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 whakarato ngā pūrongo a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i ngā mōhiohio mātuatua mā ngā hapū me ngā iwi.
E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Tītahi Bay ki Porirua, ki Te Whanganui-a-Tara. Nō te tau 1983 te kōhanga reo i whakatūngia ai. Koia nei anake te kōhanga reo ki tēnei takiwā. Ko tō te whānau wawata, kia kōrerohia e ā rātou mokopuna te reo Māori.
Ka whakapuakihia e ngā mokopuna te whanaungatanga mā roto mai i te pai o ā rātou taunekeneke me ō rātou hononga ki ētahi atu.
Kua taunga ki ngā mokopuna ngā tikanga e whai pānga ana ki te whanaungatanga. Ka whakarato ngā kaimahi i ngā whai wāhitanga mō ngā mokopuna ki te ārahi me te tautoko i ō rātou nā hoa i roto i ngā kaupapa ōkawa, pērā i ngā wā o ngā karakia, ngā waiata, me ngā mōteatea. Ka whakapūmautia ngā hononga ā-whakapapa, puta noa i te hōtaka akoranga. Kei te mōhio ngā mokopuna ki ngā ingoa o ngā awa, ngā maunga me ngā tīpuna o te takiwā. Ka whai wāhi mātātoa atu ngā kuia me ngā pakeke ki ngā mokopuna, mā ngā huarahi e whai pūtake ana. Ko tētahi rautaki e whakamahia ana e ngā kaimahi, ko te whakamihi me te akiaki i ngā wā katoa, hei whakatairanga ake i te ngākau titikaha o ngā mokopuna. Ka ako ngā mokopuna i ngā painga ka puta i te whakawhanaungatanga ki ngā tāngata me ngā wāhi.
Ka noho mātua rā te whanaungatanga ki te whakahaeretanga o ngā whakaritenga ki te kōhanga reo. He matawhānui ngā meneti o ngā hui ā-whānau, he mōhiohio hoki o roto, ā, he kaha hoki te taetae atu ki ngā hui. Arotakengia ai ngā kaupapa here me ngā tukanga i ia te wā, hei āta whakatau i te hāngaitanga o ērā ki ngā herenga ā-ture, ā, mā tērā te waiora o ngā mokopuna e noho mātua ana. Kei te mahere ā-tau te ārahitanga mārama me ngā rārangi wā e tika ana, kia tutuki ai ngā mahi whakahaere matua o te tari. He mārama hoki te ārahitanga me te aronga o te tūtohinga, mō te whakahaeretanga o te whānau i ā rātou whakaritenga.
Kei te mahere rautaki te tirohanga a te whānau, me ō rātou wawata mō ngā mokopuna. He aronga ki te whakahou ake i ngā rawa me te whakariterite mō te tauatanga. Kei ngā tuhinga mahi a ngā kaimahi, ko ngā kirimana mahi, ngā tuhinga tūranga mahi, me ngā tuhinga e pā ana ki te arowhai i te haumaru o ngā kaimahi. Kua tutuki te arohaehae kaimahi, ā, ka ū te titiro ki te whakapakari tonutanga o ngā pūmanawa. E whakahaerehia ana ngā whakaritenga a te whānau hei tino painga mō ngā mokopuna.
Ko te mahi whakamahere me te aromātai hōtaka a ngā kaimahi, kua pou herea ki ngā uara o te whanaungatanga. Kei te āta hono atu ngā mahere ki Te Whāriki a Te Kōhanga Reo, ā, he mahere ā-tau, ā-wāhanga, ā-marama, ā-wiki hoki o roto hei ārahi i te whakatinanatanga o ngā kaimahi i te hōtaka akoranga. Hui ai ngā kaimahi i ia te wā ki te whakaaro huritao ki te kounga o te hōtaka akoranga. Ka whai wāhi ki ngā rautaki, ko ngā whakarerekētanga e whai hua ai ki te whakapakari, ki te poipoi hoki i ngā matea o ngā mokopuna. Ka whai hua ngā mokopuna nā te hāngai pū o ngā aronga.
Me whakapakari ake i ngā mahi aromatawai. Ahakoa ka whakamahi ngā kaimahi i ngā kōnae mokopuna, he iti noa ngā whakaaturanga e tohu ana i te ako me te ahu whakamua a ia tamaiti, i roto i te roanga o te wā. Ka whai hua ngā mokopuna mā te whakapakaritanga ake o ngā mahi aromatawai.
I te wā o te arotake, i tirohia e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga ngā pūnaha ki te whakahaere i ngā wāhanga e whai ake nei, arā, ki:
te haumaru ā-whatumanawa, tae atu ki te ārahi mauritau me te ārai tamariki
te haumaru ā-tinana, tae atu ki te mātakitaki tamariki, ngā whakaritenga whakamoe, ngā aituā, te whāngai rongoā; me ngā kaupapa here, ngā tukanga hoki mō ngā haerenga whakawaho
te tū tika o ngā kaimahi, tae atu ki te tika o ngā tohu mātauranga, ngā mahi arowhai a ngā pirihimana, me te tatauranga ki waenga i te kaiako me te tamaiti
ngā whakaritenga ohotata me ngā tikanga ohotata e pā ana ki te rū whenua, te ahi, te waipuke, te tai āniwhaniwha, me te mate urutā.
Hei whakatutuki i ngā herenga ā-ture, me tahuri rātou ki te:
āta whakarite i te whakatinanatanga o te marau o te kōhanga reo mā ngā mahere, ngā whakapuakitanga, me ngā aromātai e tohu ana i te māramatanga ki te ako a ngā tamariki, tae atu hoki ki ō rātou ngākau nuitanga, ō rātou whānau, me te āhua tonu o ō rātou nā ao

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 reports provide important information for hapū and iwi.
Te Kōhanga Reo o Tītahi Bay is in Porirua, Wellington. The kōhanga reo was established in 1983. This is the only kōhanga reo in the area. Whānau aspire for their mokopuna to be speakers of te reo Māori.
Mokopuna express whānaungatanga through their positive interactions and relationships with others.
Mokopuna are familiar with tikanga that reflects whānaungatanga. Kaimahi provide mokopuna with opportunities to lead and support each other in formal activities such as karakia, waiata and mōteatea. Whakapapa connections are reinforced throughout the learning programme. The names of the local awa, maunga and tīpuna are familiar to mokopuna. Kuia and adults actively engage with mokopuna in meaningful ways. Constant praise and encouragement are strategies used by kaimahi to promote mokopuna confidence. Mokopuna learn about the positive effects of relationships with people and places.
Whānaungatanga is central to managing the operations of the kōhanga reo. Whānau hui minutes are detailed, informative and hui are well attended. Policies and procedures are regularly reviewed to ensure they reflect legislative requirements, this ensures mokopuna wellbeing is a priority. The annual plan provides clear guidance and timelines required to meet key administrative tasks. The tūtohinga provides clear guidance and direction for the whānau to manage their operations.
Strategic planning includes the vision and aspirations whānau hold for mokopuna. There is a focus on property renovations and succession planning. Kaimahi employment documentation includes employment contracts, job descriptions and kaimahi safety checking. Kaimahi appraisals are complete with an ongoing focus on building capability. Whānau operations are managed in the best interest of the mokopuna.
Kaimahi planning and programme evaluation is underpinned by values of whānaungatanga. Planning is clearly linked to Te Whāriki a Te Kōhanga Reo and includes year, term, monthly and weekly plans that guide kaimahi to implement the learning programme. Kaimahi meet regularly to reflect on the quality of the learning programme. Strategies include positive changes to strengthen and respond to mokopuna needs. Mokopuna benefit from focussed approaches.
Assessment practices require strengthening. While kaimahi use konae mokopuna, there is minimal evidence of individual learning and progress over time. Mokopuna would benefit from improved assessment practices.
During the evaluation, ERO checked at the following areas:
emotional safety of students (including prevention of bullying and sexual harassment)
physical safety of students
teacher registration
processes for appointing staff
stand-downs, suspensions, expulsions, and exclusions
attendance
school policies in relation to meeting the requirements of the Children’s Act 2014.
To meet compliance requirements, they must:
ensure Te Kōhanga Reo curriculum is informed by planning, implementation and evaluation that demonstrates an understanding of children’s learning, their interests, whānau and life contexts.
[Regulation 43 Education (Early Childhood Services) Regulations 2008; C2 Licensing Criteria for Kōhanga Reo affiliated with Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust 2008]
ERO and the kōhanga reo whānau developed the following recommendation:
whānau work alongside the District Office for support with area of concern outlined in this report.

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 Titahi Bay ki Porirua, i Te Whanganui-a-Tara, ā, koia anake te kōhanga reo ki tēnei takiwā. Nō te tau 2016 i whakatakotohia ai ki te pūrongo o mua a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga ngā take i whai pānga ai ki te reo Māori, te whakahaere i te whanonga a ngā tamariki, te whakawhānui ake i te ako a ngā tamariki, te whakarite me te whakahaere i te hōtaka akoranga, te whakahaere i te whānau, te aromātai o roto, te arohaehae, me te hauora, te haumaru hoki o ngā tamariki.
E tino tautokona te ako a ngā tamariki i te reo Māori. Ka tautoko pūmau te kuia i ngā tamariki me te whānau. Ka whakamahi ngā kaimahi i te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo rautaki kia whakapuaki ngā tamariki i ō rātou ake whakaaro mā te reo Māori. He pakari ngā tamariki tuākana ki te whakautu i ngā pātai māmā, ā, ka tāwhai ngā tamariki tēina i ngā kupu me ngā kīanga māmā. Ka whakamahi ngā pēpi i te reo ā-tinana hei whakapuaki i ō rātou whakaaro, ā, hei tohu anō hoki i tō rātou māramatanga ki te reo. Ka whakamihi ngā kaimahi i ngā whakamātau a ngā tamariki ki te whakamahi i te reo Māori. He maha ngā wā ka whakamahia ngā waiata hei whakawhanake i te pakari o ngā tamariki ki te whakamahi i te reo. E whanake ana te tū o ngā tamariki ki te kōrero i te reo Māori.
He pai ngā taunekeneke o ngā tamariki ki ētahi atu. Ka whakatairanga ngā kaimahi i ngā uaratanga o te aroha, te manaaki, me te āwhina i te hōtaka akoranga. Kua whakaritea e rātou ngā mahinga me ngā tūmanako e hāngai ana ki te whanonga i ngā wā ōkawa o te hōtaka. Ka akiaki ngā kaimahi i te whakahaeretanga o ngā tamariki i ētahi o ngā āhuatanga e pā ana ki tō rātou atawhai, tae atu ki te moe me te kai i ngā wā e tika ana ki a rātou. Ka whakarato rātou i ngā whai wāhitanga mō ngā tamariki ki te ārahi i ētahi o ngā tino wāhanga o te hōtaka o ia rā. Ka whakaritea ngā taumahi hei poipoi i ngā taunekeneke e whai pūtake ana ki te noho tahi o te tuakana me te teina. Ka noho whakaute ngā tamariki, ā, ka manaaki anō hoki i ētahi atu.
Ka ārahi ngā matea ako o ngā tamariki i ngā mahere hōtaka. Kei ngā mahere ngā tirohanga ā-tau e hono ana ki ngā mahere o ia marama. Ka whakamahi ngā kaimahi i ngā kaupeka o te tau me ngā atua Māori hei hāpai i ngā kaupapa ako. Ka tāutuhia ngā whāinga ako, ngā rauemi, ngā kupu kōrero hoki mō ia rōpū reanga. Kua whakaritea e ngā kaimahi ngā tukanga ka aromatawai i te ahu whakamua o ngā tamariki i roto i te hōtaka akoranga. He pai te aroturuki i te ako a ngā tamariki. E whiwhi ana ngā tamariki i ngā akoranga e āta whakamaheretia ana, e āta aroturukitia ana hoki.
He pūnaha ā te whānau hei whakahaere i ngā whakaritenga ki te kōhanga reo. Ka mahi ngātahi rātou ki te whakatinana me te aroturuki i ngā tukanga, kia noho mōhio ai rātou ki ngā āhuatanga e pā ana ki ngā kaimahi, ngā pūtea, me te ako a ngā tamariki. He mātātoa te whai wāhi a te whānau ki ngā hui o ia marama, ā, ka whakapuaki i ngā take, i ngā āwangawanga rānei ka pā tōraro pea ki ngā whakawhanaketanga i te kōhanga reo. Whakawhiti kōrero ai te whānau i ngā kaupapa here me ngā tukanga e pā ana ki te hauora me te haumaru. Ka whai hua ngā tamariki nā ngā whakataunga a te whānau, me te aronga nui o ēnei ki tā rātou ako me tō rātou waiora.
Ahakoa he whāinga rautaki ā te whānau, kāhore ēnei e aroturukitia ana i ia te wā. Kua tae ki te wā kia whakaritea e te whānau tētahi mahere mahi ka hāpai ake i a rātou ki te whakatutuki i ā rātou kaupapa matua hei te pae tawhiti. E mōhio ana te whānau, ka whai hua te aroturuki me te pūrongo i te ahu whakamua o ngā rautaki, ā, ka whai hua hoki te whakapakari tonu i tō rātou āheinga ki te whakahaere i ngā whakaritenga ki te kōhanga reo.
Kāhore te hōtaka akoranga e aromātaitia ana i ia te wā. E mōhio ana ngā kaimahi me te whānau, ka whai hua te hui tahi i ia te wā ki te aroturuki i te kounga o te hōtaka akoranga. Ko ngā mema o te whānau e whai pūkenga ana, e noho mātanga ana hoki ka ākina, kia tautoko rātou i ngā kaimahi ki te aromātai i te hōtaka, otirā, hei whakapai ake hoki i ngā whakaritenga.
I whakawhanakehia e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga me te whānau o te kōhanga reo ngā taunakitanga e whai ake nei, arā, kia:
Ka whakahaere anō Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i te aromātai whai muri o Te Kōhanga Reo o Titahi Bay i roto i te toru o ngā tau.

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 reo Māori
Planning and Evaluation
Programme planning, organisation and management
Internal Evaluation
Areas of non-compliance
Any other issues that arise during the reivew.
Te Kōhanga reo o Titahi Bay is in Porirua, Wellington and it is the only kōhanga reo in this area. The previous ERO report 2016 raised concerns around te reo Māori, managing children’s behaviour, extending children’s learning, organising and managing the learning programme, whānau management, internal evaluation, appraisal and health & safety of children.
Children are well supported to learn te reo Maori. The kuia provides ongoing support for children and whānau. Kaimahi use a variety of strategies for children to express themselves in te reo Māori. Older children confidently answer simple questions, while the younger children mimic words and simple phrases. Babies use body language to convey messages and display their understanding of the language. Kaimahi praise children’s efforts for using te reo Māori. Waiata is often used to develop children‘s confidence use the language. Children are developing as speakers of te reo Māori.
Children’s interactions with others are positive. Kaimahi promote the values of aroha, manaaki and āwhina in the learning programme. They have established routines and expectations related to behaviour during the formal time of the programme. Kaimahi encourage children to manage aspects of their care, sleep and eating according to their needs. They provide opportunities for children to lead specific parts of the daily programme. Activities are organised to foster meaningful interactions as tuakana, teina. Children are respectful and caring of others.
Children’s learning needs guide programme planning. The planning includes a yearly overview which is linked to the monthly plan. Kaimahi use the seasons and atua Māori to support kaupapa ako. Learning objectives, resources, language vocabulary are identified for separate age groups. Kaimahi have in place processes to assess children’s progress related to the learning programme. Children’s learning is well monitored. Children enjoy learning that is well planned and monitored.
The whānau have systems in place to manage the operations of the kōhanga reo. They work collectively to implement and monitor processes to keep informed about personnel, finance and children’s learning. Whānau actively participate in monthly meetings to share issues or concerns that may impact on kōhanga reo developments. Whānau regularly discuss health and safety policies and procedures. Children benefit from whānau decisions that focus on their learning and wellbeing.
The whānau have in place strategic goals, however these are not regularly monitored. It is time for whānau to put in to place an action plan that is going to support them to meet their long term priorities. Whānau acknowledge the benefit of monitoring and reporting on strategic progress and growing their capability to manage kōhanga reo operations.
The learning programme is not regularly evaluated. Kaimahi and whānau acknowledge the benefit of regular meetings to monitor the quality of the learning programme. Whānau members with skills and experience are encouraged to support kaimahi with programme evaluation to improve their practices.
ERO and the kōhanga reo whānau developed the following recommendations:
The next ERO evaluation of Te Kōhanga Reo o Titahi Bay will be in three years.
