- The quality of education provided to students is inadequate. Students are not supported or motivated to learn.
- School governance remains a concern as statutory intervention is in place. The commissioner is working with a community reference group to find solutions for many serious long-standing issues.
- The leadership team have limited knowledge and experience. Staff are not receiving adequate guidance, support, or advice.
- The quality of teaching and learning is inadequate. Although kaiako are highly committed, they urgently need strong professional leadership.
- Students with identified additional learning needs are not being provided with adequate support. Teaching approaches are ineffective.
