Kei te kaha ahu whakamua ngā kaiārahi me ngā kaiako i ngā whakapaitanga ki aua whakaritenga.

E hāpaitia ana, e whakamanahia ana ngā uri kia puāwai ai rātou ki tētahi taiao e aro nui ana ki te ahurea me te mātauranga.

He Rautaki Ako, he mahere takitahi hoki tā ia uri, hei ārahi, hei aroturuki i tā rātou ahu whakamua ki te whakatutuki i ō rātou wawata, me tā rātou whakatakoto whāinga.

Ka kitea ki ngā hōtuku a te kura, kei te pai ngā whakatutukitanga o ngā uri i roto i te Pāngarau me te Reo Matatini i roto i te roanga o te wā. I te tau 2023, he tata ki te 56% o ngā uri i whakatutuki i te Taumata 1 o Te Taumata Mātauranga ā-Motu kua Taea, me te rironga o te nuinga o rātou i ngā whakamanatanga, ā, e 92% o ngā uri i whakatutuki i te Taumata 2 o Te Taumata Mātauranga ā-Motu kua Taea.

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.
“E Puta Ki Taiātea”
Ngā Taiātea Wharekura is situated in Rotokauri, Hamilton. The kura provides kaupapa Māori education to uri in Years 9-13. Ngā Taiātea Wharekura holds a significant place within the mana whenua of Ngāti Māhanga, contributing to the aspirations of Kīngitanga and the wider Tainui waka. ‘E puta ki Taiātea’ expresses the vision that all uri will be prepared to serve, uplift and lead.
In the November 2023 Manam Poumarumaru ERO review, ERO and the ohu kaitiaki identified the kura improvement priorities were to:
Leaders and kaiako are making steady progress with improving these practices.
Uri are acquiring positive attributes that assist their development as ancestrally driven and future focused servant leaders.
Uri identity and potential is enhanced through learning opportunities underpinned by tukuihotanga. Pūkenga Ako, Uaratanga, Tukuihotanga and Ara Whai Oranga (PUTA) based mātauranga, te reo and tīkanga Māori underpin teaching and learning. Uri enthusiastically participate in education at kura, in the wider community and at iwi events such as Poukai and Koroneihana. Kaiako provide hands-on experiences that encourage uri to delve more deeply into the kaupapa. Whanaungatanga is highly valued by uri and kaiako. The uaratanga of Te Poutuwhakaaro which include pono, kawenga, tauutuutu, whanaungatanga and aroha underpin uri experience in education.
Uri are supported and empowered to thrive in an environment that is culturally and academically responsive. Student achievement is regularly assessed, tracked and reported. Uri have Rautaki Ako, individualised plans, to guide and monitor their progress toward achieving their aspirations and set goals. This practice requires whānau collaboration and uri reflection and evaluation. Rautaki Ako are shared twice annually with whānau to celebrate progress and growth. There is a focus on establishing a solid foundation for uri in Years 9 and 10 to support their knowledge and skills as they work toward achieving the National Certificate of Educational Achievement (NCEA).
Uri determining their future pathways are well-supported. Waharoa-Gateway programmes provide uri with opportunities to gain work experience in the community. Uri also engage in a varied range of experiences that support their achievement in NCEA Levels 1, 2 and 3. Uri leading their own learning is skilfully facilitated by kaiako and includes co-constructing learning expectations. Uri demonstrate a high degree of understanding of achievement standards, where they are at and what they need to work on to accomplish their individual learning goals. Kura data shows uri achieve well in Numeracy and Literacy over time. In 2023, nearly 56% of uri achieved NCEA Level 1, most with endorsements and 92% of uri achieved NCEA Level 2. 85% achieved NCEA Level 3 and almost all with endorsements, a notable increase in endorsements compared with 2022. 45.5% of uri gained University Entrance (UE).
It is timely to strengthen whānau engagement in decision-making. Whānau and uri aspire to be immersed in an environment where the marau ā-kura is underpinned by mātauranga Māori. Kura leaders should continue to create opportunities for whānau engagement in the life of the kura and to seek their voice to inform the strategic direction of the kura.
Before the evaluation, the board of trustees and tumuaki completed the ERO Te Poumarumaru Assurance Statement and Self-Audit Checklists. In these documents they attested that they had taken all reasonable steps to meet their legislative obligations related to:
During the evaluation, ERO checked the following items because they have a potentially high impact on student safety and wellbeing:

The kura curriculum and environment fosters uri to develop as servant leaders who are ancestrally driven and future focused.
Pūkenga Ako, Uaratanga, Tukuihotanga and Ara Whai Oranga (PUTA) guide governance practices well. The poumarumaru actively represent and serve uri, whānau and the kura. The kura mission promotes a learning environment for uri to achieve to their full potential and act as servant leaders. The poumarumaru, including uri members, enact the kura vision. They bring a diverse range of knowledge and skills to their collective roles and responsibilities. Decision making is well informed and uri, whānau and community views are considered and respected. Relationships between members of the poumarumaru and professional leaders are based on trust, integrity and openness. The poumarumaru provide good support to kura leaders to ensure positive outcomes for uri are realised.
The ohu kaitiaki, leadership team implement a coherent approach to improving professional learning and practice. New members to the ohu have provided an impetus for innovation and change. Leaders have created an environment where kaiako wellbeing and professional capability can thrive. The Rautaki Ako process, builds individual’s professional and teaching capability. The process is formative, inquiring and evidence based.
The aspirations of uri, kaiako, and the wider whānau are to the fore and contribute to decision making and the prioritisation of goals and targets. The ohu kaitiaki build relational trust and leadership capability amongst all staff and recognise that all kaiako are leaders. Uri experience high expectations for and are developing as positive role models and leaders.
The ohu kaitiaki and kaiako are currently reviewing assessment practices in preparation for the implementation of the Level 1 National Certificates in Educational Achievement (NCEA) standards in 2024. Teaching and learning programmes for Years 9 and 10 are also a focus of internal review. ERO’s evaluation affirms these as development priorities.
The school have recently moved to using School Docs. They are in the process of familiarising themselves with current legislation and expectations and personalising these to the kura context.
During the evaluation, ERO checked at the following areas:

The Education Review Office (ERO) and Ngā Kura ā-Iwi (NKāI) are working together to capture the journey of learners who have experienced a Ngā Kura ā-Iwi education, Whaia Ngā Ara Painga Kia Angitu Ai.
Ngā Taiātea Wharekura is in Rotokauri, Hamilton. The kura concentrates on the holistic (cultural, intellectual, physical, spiritual and whānau) development, well-being and advancement of all students.

Ko te paatai ia, he aha te tuuaapapa? Tuatahi ake ko te reo me ngaa tikanga. Ka rua, ko PoUtuWhaKaAro, araa, ngaa uaratanga o te kura e aarahi nei i a maatou. Ka toru, ko te whakapono o ngaa kaimahi, o ngaa kaiako, o ngaa pou o te Poari, ki te pitomata o te kaupapa whaanui, otiraa ko te whakapono ki te pitomata o ngaa aakonga, o ngaa whaanau, o ngaa hapuu me te iwi Maaori whaanui. Ko taa maatou mahi ko te poipoi, te tautoko me te kaha akiaki nei i ngaa aakonga kia eke ki taumata tiketike ahakoa kei whea, ahakoa te kaupapa kia tuu pakari, kia tuu Maaori raatou hei Manu Taaiko moo te whaanau, moo te hapuu, mo te iwi anoo hoki.”

It is a kura where everyone is related. It is a kura for the community. It is a kura that is connected to the marae, therefore we were all raised within the principles of the Kīngitanga.
There was a focus on all Māori, not just Waikato. There was wide and deep whanaungatanga, manaakitanga and tiakitanga for all students.

The Education Review Office found that:
The next ERO review of Ngā Taiātea Wharekura will be a Wai pūaunui–Evaluation.
| Wai-hōpua ‘source of water’ Acknowledging potential. | Wai-kāuru ‘head waters’ The river emerges from the source and begins a meandering course. | Wai-kōmiro ‘swift waters’ The river has emerged and begins to build momentum. | Wai-pūaunui ‘great river mouth’ The river has reached the sea. It is sustainable, it draws it’s strength from more than one source. It is influential, as it’s current it felt across it’s length and breadth and beyond to the ocean. |
