E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Whirinaki ki te tonga o Hokianga. E whakatairanga ana te whānau – mā te ārahitanga hoki o ngā kuia me ngā kaumātua – te toitūtanga o te reo Māori me te ahurea Māori mō ngā whakatupuranga kei te heke mai. Ka ārahi, ka tautoko hoki te kaiako matua i te kōhanga reo, ā, e ai ki te whānau, he kāinga rua te kōhanga reo.
He pēhea rawa te whakaatu mai a ngā mokopuna i tō rātou māramatanga ki te kaitiakitanga?
Ka whakatinanahia e ngā mokopuna te kaitiakitanga i ō rātou hononga ki te taiao o Whirinaki.
E ako ana ngā mokopuna i ngā tūāhuatanga whakapū o te atawhai me te whakaaro nui ki tō rātou taiao. E ākina ana tā rātou tūhura haere i te ao e noho nei rātou. Ka whakatauira te whānau i te tū o te kaitiaki, i a rātou e atawhai ana, e manaaki ana hoki i tō rātou whenua. Kua āta whai hanganga te hōtaka akoranga, ā, e whakatakoto ana i te tangongitanga o ngā whai wāhitanga mō ngā mokopuna ki te ako i Te Taiao o Whirinaki me te kaitiakitanga. Ka whai wāhi ki aua akoranga, ko te ako i ngā taiao me ngā pūmanawa o ngā atua Māori, mā ngā karakia, ngā hīmene, ngā waiata tawhito, ngā hīkoi me ngā mahi toi. Ka mauritau ngā mokopuna nā te Hohou te rongo, kia whai wāhi nui ai rātou ki ngā akoranga. E whakapūmau ana Ngā ture o Te Kōhanga Reo i ngā tikanga, hei hāpai i te whakawhiti haere a ngā mokopuna i te whāriki. Ka ngākau nui ngā mokopuna ki ngā kēmu, ki te kori tinana, ki ngā waiata pāhekoheko, me te whakamātau i ngā tūmomo nekehanga. Ka kitea tō rātou tū takitahi me tō rātou aroā ā-tangata i tō rātou taiao ako. Ka kitea te whakaute, te whai kawenga hoki o ngā mokopuna mō ā rātou taonga māoriori me ngā rauemi.
E tino rumakina ana ngā mokopuna ki ngā akoranga e poipoi ana i tō rātou ahurea, i ngā tikanga, me ngā kawa. Ka akiaki, ka hāpai ngā kaimahi i te ako a ngā mokopuna i tō rātou tuakiri me ō rātou hononga ki ngā iwi me ngā hapū. Ka kite, ā, ka whai wāhi hoki ngā mokopuna ki ngā kawa me ngā tikanga o Ngāpuhi i ngā pōwhiri. Ka whai wāhi mātātoa ngā mokopuna ki ngā waiata tautoko, ā, ka manaakitia hoki ngā manuhiri. Ka whakatairanga ngā kaimahi i ngā uara o ngā whānau, ngā iwi, me ngā hapū, ā, he tūturu, he māoriori hoki ngā taumahi ako e whai pūtake ana. Ka kitea te ngākau titikaha o ngā mokopuna ki ā rātou whakatutukitanga, ā, ka whakapuaki māhorahora i ō rātou whakaaro, i tō rātou harikoa, me tō rātou manahau, i a rātou e ako ana, e tākaro ana. Ko te kaha o te whakamihi me te papai o ngā rautaki, e whakatairanga ana i te ngākau titikaha me te ārahitanga o ngā mokopuna. Ka kitea ki ngā mokopuna te whakawhanaketanga o ngā uara ā-iwi, i a rātou e whai wāhi atu ana ki ngā akoranga ki te taha o ētahi atu.
Ka rongo ngā mokopuna i te mita o Ngāpuhi. He mātau ngā kaimahi ki te kōrero i te reo Māori, ā, ka kaha whakatauira i te mita o Ngāpuhi i ia te wā. E hāpaitia ana te hopu reo o ngā mokopuna mā te tangongitanga o ngā rautaki e whai hua ana, pērā i te whāngai kupu, te tāruarua, me te whakatauira. Ka āta whakapuaki ngā mokopuna tuākana i tō rātou māramatanga, ā, ka whakautu tika hoki i ngā pātai, i ngā pēpi e tāwhai ana i ō rātou kaiako me ō rātou tuākana. Ka ārahi ngā tuākana i ngā mihimihi, ka tūmāia hoki ki te taki i ō rātou pepeha. E whanake ana ngā mokopuna ki te kōrero me te ako i te reo Māori.
Kua whakatakotohia ngā tukanga e pā ana ki te whakamahere, te aromatawai, me te aromātai hōtaka. Ko Te Whāriki a Te Kōhanga Reo te tūāpapa o ngā mahere katoa. E hono pū ana ngā taumahi katoa ki ngā kaupapa ako. Ka arotahi ngā aromatawai mokopuna ki ngā whakapapa, ā, ka tautuhi i te ako a ngā mokopuna i roto i te roanga o te wā. Ka kapohia, ka whakapuakihia hoki ki te whānau i roto i ngā pūkete a ngā mokopuna. Whakaaro huritao ai ngā kaimahi i roto i ā rātou hui o ia wiki, ki ngā whakapaitanga ki te hōtaka akoranga. E noho ngākau nui ana rātou ki te āta whakatau i te aronga nui ki te ako a ngā mokopuna. Ka ngākau nui ngā mokopuna ki ngā akoranga e āta whakahaerehia ana.
Ka whai wāhi mātātoa te whānau ki ngā whakataunga, ā, kua tohaina ngā kawenga mahi matua o ngā mahi whakahaere ki ngā mema o te whānau. E ako ana ngā mema o te komiti ki te āhua tonu o te tautoko e whai hua ana ki te whānau me ngā kaimahi, hei āhuatanga tonu o ō rātou tūranga mahi. Whakaatuhia ai ngā pūrongo auau o ngā wāhanga whakahaere ki ngā hui o ia marama, tae atu ki te aroturukitanga o ngā kaimahi, ngā pūtea, ngā mahere rautaki me ngā mahere ā-tau. Ko te pakari o te whakawhitiwhiti kōrero me te māramatanga tonu o ngā whakaritenga, e āta hāpai ana i te tūnga pai o te whānau ki te whakawhanake tonu me te tupu tonu hei te pae tawhiti. Ka whai hua ngā mokopuna nā te pakari o ngā whakaritenga e pā ana ki ngā mahi whakahaere a te whānau.
Tērā ētahi wāhanga o te whakahaeretanga o te hauora me te haumaru, e taea ana te whakapakari. E mōhio ana te whānau, e tika ana kia arotakengia tā rātou tūtohinga, ā, i tēnei wā e whakariterite ana rātou, e whakatutuki ana hoki rātou i taua arotakenga.
Me titiro ki te arotakenga me te whakatinanatanga o te Children's Act 2014. Ka whai pānga ki tēnā, ko te arotakenga o te reo me ngā tohutoro i roto i ngā kaupapa here katoa o tēnei wā, inarā, i te Children's Act 2014. He mea nui kia whakapakari tonuhia te māramatanga ki te whai pānga o te Children's Act 2014 ki ngā whakaritenga a ngā kaimahi me te whānau. Ka whai hua ngā mokopuna i te wā e hāngai pū ana te titiro ki te hauora me te haumaru.
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.

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. ERO’s reports provide important information for whānau, hapū and iwi.

Te Kōhanga Reo o Whirinaki is in South Hokianga. Whānau, guided by kuia and kaumātua, promote sustainability of Māori language and culture for future generations. The kaiako matua provides guidance and support for the kōhanga reo and whānau refer to the kōhanga reo as a kaingarua.
How well do mokopuna demonstrate their understanding of kaitiakitanga?
Mokopuna demonstrate kaitiakitanga in their connections with Te Taiao o Whirinaki.
Mokopuna are learning the fundamentals of care and consideration for their environment. They are encouraged to explore the world around them. Whānau model kaitiaki roles as they tend to and care for their whenua. A well-structured learning programme provides a range of opportunities for mokopuna to learn about Te Taiao o Whirinaki and associated kaitiaki. This includes learning about the domains and attributes of atua Māori through karakia, hīmene, waiata tawhito, hikoi and mahi toi. Hohou te rongo settles mokopuna so they can engage in learning. Ngā ture o te kōhanga reinforces tikanga as mokopuna transition across the whāriki. Mokopuna enjoy kēmu, kori tinana, interactive waiata and experimenting with different movements. They demonstrate independence and physical awareness in their learning environment. Mokopuna show respect and responsibility for their natural and physical resources.
Mokopuna are well immersed in learning that fosters their culture, tikanga and kawa. Kaimahi encourage and support mokopuna to learn about their identity and connections to iwi and hapū. Mokopuna observe and participate in Ngāpuhi kawa and tikanga during pōwhiri. Mokopuna are active participants in waiata tautoko and show manaakitanga to manuhiri. Kaimahi promote whānau, iwi and hapū values and learning activities are genuine, natural and meaningful. Mokopuna show pride in their achievements and willingly express their thoughts, ideas, joy and enthusiasm, as they learn and play. Regular praise and positive strategies promote mokopuna confidence and leadership. Mokopuna show they are developing iwi values as they engage in learning with others.
Mokopuna are exposed to te mita o Ngāpuhi. Kaimahi are competent speakers of te reo Māori and regularly model te mita o Ngāpuhi. Mokopuna language acquisition is supported through a range of effective strategies such as prompts, repetition and modelling. Older mokopuna clearly articulate their understanding and respond to well questions, while pēpi mimic their kaiako and tuākana. Tuākana lead mihimihi and recite their pepeha with a level of confidence. Mokopuna are developing as speakers and learners of te reo Māori.
Processes for planning, assessment and programme evaluation are in place. Te Whāriki a Te Kōhanga Reo is the foundation of all planning. All activities in the plan are linked directly to kaupapa ako. Mokopuna assessments are focused on whakapapa and identifies mokopuna learning overtime. These are captured and shared with whānau in mokopuna portfolios. Kaimahi regularly reflect on improvements to the learning programme in their weekly hui. They are dedicated to ensuring mokopuna learning is prioritised. Mokopuna enjoy learning that is well managed.
Whānau are actively engaged in decision making and key whānau whakahaere responsibilities have been delegated to whānau members. Komiti members are learning how to support whānau and kaimah as part of their roles. Regular reporting across areas of operations is presented at monthly hui including the monitoring of personnel, financials, strategic and annual plans. Strong communication and transparency ensure whānau are positioned well for future development and growth. Mokopuna benefit from sound whānau whakahaere practices.
There are aspects of health and safety management that can be strengthened. Whānau have acknowledged that their tūtohinga needs to be reviewed, they are currently planning for and completing this review.
The review and implementation of the Children’s Act 2014 requires attention. This includes the review of current language and references in all policies and specifically the Children’s Act 2014. It is also important to build further understanding of the implications of the Children’s Act 2014 for kaimahi and whānau practice. Mokopuna benefit when health and safety is prioritised.
During the evaluation, 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.
During the evaluation, it was identified that the whānau must:

Te Kohanga Reo o Whirinaki is located in Whirinaki near the Hokianga harbour in Northland. The kōhanga reo is based on the same site as Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Te Tonga o Hokianga. Kuia and kaumātua provide tikanga and guidance for the kōhanga reo. The purapura provides professional learning and development for kaimahi, support and whakawhanaungatanga.
Children’s interactions with others are meaningful and caring.
Children have caring relationships with others. Kaimahi interactions with children are loving. In return, children show manaaki and aroha for others. Tuākana tēina relationships are nurtured. The older children are considerate in their interactions with their tēina. Kaiako are softly spoken in their communication with children. Children are calm in their responses to kaimahi and their peers. Kaimahi are attentive to the physical and emotional needs of babies in the kōhanga reo and respond appropriately to those. Kaimahi interactions with babies affirm and encourage them to feel they are protected and safe. Children appear secure.
Children participate in learning where their identity is nurtured. Kaimahi ensure children participate in pōwhiri and whakatau. Older girls are encouraged to perform the karanga to visitors into their kōhanga reo. Children sing mōteatea and waiata tautoko following whaikōrero. They are open and friendly with visitors. Children observe kaimahi as they carry out their duties as tangata whenua on the marae. Kaimahi support children to understand how they connect through whakapapa to each other. They share their pepeha willingly with others. Children are developing an understanding of who they are and where they are from.
Children are supported to learn te reo Māori. Kaimahi draw on language strategies such as modelling and repetition to grow children’s knowledge and use of te reo Māori. Children engage in formal learning where they come to understand different language structures. These include karakia, mihimihi, himene, mōteatea and reciting their pepeha. Children understand instructions and respond appropriately. They can make connections between the spoken word and pictures. Babies happily communicate their understanding of te reo Māori through their facial expressions and body language. Children are developing as Māori language speakers.
Children explore their natural and physical environments. The outdoor area is spacious with appropriate resources and areas to move and explore. Children are encouraged by kaimahi to grow seedlings and transplant those into the garden. A well-maintained vegetable and herb garden enable children to freely wander – touching, smelling and tasting the kai. Children regularly explore the moana, forest and local landmarks. Children are learning about their roles as kaitiaki. The indoor area attractively displays children’s art. Resources are well organised and readily available. Children are enthusiastic learners.
Kaimahi have processes in place for programme planning. Planning content focuses on local knowledge of Hokianga, Ngātokimatawhaorua, Matawhaorua and Mamari. Kaimahi plan for specific age groups of children as well as whole group learning. Planning is reflected in the implementation of the learning programme.
The whānau manage the business of the kōhanga reo well. They work well together and support each other in their roles. The newly-appointed chairperson is a graduate of the kōhanga reo who promotes the kaupapa of kōhanga reo. Several whānau members are graduates of this kōhanga reo. They are active participants in the everyday life of the kōhanga reo. The charter has been reviewed and updated. The strategic plan includes long-term priorities and provides clear directions for the whānau. The annual plan supports smooth operations across the kōhanga reo. Personnel files are all up-to-date and well documented. Drills and registers are all well monitored and tracked. The whānau are focused on ongoing improvement in the kōhanga reo.
Assessment of children’s learning requires strengthening. The whānau and kaimahi are seeking ways to consolidate assessment practice to track and reflect children’s learning and progress over time.
Programme evaluation needs to be reviewed. While kaimahi meet regularly to discuss the learning programme, it is difficult to monitor what changes and improvements have been made to the learning programme. It is time for the whānau and kaimahi to consider processes that better support them to evaluate the effectiveness of the learning programme.
During the evaluation, 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 and the Kōhanga Reo whānau developed the following recommendations:
Strengthen assessment practices
Review and establish a process for programme evaluation.
The next ERO evaluation of Te Kōhanga Reo o Whirinaki will be in three years.

Ka taki karakia rātou, ka taki pepehā, ka waiata hīmene me ētehi atu waiata. Kei te whakamahi ngā kaimahi i ngā rautaki e hāngai ana ki te tautoko i te whakapakaritanga o te reo o ngā tamariki. He māia tā ngā tamariki kōrero i te reo Māori i te kōhanga reo.
He tino tautoko, he whai mana hoki te hononga o ngā tamariki ki tangata kē atu. Ko te whanaungatanga te tūāpapa o ēnei hononga. Ka tautoko ngā tamariki pakeke i ngā tamariki nohinohi. Kei te mārama te nuinga o ngā tamariki ki ngā kawenga mō te pōwhiri manuwhiri. Ka ako ngā tamariki mā roto mai i ngā hononga me ngā whakawhitinga motuhenga, manaaki hoki.

He tino pai te whakarite mai me te whakahaeretanga o te hōtaka ako. He nui ngā āhuatanga ka hau mai i te taiao hei whakapakari i ngā pūkenga me te mōhiotanga o ngā tamariki.

Ka whai wāhi atu ngā kaimahi ki ngā whakangungutanga whai take. Ka whai oranga ngā tamariki i ngā kaimahi e kaha tonu ana ki te whakaniko i a rātou tikanga mahi hei whakaea i o rātou hiahia ako.
Ka whai tūara te whānau i ngā arotakenga whaiaro hei tohu i ngā mea me whakaniko i te kōhanga reo.

Ahakoa e mārama ana ki te whānau ngā tino kaupapa a te kōhanga reo hei whakawhanaketanga i roto i te wā roa, kāore anō kia pukapukatia ēnei whakaaro e para ana i te huarahi kia tutuki ai ēnei whāinga me ēnei āwhero.

Te Kōhanga Reo o Whirinaki is in Whirinaki near the Hokianga Harbour in Northland. There are three marae and a kura kaupapa Māori in the community. The hapū is Te Hikutū and the iwi is Ngāpuhi.
The kōhanga reo is well supported by kaumātua, whānau, children and kaimahi of the local kura kaupapa Māori. The kaiako has been in the kōhanga reo for many years and brings consistency and stability to the kōhanga reo.
Children are confident learners who interact well with others.
Children enjoy an environment where their play is valued as meaningful learning. They actively explore their physical environments. Children gain confidence to think, reason and problem solve through formal and informal learning situations. Children are competent learners.
Children are learning to communicate in te reo Māori. They make connections between phrases in te reo Māori and situations. They recite karakia and pepehā, sing hīmene and waiata. Kaimahi use appropriate strategies to support children’s language development. Children confidently use te reo Māori in kōhanga reo.
Children have supportive and meaningful relationships with others. Whanaungatanga is the foundation for these relationships. The older children support the younger children. Most children understand the expectations for welcoming manuhiri. Children learn through genuine and respectful relationships and interactions.
Children have a place where they are valued, happy, safe and secure in their learning. The learning programme is well organised and managed. The environment offers many opportunities for children to develop skills and knowledge.
Planning and assessment processes are comprehensive and detailed. Programme content including resourcing and learning outcomes are clearly identified. Assessment information updates whānau on their children’s learning.
The charter outlines clear expectations for whānau involvement in kōhanga reo operations. There are clear, comprehensive and detailed policies and procedures to guide whanau to manage the kōhanga reo. Children learn in a well-managed environment.
Kaimahi know their roles and responsibilities. Their conditions of employment are clear. The whānau have reviewed and updated appraisal processes. Kaimahi participate in targeted professional development. Children benefit from kaimahi who continue to improve their practice to meet their learning needs.
Internal review supports whānau to determine areas for improvement in the kōhanga reo. Regular reporting to whānau supports informed decision making. The children enjoy a learning environment where their whānau are actively engaged and focused on improvement.
There are no clear processes in place to evaluate the learning programme. Kaimahi acknowledge that evaluation will support them to continue to meet children’s needs through reflection and action.
While the whānau are very clear about their priorities for the long term development of the kōhanga reo, these are yet to be documented in a plan that shows how goals and aspirations will be achieved.
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 and the Kōhanga Reo whānau developed the following recommendations:
Te Kōhanga Reo o Whirinaki is near the Hokianga Harbour, Northland. Children clearly show that they are confident learners during their work and their interactions with others. Whanaungatanga is the foundation for all practice at the kōhanga reo. Whānau show passion and commitment to the education of their children in te reo Māori. Children experience a sense of wellbeing and belonging at kōhanga reo.
The next ERO review of Te Kōhanga Reo o Whirinaki will be in three years.
