- Internal review practices require strengthening; discussions to evaluate quality of systems and processes are mostly informal and lack deliberate action planning
"Tamariki are immersed in a kura where there is pride in its rich history and kaupapa. The marau ā-kura is underpinned by values that connect tamariki to te reo and tikanga of Ngāti Kahu ki Whangaroa and the Catholic faith."
