Ka whakarato ngā pūrongo a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i ngā mōhiohio mātuatua mā ngā whānau, ngā hapū, me ngā iwi. 7
Ko Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Hau Kapua tētahi kōhanga reo e noho tāone nui ana ki te hapori o Bayswater, i Tāmaki-makau-rau. E whakatairanga ana te whānau i ngā uara o te manaakitanga, te aroha, me te tiaki. Kua roa nei ngā kaimahi me ngā whānau e whai wāhi atu ana ki te kōhanga reo nei, mō ngā whakatupuranga e toru. Kua hokihoki mai ētahi manu pīrere ki te kōhanga reo, ki te whakapūmau i te whakareretanga iho kia ako ngā mokopuna mā te reo Māori. He tino hononga tō te whānau ki Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Te Raki Paewhenua, ā, he tokomaha ngā mokopuna ka whai tonu i te mātauranga mā te whakawhiti atu ki taua kura.
He ngākau titikaha ō ngā mokopuna ki tō rātou kōhanga reo, ā, he hononga whakawhirinakitanga ō rātou ki ētahi atu.
E ako ana ngā mokopuna ki tētahi taiao whai hua, ā, ka atawhai, ka aro nui hoki ngā kaimahi ki a rātou. Ka whakatauira ngā kaimahi i ngā uara o te aroha, te manaaki, te tiaki, me te ngākau whakaiti. Kei te tino mōhio rātou ki ngā mokopuna me ō rātou whānau. He nui ngā rauemi o roto, o waho hoki i te kōhanga reo, ā, ka whai wāhi atu ngā mokopuna ki ngā taumahi e whakaū ana i ō rātou ngākau nuitanga. Nā ngā mahinga me ngā ritenga o ia rā, ka taunga te āhua ki ngā mokopuna, ā, ka tino ngākau nui ngā mokopuna ki te tākaro kēmu, ki te waiata, me te whakapuaki hoki i ō rātou pepeha. Ka whakanuia ngā mahi katoa a ngā mokopuna e ngā kaimahi, e ō rātou hoa hoki. Ka kitea te pārekareka o ngā mokopuna i roto i ā rātou taunekeneke me ō rātou hononga ki ētahi atu.
Ahakoa e kōrero ana ngā kaimahi i te reo Māori anake ki ngā mokopuna, he pai kē atu ki ngā mokopuna te kōrero i te reo Pākehā. E mōhio ana te whānau ki taua tūāhuatanga, ā, kua uru atu ētahi ki ngā akoranga reo Māori, hei hāpai i ā rātou mokopuna. He rautaki hoki ā ngā kaimahi, hei hāpai i ngā whānau ki te whakakaha ake i te reo Māori ki ngā kāinga. Ka whai wāhi ki ngā akoranga ā-rōpū o ia rā me ngā wā whāriki, ko ngā pūkenga tīmatanga i roto i te pāngarau me te reo matatini, ā, ka taea e ngā mokopuna te tatau, me te ārahi i ētahi atu ki te pānui i ngā pikitia o ngā waiata. Kei te harikoa ngā mokopuna, ka whakangahau rātou, ā, ka ngākau nui ki te ako.
Kua whakatakotohia ngā tukanga e tika ana mō te whakamahere, te aromatawai, me te aromātai hōtaka. Ka whakamahere ngātahi ngā kaimahi i ngā kaupapa mō ia wāhanga, ā, ka hono pū ērā ki ngā kaupapa whānui o te tau. He whai wāhitanga mō ngā whānau ki te whakapuaki i ō rātou whakaaro me ō rātou wawata ki ngā mahere, ā, he tokomaha o rātou ka kawe mai i ngā rauemi ki te kōhanga reo, hei hāpai i ngā akoranga a ngā mokopuna. Ka hono ngā mahere ki Te Whāriki a Te Kōhanga Reo, ka kite i te whai wāhi nui a ngā mokopuna ki ngā kaupapa, ki ngā mahi toi ātaahua i ngā pakitara o ngā kōhanga reo. E tohu ana ngā pūkete a ia mokopuna i ā rātou akoranga i roto i te roanga o te wā, ā, ka whakatakoto hoki i ētahi tauira o ā rātou mahi. Ka whakatutuki haere ngā kaimahi i ngā tūmomo aromatawai e hāngai pū ana ki ngā matea whakawhanaketanga o ngā mokopuna. E ākina ana te whānau ki te tuku kōrero e pā ana ki ngā akoranga a ngā mokopuna. Whakatū ai ngā kaimahi i ngā hui i ia rua wiki, ā, ka whakawhiti kōrero rātou mō ngā matea me ngā ngākau nuitanga o ngā mokopuna, mō tā rātou ahu whakamua hoki, me ngā mahere kaupapa. Ka kōrero hoki rātou i ngā tūāhuatanga i whai hua ai, i ērā hoki kīhai i whai hua ai, me ngā whakarerekētanga e tika ana ki te hāpai i te hōtaka akoranga. Ka whai hua ngā mokopuna nā ngā hōtaka i whakamaheretia ai, otirā, e aro ana hoki ki ō rātou pūkenga, ō rātou ngākau nuitanga, me ō rātou matea.
Kei te whānau ngā pūnaha whai hua i āta whakaritea ai ki te whakahaere i te kōhanga reo. Ka whai wāhi mātātoa te whānau whānui, ā, ka hāpai i te rere pai o ngā whakaritenga o ia rā. Ka whakatau ngātahi i ngā whakaritenga ki ngā hui ā-whānau e āta aro nui ana ki ngā mahi. Ka whai pānga ki ngā kaupapa rautaki matua, ko ngā wawata o te whānau, ko te kaupapa o te kōhanga reo, me te tupu, te whakawhānui hoki. E hāngai ana ngā kaupapa here o te tūtohinga ki ngā herenga ā-ture o tēnei wā, ā, nō nā noa nei i arotakengia ai. E aroturuki ana te mahere mahi i te ahu whakamua ki te whakatutuki i ngā whāinga, ā, ka tautuhi i ngā rārangi wā me ngā kawenga mahi. He pai te mahere ā-tau ki te ārahi i ngā mahi i te tari, me ngā whakaritenga e pā ana ki ngā pūtea, te hauora, me te haumaru. He pai hoki te māramatanga o te whānau ki te Children's Act 2014. Nō nā noa nei ngā kaiwhakarite i whai wāhi atu ai ki te whakawhanaketanga ngaio, hei whakapakari i tō rātou māramatanga ki ngā whakaritenga ārai tamariki, ā, he kaupapa here matawhānui hoki tā rātou e hautū ana i ngā whakaritenga kia haumaru ai ngā mokopuna. He pai te whakahaeretanga o ngā kaimahi, e whakatutukihia ana ngā arohaehae, ā, ka whai pānga ērā ki ngā whāinga ako ngaio e tautuhia ai mō ngā kaimahi. E whai hua ana ngā mokopuna nā ngā pūnaha whakahaere me ngā tukanga whakahaere a te whānau.
Kua tautuhia e te whānau ko te whakawhanaketanga i ngā rawa tētahi kaupapa matua, ā, e tautoko ana te aromātai a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i taua tūāhuatanga. Kua oti te nuinga o ngā whakawhanaketanga i whakamaheretia ai. Heoi anō, e akiaki ana Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i te whānau ki te whai whakaaro ki te hoki atu anō ki ngā whāinga rautaki - tae atu hoki ki ngā whāinga kua tāpirihia – hei whakapai tonu ake i ngā wāhi ako o roto, o waho hoki mō ngā mokopuna. Ka whai hua ngā mokopuna mā ngā taiao ako whakaongaonga e poipoi ana i ō rātou pūkenga, ō rātou ngākau nuitanga, me ō rātou matea.
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.
I whakawhanakehia e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga me te whānau o te kōhanga reo te taunakitanga e whai ake nei, arā, kia:

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. The ERO reports provide important information for whānau, hapū and iwi.
Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Hau Kapua is an urban kōhanga reo located in Bayswater, Auckland. Whānau promote the values of manaakitanga, aroha and tiaki. Kaimahi and whānau have a long association with the kōhanga reo, spanning three generations. Manupīrere have returned to the kōhanga reo to maintain the legacy held for mokopuna to learn in te reo Māori. The whānau have a close relationship with Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Te Rakipaewhenua with many mokopuna transitioning to the kura for further education.
Mokopuna are confident in their kōhanga reo and have trusting relationships with others.
Mokopuna learn in a positive environment with warm, responsive and attentive kaimahi. Kaimahi model the values of aroha, manaaki, tiaki and ngākau whakaiti. They know mokopuna and their whānau well. The kōhanga reo is well resourced both inside and out and mokopuna engage with activities that sustain their interest. Daily routines and rituals provide familiarity, mokopuna especially enjoy playing kemu, singing waiata and sharing their pepehā. All mokopuna contributions are acknowledged by kaimahi and their peers. Mokopuna show enjoyment in their interactions and relationships with others.
While kaimahi speak only te reo Māori to mokopuna, the preferred language for mokopuna is English. Whānau are aware of this, and some are enrolled in te reo Māori courses to support their mokopuna. Kaimahi also have strategies to support whānau to use te reo Māori more in the home. Early numeracy and literacy skills are included in daily group learning, te wā whāriki, and mokopuna can count and lead others to read pictures of waiata. Mokopuna are happy, have fun and they enjoy learning.
Appropriate planning, assessment and programme evaluation processes are in place. Kaimahi collectively plan the kaupapa for each wāhanga, these link to the overall kaupapa of the year. Whānau have opportunities to contribute their ideas and aspirations to planning and many bring in resources that support mokopuna learning. Planning links to Te Whāriki a Te Kōhanga Reo and attractive artwork on the kōhanga reo walls show mokopuna enthusiastically engaged in the kaupapa. Individual mokopuna portfolios show their learning over time and include samples of their mahi. Kaimahi carry out different assessment for mokopuna best suited to their developmental needs. Whānau are encouraged to comment on mokopuna learning. Kaimahi hold fortnightly hui and discuss mokopuna needs, interests, progress and kaupapa planning. They use this time to discuss what is going well, the things that didn’t go well and changes they need to make to the learning programme. Mokopuna benefit from planned programmes that respond to their strengths, interests and needs.
Whānau have well organised and efficient systems in place to manage the kōhanga reo. The wider whānau are active participants and support the smooth day to day operations. Collective decision making takes place at focussed whānau hui. Strategic priorities are influenced by whānau aspirations, te kaupapa o te kōhanga reo, growth and expansion. Tūtohinga policies align to current legislation and have been recently reviewed. An action plan monitors progress toward achieving goals and identifies timeframes and responsibilities. The annual plan guides administrative duties, finances and health and safety practices well. Whānau have a good understanding of the Children’s Act 2014. Kaiwhakarite recently participated in professional development to strengthen their understanding of child protection measures and a comprehensive policy directs how they ensure mokopuna safety. Personnel practices are managed well, and appraisals are undertaken and these lead to identifying professional learning goals for kaimahi. Mokopuna benefit from whānau whakahaere systems and processes.
Whānau identify property development as a priority, the ERO evaluation supports this. Most planned developments have been completed. However, ERO encourages whānau to consider revisiting strategic goals and including additional goals that further improve learning spaces for mokopuna both inside and out. Mokopuna benefit from stimulating learning environments that cater to their strengths, interests and needs.
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 recommendation:

E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Hau Kapua ki ngā papa o te kura tuatahi o Bayswater, ki te takiwā tonu o Bayswater, ki Tāmaki-makau-rau. Kua roa nei te kōhanga reo e whai hononga atu ana ki Te Tauā Moana o Aotearoa. Ka whakawhitiwhiti haere te nuinga o ngā whānau. Kua tāoki te kaiako whai muri i te arotake o mua. Kāhore anō kia taea e te whānau tētahi atu kaiako whai tohu te whakatū.
He ngākau titikaha ō ngā tamariki ki te whakatinana i te whanaungatanga ki waenga i a rātou anō, ā, ki ētahi atu hoki.
Ka tūhonohono atu ngā tamariki ki ētahi atu mā te tangongitanga o ngā tūmomo horopaki. He maha ngā whai wāhitanga o te taiao e whakaratohia ana e te whānau kia tūhonohono ai ngā tamariki ki ētahi atu. Ka taunekeneke ngā tamariki ki a Ranginui rāua ko Papatūānuku, ā, ka ako hoki i a rāua. Ka whai rātou i ngā mahinga, ā, ka toro atu ki ngā tikanga Māori i ia rā. Ka kitea tō rātou whakaute, tō rātou manaakitanga hoki mō ētahi atu. Ko te mahi ngahau, te katakata, te waiata, me te kanikani hoki ki te taha o ētahi atu ngā tūmomo taumahi i ia te wā. Kei te harikoa ngā tamariki.
E ako ana ngā tamariki i ō rātou tuakiri me ō rātou tūrangawaewae. Ka whai wāhi atu rātou ki tētahi hōtaka e poipoi ana i tō rātou tuakiri. Ka āta whakarite ngā kaimahi i te whai wāhi atu a ngā tamariki ki ngā pōwhiri me ngā whakatau. Ka kite ngā tamariki i te whakatinanatanga o ngā tikanga me ngā kawa. Ka whai wāhi atu, ka ako hoki rātou i ō rātou tūranga me ā rātou kawenga mahi hei tangata whenua. Kei te mōhio hoki ngā tamariki ki ngā kawa me ngā tikanga o tō rātou kōhanga reo. Kei te mauritau ngā tamariki.
E whai wāhi nui ana ngā tamariki ki tētahi taiao e poipoi mārika ana i ngā hononga e whai pūtake ana. Ka whakatairanga ngā kaimahi i ngā uara o te aroha, te manaaki, me te āwhina. Ka kaha poipoi rātou i ngā tamariki e manaakitia ana e rātou. He whai wāhitanga mō ngā tamariki ki te ārahi i ngā tūmomo wāhanga o te hōtaka akoranga. Ka whakamihia ngā tamariki mō ā rātou whakamātau. He pakari ngā tamariki nohinohi ki te toro atu ki ngā ringa tautāwhi o te whānau. E poipoia ana te wairua aroha ki ngā awhi me ngā kihi. E tino manaakitia ana ngā tamariki.
E hāpaitia ana te ako a ngā tamariki i te reo Māori. E whakamahi ana ngā kaimahi i ngā rautaki e whakawhānui ana i te mōhiotanga o ngā tamariki ki te reo Māori, me tā rātou whakapuakitanga i te reo. Ka tūmāia ngā tamariki tuākana ki te taki i ngā karakia me ngā hīmene, ā, kei te harikoakoa tā rātou whai wāhi atu ki ngā wā waiata. Ka whakamahi ngā tamariki tēina i te reo ā-tinana hei tohu i tō rātou māramatanga ki te ao, ā, hei whakawhitiwhiti whakaaro hoki ki ētahi atu. E whanake ana ngā tamariki ki te kōrero i te reo Māori.
E ako ana ngā tamariki mā te nui o ngā rauemi ki te kōhanga reo. He maha ngā rauemi ako o ngā wāhi o roto e hāpai ana i ngā kaimahi ki te whakamahere i te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo wheako ako mā ngā tamariki. E pērā ana hoki te tini o ngā rauemi i whakaratohia ai e te whānau ki ngā wāhi o waho, e akiaki ana, e whakaongaonga ana hoki i te tūhura haere a ngā tamariki, ā, e wero ana i ngā nekehanga o ō rātou tinana. Ka tūhura ngā tamariki i ngā tūāhua, ngā tae, ngā kakano, ngā nekehanga, te wai, me ngā tauira. He ngākau titikaha ō rātou ki te whakamātau i ngā āhuatanga hou. Kei te mātātoa ngā tamariki hei ākonga.
He pai ngā mahi a te whānau ki te whakahaere i te kōhanga reo. Hui ai rātou i ia te wā, ā, he pai te tae ā-tinana atu me te āhua o ngā tukanga i whakatakotohia ai hei arotake i ā rātou mahi whakahaere. Kei te mātātoa rātou ki te tautoko i ngā whakahaeretanga o ia rā. Kua whakahoungia te tūtohinga, ngā kaupapa here, me ngā tukanga. E ārahi ana, e hāpai ana hoki te mahere rautaki i te ahu whakamua a te kōhanga reo. E whakaatuhia ana te mahere ā-tau hei tirohanga mā te katoa, ā, e noho mōhio ana te whānau ki ngā whakahaeretanga matua me ngā wātaka mahi, puta noa i te maramataka. Kua whakatakotohia ngā whakaritenga papai e pā ana ki te whakahaeretanga o ngā pūtea me ngā kaimahi. E whai hua ana ngā tamariki nā te pai o ngā mahi whakahaere a te whānau.
Ahakoa kua whakaritea ngā kaupapa here matua e pā ana ki te hauora me te haumaru, kāhore anō te whānau kia whakarite, kia whakatinana hoki i tētahi mahere mō te moe o ngā tamariki, hei aroturuki i te āhua o ō rātou wā moe. He mea nui kia pūmautia e te whānau ngā herenga ā-ture o te wā, kia aroturukitia te noho haumaru o ngā tamariki katoa.
Me arotake i ngā mahere, te aromatawai, me te aromātai. Kāhore ngā kaimahi e noho mārama ana ki ngā hononga ki waenga i aua āhuatanga. Kua tae ki te wā kia toro atu te whānau ki te tautoko e tika ana mō ngā kaimahi, kia whanakehia ai tō rātou māramatanga ki ngā huarahi e whakatairanga ake ai i te kounga o ngā akoranga a ngā tamariki mā te whai hononga tonu o ngā mahere, ngā aromatawai, me te aromātai.
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 tutuki ana e ai ki te ture. Kia tutuki i te whānau o te kōhanga reo ngā 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:

Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Hau Kapua is located on the grounds of Bayswater Primary School in Bayswater, Auckland. It has a long association with the Navy. Many whānau are transient. Since the previous review, the kaiako has retired. Whānau have not been able to acquire a trained kaiako.
Children confidently display whanaungatanga with each other and others.
Children connect with others across a wide variety of contexts. Whānau provide an environment with many opportunities for children to connect with others. Children interact with and learn about Rangi and Papa. They follow routines and experience tikanga Māori every day. They demonstrate respect and care for others. Having fun, laughing, singing and dancing in the company of others are regular activities. Children are happy.
Children are learning about who they are and where they come from. They participate in a programme that nurtures their identity. Kaimahi ensure children are involved in pōwhiri or whakatau. Children observe tikanga and kawa in action. They participate and learn about their roles and responsibilities as tangata whenua. Children also know the kawa and tikanga of their kōhanga reo. Children are settled.
Children experience an environment where relationships are meaningful. Kaimahi promote values of aroha, manaaki and āwhina. They have a positive nurturing approach to caring for children. Children have opportunities to lead different aspects of the learning programme. Children are praised for their efforts. Young children confidently reach out to whānau for comfort. Hugs and kisses reinforce a loving environment. Children are well cared for.
Children are supported to learn te reo Māori. Kaimahi use strategies to extend children’s knowledge and use of te reo Māori. Older children confidently recite karakia, himene and participate with delight during waiata. Younger children use body language to express their understanding of the world and as a way of communicating with others. Children are developing as speakers of te reo Māori.
Children are learning in a well-resourced kōhanga reo. The indoor spaces have many learning resources that enable kaimahi to plan a range of learning experiences for children. Outdoors, whānau similarly have provided a variety of resources that encourage and stimulate exploration and physical challenges for children. Children explore shapes, colours, textures, movement, water and patterns. They are confident to try new things. Children are active learners.
Whānau manage the operations of the kōhanga reo well. They meet regularly, have good attendance and good processes in place to review their operations. They actively support daily operations. The charter, policies and procedures have been updated. The strategic plan guides and supports the future direction of the kōhanga reo. A publicly displayed annual plan ensures whānau are aware of key operations and timeframes across the calendar. Good financial and personnel management practices are in place. Children benefit from good whānau whakahaere.
Planning, assessment and evaluation needs to be reviewed. Kaimahi are not clear about the relationship between each component. It is timely that whānau seek support for kaimahi to develop their understanding of how the quality of children’s learning is enhanced through the linked activities of planning, assessment and evaluation.
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 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 Te Hau Kapua will be in three years.

Ka whakahaeretia tētahi arotake tāpiri i runga o te whakataunga ā te Kaiurungi Whakaturuki Arotake Māori i Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga.
E aromātai ana te arotake tāpiri 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 arotake mātauranga o mua atu i tēnei, me ētahi atu wāhanga rānei kua tāutuhia whai muri o taua arotake.
Ko tēnei arotake tāpiri i whakaritea i runga o 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 arotake. Ko ngā whakataunga mō ngā whakapuakitanga e pā ana ki tēnei arotake, ko te titiro ki:
E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Hau Kapua ki ngā papa o te kura tuatahi o Waikokoru, ki te rohe o Te Waitematā, i Tāmaki-makau-rau. E noho pūmau ana te whānau ki te reo Māori me ngā hononga papai ki te hapori. He tokomaha o te whānau e hono ana ki te tauā moana, ā, kua roa nei ngā hononga pēnei. I taunaki te pūrongo o mua a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga, kia toro atu te whānau ki te āwhina o Te Poari Matua o Ngā Kōhanga Reo, hei whakatutuki i ngā whakaritenga matua ka whai ake mō ngā tamariki.
I tāutu te pūrongo o mua a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i te iti noa o ngā whai wāhitanga mō ngā tamariki ki te ako i te reo, otirā, ki te whakawhānui ake i ō rātou mōhiotanga me tō rātou āheinga ki te whakamahi i te reo Māori.
I nāianei, e whiwhi ana ngā tamariki i ngā taumahi ako reo e whakaongaonga ana, hei hāpai i tō rātou whakawhanaketanga. He whānui ngā tūmomo whai wāhitanga ōkawa, whai wāhitanga ōpaki anō hoki ā rātou ki te whakamahi i te reo Māori. He pārekareka ki ngā tamariki te waiata. Ka tāwhai ngā tamariki tēina i ō rātou tuākana e kawe ana i ngā mahi ārahi, ā, e whakamahi ana hoki i te reo Māori i ngā akoranga. Ka kōrero ngā kaimahi i te reo Māori anake ki te taha o ngā tamariki. Kua āta whakatakotohia e te whānau ngā mahi rautaki e whakapiki ana i te whakamahinga o te reo Māori ki waenga i te whānau. Ka whakatairangatia te whakawhanaketanga reo me te ako o ngā tamariki ki te kōhanga reo.
I taunaki te pūrongo o mua a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga, kia whakapai ake ngā kaimahi me te whānau i ngā mahi ki te whakamahere, te whakahaere, me te whakatinana i ngā hōtaka akoranga o Te Whāriki, hei poipoi i ngā ngākau nuitanga, ngā matea, me ngā huarahi ako ake o ngā tamariki. I taunaki hoki Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga kia whakapā atu ngā kaiako ki te tautoko o Te Poari Matua o Ngā Kōhanga Reo, hei whakapai ake i ngā whakaritenga mā ngā tamariki.
I nāianei, ko ngā matea me ngā ngākau nuitanga o ngā tamariki kei te pūtake o ngā mahi whakamahere o Te Whāriki. He whānui ngā tūmomo taumahi ako kaupapa e whakamaheretia ana mō ngā tūmomo reanga me ngā tūmomo ngākau nuitanga. Ka kitea ki ngā mahere a ngā kaimahi, ko ngā ngākau nuitanga o ngā tamariki me ō rātou matea ako. He pai te aronga a ngā kaimahi ki te whakahaere i ngā akoranga mā ngā tamariki, puta noa i te rā. He tau ngā tamariki, ā, e whakaongaongatia ana, e whai wāhi nui ana hoki rātou ki ngā akoranga. Kua whakapā atu ngā kaimahi ki te tautoko me ngā mahi whakangungu a Te Poari Matua o Ngā Kōhanga Reo, hei whakapai ake i ngā whakaritenga o Te Whāriki mā ngā tamariki. Ko te ako ngaio me te whakawhanaketanga ngaio o ngā kaimahi katoa, e whai pānga nui ana ki ngā hua i ngā putanga ako o ngā tamariki.
Kua whai hua ngā mahi a te whānau o Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Hau Kapua ki te whakatairanga i te kounga o ngā wheako ako reo e whiwhia ana e ngā tamariki mā Te Whāriki. Kei te whakaongaongatia ngā tamariki i nāianei, ā, he tau anō hoki rātou hei ākonga e rumakina ana ki tētahi taiao akoranga o te reo Māori.
Ka arotake anō Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Hau Kapua i roto i te toru o ngā tau.

A supplementary review is undertaken at the discretion of the Deputy Chief Review Officer Māori in the Education Review Office (ERO).
A supplementary review evaluates the extent and effectiveness of actions a kōhanga reo has taken towards addressing issues specified in its previous ERO review and/or any additional areas identified since that review.
This supplementary review 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 review. The terms of reference for this review are to investigate:
Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Hau Kapua is situated on the grounds of Bayswater Primary School, North Shore, Auckland. Whānau are committed to te reo Māori and maintaining the positive relationships within the community. Many whānau have connections to the Navy and these relationships have been longstanding. The last ERO report recommended that the whānau seek assistance from Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust (TKRNT) to address all key next steps for children.
The previous ERO report identified that children had limited language learning opportunities to extend their knowledge of and ability to use te reo Māori.
Children now receive stimulating language learning activities to support their development. They have a range of formal and informal opportunities to engage in te reo Māori. Children enjoy performing waiata. Younger children mimic their tuakana performing lead roles, and using te reo Māori for learning. Kaimahi only speak te reo Māori with and around the children. Whānau have made deliberate strategic actions to increase the use of te reo Māori within the whānau. Children’s language development and learning at kōhanga reo is enhanced.
The previous ERO report recommended kaimahi and whānau improve the way in which Te Whāriki programmes of learning are planned, managed and implemented to cater for children’s interests, needs and learning preferences. ERO also recommended that kaiako access support from TKRNT to improve practices for children.
Children’s needs and interests are now at the centre of Te Whāriki planning practices. . There are a range of kaupapa learning activities planned for the different ages and interests. Kaimahi plans reflect children’s interests and their needs for learning. Kaimahi have good direction for managing learning for children throughout the day. Children are settled, stimulated and engaged in learning. Kaimahi have received support and training from TKRNT to improve Te Whāriki practices for children. Professional learning and development for all kaimahi has impacted positively on learning outcomes for children.
The whānau of Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Hau Kapua have worked well to raise the quality of language learning experiences children receive through Te Whāriki. Children are now stimulated and settled as learners, immersed in a te reo Māori learning environment.
The next ERO review of Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Hau Kapua will be in three years.
