Latest ERO review
2024-04-08 · Darcy Te Hau, ERO
- Tauira learn in an environment that fosters Tapuikatanga, with strong connections to iwi identity and te reo Māori through daily practices
- Almost all tauira were progressing and achieving well in literacy and numeracy
- Kaiako analyse student achievement well and classrooms are attractive, stimulating and well resourced
- Professional growth cycles are in early stages of implementation for leaders and kaiako, aligned to teaching profession standards
- Provision of te reo Māori requires strengthening; classroom instruction continues to be predominantly in English despite expectations for fluency
"Tauira learn in an environment that fosters Tapuikatanga. They confidently participate in and lead karakia. Reciting pepeha daily affirms their identity as uri of Tapuika and allows them to practice and gain confidence in te reo Māori."
