Latest ERO review

2021-09-01 · Tanya Savage, ERO

ERO report
  • All Years 11-13 students pass NCEA te reo matatini with Merit or higher gradings; oral literacy is prioritised as the foundation for written literacy development
  • All students in the kura pass NCEA Levels 1, 2 and 3 in pāngarau with Merit or higher grades, demonstrating strong success rates
  • Kaiako integrate te ao Māori, mātauranga Māori and kaitiakitanga principles across te reo matatini and pāngarau programmes
  • Kura is moving towards an integrated, authentic curriculum approach with clear connections between learning concepts and student's world
  • Critical gap: lack of PLD specific to Te Aho Matua kura context; available PLD is predominantly Eurocentric and does not align with te ao Māori and mātauranga Māori frameworks
"Ko te whāinga matua o Te Aho Matua, kia tū pakari, kia tū rangatira ngā ākonga katoa hei raukura mō ō rātou iwi."
