Matawaia Marae, Matawaia
View on mapKua mahi ngātahi Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga, ngā whānau, ngā kaiārahi, ngā kaimahi me ngā hapori ki te whakawhanake i ngā tirohanga aromātai e whai wāhi nui ai ki te hāpai i te kawenga takohanga me te whakapaitanga, ki te tautuhi i te ahu whakamua, ā, ki te whakapakari ake hoki i te āheinga ki te aromātai. Ka hāngai tēnei pūrongo ki ā rātou pūnaha, ā rātou whakaritenga, me ā rātou whakahaeretanga. Ka whakarato ngā pūrongo a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i ngā mōhiohio mātuatua mā ngā hapū me ngā iwi.
‘Mā Te Kōhanga Reo o Matawaia, mō Te Kōhanga Reo o Matawaia, e ai ki Te Kōhanga Reo o Matawaia’
E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Matawaia ki te taha o te marae o Matawaia, ki te Tai Tokerau. He tino hononga ō te whānau ki te iwi o te takiwā nei, ki a Ngāti Hine. I tēnei wā, e whakatutuki haere ana te kaiako matua i Te Tohu Korowai Mokopuna, ā, e tautokona ana e Te Poari Matua o Ngā Kōhanga Reo me Te Kunenga ki Pūrehuroa.
I kitea ki te aromātai Mana Whakahaere a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i te Poutū-te-rangi o te tau 2024, kua whakaritea e te whānau te nuinga o ngā tukanga me ngā pūnaha, ā, e hāpai ana aua tūāhuatanga i te ako a ngā mokopuna, me tō rātou waiora. Ko te whakawhanaketanga whānui tonu o ngā mokopuna, ko te atawhai hoki i a rātou, e whakamōhio ana i te whakatau ngātahi a te whānau i ngā whakaritenga.
E whakaatu ana ngā mokopuna i tō rātou māramatanga mā tā rātou whai wāhi atu ki ngā tikanga me ngā uara e āta tohu ana i tō rātou tuakiritanga hei uri o tō rātou papakāinga.
E whai wāhi nui ana ngā mokopuna ki ngā akoranga e whakapūmau ana i ō rātou hononga ki te whānau, ki te hapū, me te iwi. Ko ngā wheako i te marae e whāngai ana i ngā akoranga e whakapūmau ana i ngā tikanga me ngā kawa o Ngāti Hine. Ka kitea ki ngā mokopuna tō rātou māramatanga ki te taha wairua me te taha ahurea, mā te āhua o tā rātou toro atu ki tō rātou whare tupuna. Ka whai wāhi atu ngā mokopuna ki ngā pōwhiri, nā konā rātou mātakitaki ai, rongo ai hoki i te karanga me te whaikōrero. Kei te tākare tā rātou whai wāhi atu ki te waiata tautoko, ki te harirū, me te hongi. E whakatauira ana ngā kuia, ngā whānau me ngā kaimahi i te reo ake o te takiwā, ā, ka whakamahi i te tangongitanga o ngā rautaki e whakatairanga ana i te hopu reo a ngā mokopuna. Ko ētahi o aua rautaki, ko ngā kīpeha, ko ngā whakatītina, me te reo akiaki, te waiata, me te whakatauira i te hanganga reo e tika ana. He māmā noa ki ngā mokopuna tuākana te whakahāngai i ngā kīanga kōrerorero ki ngā momo horopaki. Ka kitea te māramatanga o ngā pēpi mā te āhua o ō rātou kanohi me tō rātou reo ā-tinana. Ka ahu mai te katoa o ngā taunekeneke i ngā ariā o te tauwhirotanga, te ngākau aroha, me te manaaki-ki-te-tangata. Ka whakapuaki māhorahora ngā kaimahi me ngā mokopuna i ō rātou mōhiotanga, ā, he tūāhuatanga tēnei e whakatairanga ana i ngā hononga e whai pūtake ana. I ngā wā katoa, ka whakamihi, ka whakanui hoki ngā kaimahi i ngā whakamātau, ngā whakatutukitanga, me ngā whakaputanga whakaaro o ngā mokopuna. He ngākau titikaha ō ngā mokopuna ki te whai wāhi atu ki ngā wheako ako e poipoi ana i tō rātou tuakiri hei uri whakatupu o Matawaia.
E ākina ana te tūhura haere a ngā mokopuna i tō rātou taiao. Ka toro atu te taiao ako ki tua atu i te kōhanga reo ki te marae, ā, nā konā ngā mokopuna tūhura ai i ō rātou tikanga tuku iho, i ngā hītori anō hoki o ō rātou tūpuna. Ka kitea ki ngā mokopuna ō rātou hononga pū ki tō rātou tūrangawaewae. Ka whakarato ngā kaimahi i ngā wheako tūturu mō ngā mokopuna, ka tūhono i ngā tikanga e hāngai ana ki te taiao māoriori me te taiao tūturu. Ka kōkirihia, ka whakapūmautia, ka kitea e ngā mokopuna te ngākau nuitanga mā roto mai i ngā hononga whai pūtake ki tō rātou taiao Māori.
Kua whakaū te whānau whakahaere i ngā whakaritenga papai i kitea ai e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga ki te pūrongo aromātai i te Poutū-te-rangi o te tau 2024. I tēnei aromātai, i manatokotia e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga te whai huatanga o ngā mahi whakahaere e pā ana ki ngā take kaimahi. Ko ngā whakaritenga tuku mahi – tae atu hoki ki ngā arowhai e pā ana ki te haumaru o ngā kaimahi – e āta whakatutuki tōtikatia ana. Kua whakawhanakehia e te whānau tētahi pūnaha matawhānui e pā ana ki te arohaehae kaimahi. Ka whai wāhi ki taua pūnaha, ko te Aroā Takitahi, ko Tā Te Whānau Aroā, me Aroā Whakamua, e arotahi ana ki te whakatairanga tonutanga o ngā pūkenga me ngā pūmanawa o ngā kaimahi kia tū ai rātou hei tino kaiārahi mō meāke nei. E whakatutukihia ana ngā whakaritenga hōneatanga e pā ana ki ngā akoako ahi. Ko ngā mokopuna kei te pūtake o te mahi whakahaere ngātahi a te whānau.
Kāhore anō kia whakatutukihia, kia tuhia rānei ngā akoako e pā ana ki te rū whenua. Me āta whakarite te whānau i te whakatutukitanga o ngā tikanga katoa e pā ana ki ngā akoako ohotata, ā, me whakatakoto ā-tuhi hoki, hei āta whakatau i te noho haumaru o ngā mokopuna.
I te wā o te arotake, i tirohia e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga ngā pūnaha a te kōhanga reo ki te whakahaere i ngā wāhanga e whai pānga nui ai ki te waiora o ngā tamariki, arā, ki:
Ko te tikanga, ka whakatairanga ngā kōhanga reo katoa i te hauora me te haumaru o ngā tamariki, ā, ka arotake i ia te wā i tā rātou whakatutukitanga i ngā herenga ā-ture.
Hei whakatutuki i ngā herenga ā-ture, me tahuri te whānau ki te:
E taunaki ana Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga kia āta whakataungia te whakahaeretanga o ngā hōneatanga ohotata e pā ana ki te rū whenua i ia toru marama, pūputu ake noa rānei.

The Education Review Office (ERO) in collaboration with whānau, leaders, kaimahi and their communities develop evaluation insights that foster accountability and improvement, identify progress and build evaluation capability. This report reflects their systems, operations and management practices. ERO reports provide important information for hapū and iwi.
‘Mā Te Kōhanga Reo o Matawaia, mō Te Kōhanga Reo o Matawaia, e ai ki Te Kōhanga Reo o Matawaia’
Te Kōhanga Reo o Matawaia is next to Te Marae o Matawaia in Northland. Whānau have strong ties to the local iwi of Ngāti Hine. The Kaiako Matua is currently completing Te Tohu Korowai Mokopuna supported by Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust and Te Kunenga Pūrehuroa.
The ERO March 2024 evaluation of Mana Whakahaere practices found that whānau had established most processes and systems and that these supported positive outcomes for mokopuna learning and wellbeing. Mokopuna overall development and care informed whānau collective decision making.
Mokopuna demonstrate their understanding by engaging in cultural practices and values reflecting their identity as descendants of their papakāinga.
Mokopuna engage in learning that strengthens their connections to whānau, hapū and iwi. Experience at the marae provide learning that reinforces tikanga and kawa of Ngāti Hine. Mokopuna exhibit spiritual and cultural awareness through their engagement with their whare tīpuna. Mokopuna participate in the formalities of pōwhiri, where they observe and listen to karanga and whaikōrero. They eagerly take part in waiata tautoko, harirū and hongi. Kuia, whānau and kaimahi model fluency in the local dialect and use various strategies that enhances mokopuna language acquisition. These include kīpeha, whakatītina, te reo akiaki, waiata, and modelling correct language structure. Older mokopuna easily associate spoken phrases with specific contexts. Pēpi show their understanding through facial expressions and body language. All interactions are built on the concepts of tauwhirotānga, ngākau aroha and manaaki-ki-te-tangata. Kaimahi and mokopuna willingly share knowledge and this promotes meaningful relationships. Kaimahi consistently acknowledge and celebrate the efforts, achievements and contributions of mokopuna. Mokopuna confidently participate in learning experiences that nurture their identity as uri whakatipu o Matawaia.
Mokopuna are encouraged to explore their taiao. The learning environment extends beyond the kōhanga reo to the marae, where mokopuna explore their ancestral traditions and the histories of their tīpuna. They demonstrate meaningful connections to their tūrangawaewae. Kaimahi provide authentic experiences for mokopuna, linking tikanga associated with the natural and physical environment. Mokopuna initiate, sustain and derive enjoyment from meaningful connections with their taiao Māori.
Whānau whakahaere have maintained the good practice ERO acknowledged in the March 2024 evaluation report. During this evaluation ERO verified that personnel matters are effectively managed. Employment practices including safety checks for kaimahi are efficiently undertaken. Whānau have developed a comprehensive system for kaimahi appraisals. This includes Aroā Takitahi, Ta Te Whānau Aroā and Aroā Whakamua that focusses on continuously enhancing kaimahi skills and capability to become effective, future leaders. Evacuation practices for fire drills are undertaken. Mokopuna are at the centre of collective whānau whakahaere practices.
Earthquake drills have not been carried out or documented. Whānau must ensure all requirements for emergency drills are carried out and recorded to ensure safety of mokopuna.
During the review, ERO looked at the kōhanga reo systems for managing the following areas that have a potentially high impact on children's wellbeing:
All kōhanga reo are required to promote children's health and safety and to regularly review their compliance with legal requirements.
To meet compliance requirements, they must:
ERO recommend ensuring emergency earthquake evacuations are conducted on an at least three-monthly basis.

Ka whakahaeretia tētahi aromātai tāpiri i runga o te whakataunga ā te Toihau Arotake i Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga.
E aromātai ana Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i te whānuitanga me te whai hua o ngā mahi ā te kōhanga reo ki te whakatutuki i ngā take i whakatakotohia ai i roto i te pūrongo aromātai mātauranga o mua atu i tēnei, me ētahi atu wāhanga rānei i tāutuhia ai whai muri o taua aromātai.
Ko tēnei aromātai tāpiri i whakaritea i runga i te aromātai o te whakatutukitanga a te whānau i te whakahaeretanga o te kōhanga reo, ki ngā wāhanga i tāutuhia ai e te pūrongo a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga, i mua atu, me ngā take rānei kua tāutuhia whai muri o taua aromātai. Ko ngā whakataunga mō ngā whakapuakitanga e pā ana ki tēnei aromātai, ko te titiro ki:
E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Matawaia ki te taha o te marae o Matawaia, ki te Tai Tokerau. Ko Ngāti Hine te iwi. Whai muri i te pūrongo o mua a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i te tau 2017, kua mahi te whānau ki te taha o te Poari Matua o Ngā Kōhanga Reo ki te whakatutuki i ngā take i hāngai ai ki ngā mahi whakahaere a te whānau me te whakamaheretanga o te hōtaka.
Kua whakatinanahia e te whānau tētahi tukanga mō te arotake whaiaro. Tū ai ngā hui i ia te wā, he pai hoki te taetae atu a te katoa me ngā tuhinga. He nui ngā pūrongo e whakawhārikihia ana mā te whānau ki ngā hui ā-whānau. He mātātoa tā rātou whai wāhi atu ki ngā whakataunga. Ka whakapai haere te whānau i ngā whakahaeretanga hei painga mō ngā tamariki. Ka āta whakarite te whānau kia arotakengia te tūtohinga i ia te wā. E ahu mai ana ngā whakataunga i te nui o ngā mōhiohio, ā, e whai hua ana ngā tamariki i tēnei tūāhuatanga.
Kua whakatakotohia e ngā kaimahi ngā pūnaha e aroturuki ana i te ako me te ahu whakamua a ngā tamariki. Ka kapo atu rātou i ngā akoranga a ngā tamariki, ā, e whakatakotohia ana aua tūāhuatanga ki ngā pūkete a ia tamaiti. E tautoko tonuhia ana, e arahina tonuhia ana hoki e te Poari Matua o Ngā Kōhanga Reo me te purapura, ngā mahi a te whānau me ngā kaimahi ki te hāpai ake i te aromatawai i ngā tamariki.
Ko tētahi āhuatanga tonu hei whakawhanake ake, ko te aromātai hōtaka. He ōpaki kē te whakaaro huritao o ngā kaimahi mō te hōtaka akoranga. He pakeke ki te tātari pēhea nei te whai huatanga o te hōtaka e aroturukitia ana.
I tāutuhia e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga ngā wāhanga kāhore e tutuki ana e ai ki te ture. Kia tutukihia ai e te whānau o te kōhanga reo ā rātou herenga ā-ture, me tahuri rātou ki te:
Kua whakaritea ngā pūnaha ki te whakahaere i ngā kaimahi. He tika ngā mahi a te whānau ki te whakahaere i ngā take e pā ana ki ngā kaimahi. Ko ngā kirimana me ngā tuhinga tūranga mahi a ngā kaimahi, e hāngai katoa ana ki te wā. Kua whakatinanahia e te whānau te tukanga tuatahi ki te arohaehae i ngā kaimahi. E mahi tonu ana rātou ki te taha o te kaupapa kaimahi ā-rohe o te Poari Matua o Ngā Kōhanga Reo ki te whakaoti i te tukanga arohaehae. Kua tukuna atu e rātou ngā tuhinga kia arowhaingia ngā kaimahi katoa e ngā pirihimana. Ka kitea ki te whānau te tika o ā rātou mahi hei kaituku mahi.
I whakawhanakehia e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga me te whānau o te kōhanga reo te taunakitanga e whai ake nei, arā, kia:
Ka whakahaere anō Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i te aromātai whai muri o Te Kōhanga Reo o Matawaia i roto i te toru o ngā tau.

A supplementary evaluation is undertaken at the discretion of the Chief Review Officer of the Education Review Office (ERO).
ERO evaluates the extent and effectiveness of actions a kōhanga reo has taken towards addressing issues specified in its previous ERO evaluation and/or any additional areas identified since that evaluation.
This supplementary evaluation is based on an evaluation of the performance of the kōhanga reo governing body and management in relation to areas identified in the previous ERO report or issues identified since that evaluation. The terms of reference for this evaluation area to investigate:
Te Kōhanga Reo o Matawaia is situated next to Te Marae o Matawaia in Northland. The local iwi is Ngāti Hine. Since the previous ERO report, 2017, whānau has been working with Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust (TKRNT) to address the issues related to whānau management practices and programme planning.
Whānau have implemented a process for self-review. Hui are held regularly, well attended and recorded. Whānau receive significant reporting at whānau hui. They are active in decision making. Whānau make improvements to operations to benefit children. Whānau ensure there is ongoing review of the tūtohinga. Children benefit from informed decision making.
Kaimahi have in place systems to monitor children’s learning and progress. They capture children’s learning which is recorded in individual profiles for children. Whanau and Kaimahi continue to receive support and guidance to improve assessment for children from the TKRNT and the local purapura cluster.
Programme evaluation remains an area for development. Kaimahi reflections about the learning program occur informally. It is difficult to gauge how the programme is monitored for its effectiveness.
Personnel management systems are in place. Whānau manage personnel matters appropriately. Kaimahi employment contracts and job descriptions are current. Whānau have implemented the first process for kaimahi appraisals. They continue to work with the District Te Kohanga Reo Kaimahi to complete the process all appraisals. Police vetting of all kaimahi has been processed. Whānau show they are fair employers.
ERO and the kōhanga reo whānau developed the following recommendation:
The next ERO evaluation of Te Kōhanga Reo o Matawaia will be in three years.

Ka whakahaeretia tētahi aromātai tāpiri i runga o te whakataunga ā te Kaitiriwā Toihau Arotake Māori i Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga.
E aromātai ana Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i te whānuitanga me te whai hua o ngā mahi ā te kōhanga reo ki te whakatutuki i ngā take i whakatakotohia ai i roto i te pūrongo aromātai mātauranga o mua atu i tēnei, me ētahi atu wāhanga rānei i tāutuhia ai whai muri o taua aromātai.
Ko tēnei aromātai tāpiri i whakaritea i runga i te aromātai o te whakatutukitanga a te whānau i te whakahaeretanga o te kōhanga reo, ki ngā wāhanga i tāutuhia ai e te pūrongo a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga, i mua atu, me ngā take rānei kua tāutuhia whai muri o taua aromātai. Ko ngā whakataunga mō ngā whakapuakitanga e pā ana ki tēnei aromātai, ko te titiro ki:
E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Matawaia ki te taha o te marae o Matawaia, i te Tai Tokerau. Ko Ngāti Hine te iwi.
Whai muri i te pūrongo o mua a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i te tau 2015, kua whai wāhi mai ētahi whānau hou, ā, e ako ana rātou i te kaupapa o te kōhanga reo. Kua tāutuhia e rātou ngā kaupapa matua e pā ana ki ngā akoranga, tae atu ki te reo Māori me te waiora ā-whatumanawa, ā-tinana hoki o ngā tamariki. Kua pai ake ngā whakaritenga a ngā kaimahi i roto i te whakamaheretanga me te whakapuakitanga o te hōtaka, me te whakaratonga o ngā rauemi ako.
E tautoko tonu ana te Poari Matua o Ngā Kōhanga Reo i te whānau i roto i ngā tino wāhanga whakahaere o te kōhanga reo.
Ko te reo Māori o ngā tamariki tētahi kaupapa matua ki te whānau. Ka whakamahere ngā kaimahi me te whānau i ngā hōtaka akoranga ka whakapiki ake i te reo Māori. Ka tāutu ngā kaimahi i ngā kupu hou i roto i ā rātou mahere, hei whakatutuki i ngā āheinga reo Māori o ngā tamariki. Ka whakatairanga rātou i ngā karakia, ngā hīmene, ngā waiata me ngā pepeha, hei akiaki i ngā tamariki ki te whakamahi i te reo. Ka hāpai ngā kaimahi i te ako a ngā tamariki - a tētahi ki tētahi - ā, ka whakamahi hoki rātou i ngā nekehanga ka whakapuaki i te ia o ngā kupu kōrero. Ka whai wāhi atu ngā tamariki ki ngā kaupapa i te marae, ā, i konei rātou rongo ai i te reo Māori i ngā horopaki ōkawa. E pakari haere ana te ngākau titikaha o ngā tamariki i roto i ngā horopaki o te reo Māori.
I nāianei, e āta aroturukitia ana e te whānau te waiora ā-whatumanawa, ā-tinana hoki o ngā tamariki. He māramatanga ngātahi tō ngā kaimahi me te whānau ki te waiora me te atawhai o ngā tamariki, kia pai ake ai ā rātou whakaritenga. Kua whakatakotohia ngā rautaki e whakatairanga ana i te whanonga papai i roto i te hōtaka o ia rā. Ko te haumaru o ngā tamariki e noho matua ana.
E poipoia ana ngā matea ake o ia tamaiti. Ka whai ngā kaimahi i tētahi tukanga whakamahere e ārahi ana i ngā whakaritenga. E hāngai ana te angamahi whakamahere ki Te Whāriki me ngā whāinga ako o ngā tamariki. E whakatairangatia ana ngā taumahi ako ki ngā waiata, ngā kēmu, ngā kīanga, me ngā mahi toi. Ka whakarato ngā kaimahi i te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo rauemi mō ngā tamariki. Ka kitea te ngākau nui o ngā tamariki ki te ako.
Kāhore ngā kaimahi e tāutu ana i te ahu whakamua o ngā tamariki, kāhore hoki e pūrongo ana ki ngā mātua i ia te wā, ā, kāhore hoki ngā mahi ki te aromātai i te hōtaka akoranga e riterite ana. Ahakoa kua whakarerekē haere ngā kaimahi i ā rātou whakaritenga e pā ana ki te aromatawai me te aroturuki, kāhore anō rātou kia āta whakamahi i ngā mōhiohio i whakaemihia ai e rātou.
Kāhore te arotake whaiaro e whai hua ana. Kāhore te whānau e whakatutuki haere ana i te arotake whaiaro, puta noa i ngā wāhanga katoa o te kōhanga reo. Kāhore ngā meneti o ngā hui e whakaōkawatia ana, hei whakatinana ake i ngā whakataunga. Kāhore anō kia whakatinanahia ngā kaupapa here me ngā tukanga e pā ana ki ngā kaimahi. Kāhore anō kia oti ngā tuhinga tūranga mahi e hāngai ana ki ngā kirimana me ngā mahi arowhai a ngā pirihimana. Nā tēnei, ko ngā pūrongo a ngā kaimahi e pā ana ki ngā putanga mō ngā tamariki, kāhore e whakamahia ana hei whakapai ake i te kounga o ngā akoranga.
I te wā o te aromātai, i whakamātauhia e te Tari Arotake Mātauranga ngā pūnaha o te kōhanga reo ki te whakahaere i ngā āhuatanga i raro iho nei e whai pānga nui ana ki te waiora o ngā tamariki:
Ko te tikanga, ka whakatairanga ngā kōhanga reo katoa i te hauora me te haumaru o ngā tamariki, me te arotake anō hoki i ia te wā i tā rātou whakatutukitanga i ngā herenga ā-ture.
I tāutuhia e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga ngā wāhanga kāhore e tutukihia ana e ai ki te ture. Kia tutukihia e te whānau o te kōhanga reo āna herenga ā-ture, me tahuri rātou ki te:
I whakawhanakehia e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga me te whānau o te kōhanga reo ngā taunakitanga e whai ake nei, arā, kia:
Ka aromātai anō Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i Te Kōhanga Reo o Matawaia i roto ngā tau e rua.

A supplementary evaluation is undertaken at the discretion of the Deputy Chief Review Officer Māori in the Education Review Office (ERO).
ERO evaluates the extent and effectiveness of actions a kōhanga reo has taken towards addressing issues specified in its previous ERO evaluation and/or any additional areas identified since that evaluation.
This supplementary evaluation is based on an evaluation of the performance of the kōhanga reo governing body and management in relation to areas identified in the previous ERO report or issues identified since that evaluation. The terms of reference for this evaluation area to investigate:
Te Kōhanga Reo o Matawaia is next to Matawaia Marae in Northland. The local iwi is Ngāti Hine.
Since the previous ERO report 2015 there are new whānau who are learning about the kaupapa of kōhanga reo. They have identified priorities for learning including te reo Māori and children’s emotional and physical wellbeing. Kaimahi practices related to programme planning, delivery and the provision of learning resources has improved.
Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust (TKRNT) continues to support whānau in critical areas of kōhanga reo management.
Children’s te reo Māori is a priority for the whānau. Kaimahi and whānau plan learning programmes to increase te reo Māori. Kaimahi identify new vocabulary in their planning to meet children’s te reo Māori capabilities. They promote karakia, hīmene, waiata and pepeha to encourage children’s use of the language. Kaimahi support children to learn from each other and to use actions to express the meaning of words. Children participate in marae activities where they hear te reo Māori in a formal context. Children are becoming increasingly confident in te reo Māori settings.
Children’s emotional and physical wellbeing is now carefully monitored by the whānau. Kaimahi and whānau have a shared understanding of children’s wellbeing and care in order to improve their practices. Strategies to promote positive behaviour in the daily programme are in place. Children’s safety is paramount.
Children’s individual needs are catered for. Kaimahi follow a planning process to guide practices. The planning framework is based on Te Whāriki and children’s learning goals. Learning activities are enhanced by waiata, games, kīanga and mahi toi. Kaimahi provide a range of resources for children. Children appear to enjoy learning.
Kaimahi do not identify children’s progress, regularly report to parents, or evaluate the learning programme is inconsistent. While kaimahi have made changes to their assessment and monitoring practices they are yet to make good use of the information that they gather.
Self-review is ineffective. Whānau do not carry out self-review across all areas of the kōhanga reo. Meetings minutes are not formalised to inform decision making. Personnel policies and procedures have not been implemented. Kaimahi employment documentation related to contracts and police vetting are incomplete. Consequently kaimahi reports about outcomes for children are not used to improve the quality of learning.
During the review, ERO looked at the kōhanga reo systems for managing the following areas that have a potentially high impact on children's wellbeing:
All kōhanga reo are required to promote children's health and safety and to regularly review their compliance with legal requirements.
ERO identified areas of non-compliance. In order for the kōhanga reo whānau to meet compliance requirements they need to:
ERO and the Kōhanga Reo whānau developed the following recommendations:
The next ERO evaluation of Te Kōhanga Reo o Matawaia will be within two years.
