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 whānau, ngā hapū, me ngā iwi.
E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Tūmanako Rāwhiti ki Clifton, ki Waihōpai. Nō nā noa nei te tatauranga tamariki ki te kōhanga reo i piki ake ai, nā te hokinga mai o ētahi whānau whakapūmau ki te kāinga nei. He whānau hou anō hoki i te kōhanga reo, ā, kua whai wāhi atu ētahi ki ngā whakangungu me ngā huarahi pou ārahi e hāpai ana i ngā whakahaeretanga o te kōhanga reo. Ko tō te whānau wawata kia tūhono atu ā rātou mokopuna ki ō rātou tuakiri, ki tō rātou reo, me ngā tikanga Māori.
E whakawhanake ana ngā mokopuna i tō rātou māramatanga ki tō rātou tuakiri, nā te ako mā te tangongitanga o ngā wheako reo Māori.
Ka tūhono ngā mokopuna ki te reo Māori, ki te ao Māori, me ngā tikanga Māori mā te hōtaka o ia rā. Ko te reo Māori te reo whakaako me te reo whakawhitiwhiti kōrero. E whakapūmau ana ngā mihimihi me ngā pepeha i te ako a ngā mokopuna i a rātou anō me tō rātou tūrangawaewae. He whai wāhitanga mō ngā mokopuna katoa ki te tū me te whakahua ake i ō rātou pepeha. Ka whakawhānuihia ngā akoranga a ngā tuākana mā te whakahua ake i ō rātou whakapapa, ā, ka whāngai kupu ki ngā tēina, ka āwhinatia hoki tā rātou whakapuaki pepeha e ngā kaimahi. Ka whakaatu ngā pēpi me ngā tēina i tā rātou whai wāhi atu me tō rātou māramatanga ki te reo Māori mā ā rātou tohu ā-ringa, mā te āhua hoki o ō rātou kanohi, me te whakaputa i ngā oro. Ko ngā kaupapa, ngā huihuinga, ngā ariā me ngā pūrākau, e whakapūmau ana i ngā hononga o ngā mokopuna ki te hapori me te ao Māori. Ka tū pakari, ka tū takitahi ētahi o ngā mokopuna ki te ārahi i ngā karakia, ngā waiata, me ētahi wāhanga o te wā whāriki. Ka kōkiri ngā kaiako i tētahi taiao papai e ahu mai ana i te whanaungatanga me te aroha. He whakawhirinakitanga tauutuutu ō ngā hononga e whakamanahia ana, ā, he atawhai, he aroha hoki ō te whakawhanaungatanga o ngā mokopuna ki ō rātou hoa me ngā pakeke e noho pā tata mai ana. Ka hāpai ngā kaiako i ngā mokopuna mā te whakarite i ngā mahinga me ngā ritenga, ā, ka whakatakotohia e rātou tētahi wāhi e āhuru ana i te whakamātau a ngā mokopuna i ngā tūāhuatanga hou. Ka kitea ki ngā mokopuna e manaakitia ana, e arohaina ana hoki rātou, ā, e noho haumaru ana i roto i ā rātou akoranga.
Kei te riterite ngā mahi e pā ana ki te whakamahere me te aromatawai. Ka whakamahere ngātahi, he matawhānui hoki, ā, ka kitea ngā hononga ki Te Whāriki a Te Kōhanga Reo me Te Korowai. Kei ngā mahere ngā kiko kōrero e pā ana ki ngā ngākau nuitanga me ngā matea o ngā mokopuna, me ngā haerenga, ngā pūrākau, ngā whakataukī, ngā waiata, me ngā oriori e whai pānga ana ki ngā kaupapa ako i whakamaheretia ai. Ka whai ngā kaimahi i ngā huarahi ōpaki me ngā huarahi ōkawa ki te whakatakoto haere i te ahu whakamua a ngā mokopuna. Kei ngā kōnae ako ngā kohinga o ngā mahi toi a ngā mokopuna, ngā whakaahua me ngā kōrerorero, me ngā kitenga a ngā kaimahi e pā ana ki te mātai mokopuna. Whakapuakihia ai aua tuhinga ki ngā whānau i ia te wā. Ka whakapuaki i ngā mōhiohio mātuatua, pērā i te whakatutukitanga o ngā poutama, i te ahu whakamua o te reo Māori, tae atu hoki ki ngā akoranga hou, ngā pūkenga hou, me ngā wheako hou. Ka taea e ngā whānau te whakapā atu ki ngā mōhiohio aromatawai mōhiohio mā tētahi pae ā-ipurangi. Ka whai wāhi nui ngā mokopuna ki ngā akoranga e whai pānga ana ki ō rātou ngākau nuitanga, ā, e whakatutuki ana i ō rātou matea.
E whakawhanake ana ngā whānau i tō rātou māramatanga ki ngā tūranga whakahaere me ngā kawenga mahi. Ko te manaakitanga me te whakawhirinakitanga o ngā hononga e whakapūmau ana i te haumaru me te āhurutanga o te wāhi, mō te katoa. E whakamanahia ana ngā whakapuakitanga a te whānau ki ngā whakataunga, ā, e kōkirihia ana ki ngā whakawhitinga kōrero tōtika, kōrero pono hoki, ā, ka pūrongohia ki ngā hui ā-whānau. Kua whakaūngia e ngā mema pūmau o te whānau ngā pūnaha me ngā tukanga e pā ana ki ngā pūtea, ngā kaimahi, me ngā takohanga e pā ana ki ngā kaupapa here. Ka tautuhia te ako ngaio me te whakawhanaketanga ngaio o ngā kaimahi mā te tukanga arohaehae, ā, ka whakarato Te Poari Matua o Ngā Kōhanga Reo i ngā whai wāhitanga whakangungu. E ākina ana te kapo atu a ngā whānau i ngā whai wāhitanga ki te whakawhanake i te reo Māori. Ka aro nui ki te ako a ngā mokopuna, ki tō rātou waiora hoki mā roto mai i ngā mahi whakahaere a te whānau.
Me whakapakari i ngā pūnaha aromātai o roto. Me titiro ki ētahi o ngā tuhinga e pā ana ki te hauora me te haumaru. Ka hāngai tēnā ki te whakatutukitanga o ngā rēhita e pā ana ki te taha rongoā, ki ngā aituā me ngā maiki, me ngā tūāhuatanga mōrearea i ia te wā, me te tuhi haere hoki i kōrero urupare a ngā whānau i ngā wā e tika ana. Ka whakatairangatia te waiora o ngā mokopuna i te wā e tika ana ngā pūnaha.
Me whakaōkawa i te aromātai hōtaka. Ahakoa hui ai ngā kaimahi i ia te wā ki te whakawhiti kōrero mō tēnā e whai hua ana, me ngā tūāhuatanga hei whakapai ake, e tika ana kia tuhia aua whakawhitinga kōrero, ā, me aroturuki i ngā whakarerekētanga me ngā whakapaitanga ki te hōtaka akoranga. Ka whai hua ngā mokopuna i te wā e tuhia ana, e aroturukitia ana hoki te aromātai hōtaka.
Me whakapakari ake i te māramatanga o ngā kaimahi me te whānau ki ā rātou takohanga e pā ana ki te Children's Act 2014. E mōhio ana te whānau, ā, e whakatau ana hoki Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga, kua tae ki te wā kia toro atu ki ētahi atu whakangungu e hāpai ake ai i te māramatanga ki te ture. Ka whakatairangatia te haumaru o ngā mokopuna i te wā he māramatanga ngātahi ki ngā takohanga i te ture.
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 mahi tonu te whānau ki te taha o Te Poari Matua o Ngā Kōhanga Reo ki te whakaraupapa me te whakatutuki i ngā take i tautuhia ai ki tēnei pūrongo.

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 Tūmanako Rāwhiti is in Clifton, Invercargill. The kōhanga reo roll has increased in recent times with legacy whānau returning home. There are also new whānau and some are participating in training and mentoring opportunities to support kōhanga reo operations. Whānau aspire for their mokopuna to connect to their identity, te reo and tikanga Māori.
Mokopuna are developing their understanding of their identity by learning through a range of te reo Māori experiences.
Mokopuna connect to te reo Māori, te ao Māori and tikanga Māori through the daily programme. Te reo Māori is the language of instruction and interaction. Mihimihi and pepeha reinforce mokopuna learning about who they are and where they are from. All mokopuna have opportunities to stand and share their pepeha. Tuākana are extended by including their whakapapa and tēina are prompted and helped by kaimahi to share their pepeha. Pēpi and tēina use hand actions, facial expressions and sounds to express their engagement and understanding of te reo Māori. Kaupapa, events, themes and pūrakau reinforce mokopuna connections to the hāpori and te ao Māori. Some mokopuna independently lead karakia, waiata and elements of te wā whāriki with confidence. Kaiako facilitate a positive environment that is based on whanaungatanga and aroha. Relationships are reciprocally trusting and valued and mokopuna have kind and loving relationships with their friends, and adults around them. Kaiako support mokopuna by establishing routines and rituals and they provide a safe place for mokopuna to try new things. Mokopuna show they are cared for, loved and safe in their learning.
Planning and assessment practices are consistent. Planning is collaborative, comprehensive and shows links to Te Whāriki ā Te Kōhanga Reo and Te Korowai. Mahere provide the details of planning for mokopuna interests and needs, haerenga, pūrākau, whakataukī, waiata and oriori relative to planned learning kaupapa. Kaimahi have informal and formal methods to record mokopuna progress. Kōnae ako contain a collection of mokopuna artworks, annotated photos and kaimahi observations of mātai mokopuna. These are shared with whānau regularly. Important information shared includes achievement of milestones, te reo Māori progressions and new learning, skills and experiences. Whānau can access aromatawai information via an online platform. Mokopuna enjoy learning that is relevant to their interests and meets their needs.
Whānau are developing their understanding of whakahaere roles and responsibilities. Caring and trusting relationships provides a safe and homely environment for all. Whānau contributions to decision making are valued and facilitated by open, honest communications and reporting at hui whānau. Systems and processes for finances, staffing and policy obligations have been maintained by long standing whānau members. Kaimahi professional learning and development is identified through the appraisal process and provided for by Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust training opportunities. Whānau are encouraged to take advantage of the opportunities to develop te reo Māori. Mokopuna learning and welfare is prioritised by whānau whakahaere practices.
Internal evaluation systems need strengthening. Some health and safety documentation need attention. This includes completing medical, accident, incident and hazard registers regularly and recording whānau acknowledgement when necessary. Mokopuna wellbeing is enhanced when systems are reliable.
Programme evaluation needs formalising. While kaimahi meet regularly and discuss what is working and improvements to be made, there is a need to record these conversations and monitor changes and improvements made to the learning programme. Mokopuna benefit when programme evaluation is recorded and monitored.
Kaimahi and whānau understanding of their obligations to the Children’s Act 2014 requires strengthening. Whānau acknowledge and ERO agrees, that it is time to seek more training to support understanding of the Act. Mokopuna safety is promoted when there is collective understanding of regulatory obligations.
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.
To meet compliance requirements they must:
ensure a process for the prevention of child abuse is implemented, and a procedure for responding to suspected child abuse is followed when required
[Regulation 46 Education (Early Childhood Services) Regulations 2008; HS31 Licensing Criteria for Kōhanga Reo affiliated with Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust 2008].
ERO recommend that whānau continue to work with Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust to prioritise and address the concerns identified in this report.

Kua mahi ngātahi Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga, ngā whānau, ngā kaiārahi, me ngā hapori ki te whakatakoto i ngā tirohanga aromātai e whai wāhi nui ai ki te hāpai i ngā whakapaitanga, ki te tautuhi i te ahu whakamua, ā, ki te whakapakari ake hoki i te āheinga ki te aromātai.
E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Tūmanako Rāwhiti ki te hapori o Clifton, ki Waihōpai. Ka whakapuakihia e te whānau tō rātou tino ngākau nui ngātahi ki te poipoi i te reo Māori mō ngā mokopuna me te whānau. Kāhore he kaiwhakahaere tari, ā, nā taua tūāhuatanga, he uaua ki te whānau te whakapūmau tonu, te whakatutuki haere tonu i ngā pūnaha me ngā tukanga o te kōhanga reo, me te whakatutuki i ngā tikanga e pā ana ki ngā wāhanga matua o ngā whakaritenga me ngā whakahaeretanga.
Me whakapakari ake i ngā mahi whakahaere me ngā mahi whakatau hoki a te whānau, hei āta whakatutuki i ngā tino painga mō ngā mokopuna.
E hāpaitia ana te ako a ngā mokopuna i te reo Māori. Ka whakamahi ngā kaimahi i te tangongitanga o ngā rautaki e whai pūtake ana, pērā i te waiata, te karakia, te patapatai, me te taki i ō rātou pepeha. He pārekareka ki ngā mokopuna te ako, ā, he pai tā rātou hono atu ki ētahi atu. E tīmata ana tō rātou reo Māori ki te puāwai mai.
Ahakoa kua whakatakotohia ngā tukanga e pā ana ki te whakamahere me te aromatawai, me aromātai ēnei i ia te wā mā te haere tonutanga o ngā mahi aromātai. Ka whai wāhi atu taua āhuatanga ki te whakamōhio i ngā kaimahi, mō ngā āhuatanga o te hōtaka akoranga e whai hua ana me ngā whakaritenga anō hoki ka whai ake ki te whakapai tonu i ngā putanga ki ngā mokopuna.
Me titiro wawe ki ngā mahi whakahaere a te whānau ki te kōhanga reo. He iti noa te whai wāhi atu a te whānau, hei hāpai i te ako a ngā mokopuna, me tō rātou noho haumaru, tō rātou waiora hoki. Kāhore anō kia whakakīia ngā tūranga whakahaere maha o te whānau. Kāhore he ārahitanga hei hautū i ngā mahi whakahaere a te whānau. Kei te whakakīia ngā tūranga o te kaiwhakahaere tari me te hekeretari e te kaiako me ngā kaimahi ā-rohe o te Poari Matua o Ngā Kōhanga Reo.
Me whakawhanake ake i te aromātai o roto. Kāhore he mahere rautaki e tāutu ana i ngā whāinga pae tawhiti a te whānau mō ngā mokopuna ki te kōhanga reo. Kua whakaritea tētahi mahere ā-tau hei ārahi i te whakahaeretanga o ngā whakaritenga ki te kōhanga reo. He iti noa te māramatanga o ngā kaimahi ki te pūtake o taua mahere ā-tau. Tū ai ngā akoako hōneatanga o te ahi me te rū whenua i ia te wā. Me whakapakari ake i te tuhi haere me te pūrongo i aua wā.
I te wā o te aromātai, i tirohia e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga ngā pūnaha ki te whakahaere i ngā wāhanga e whai ake nei:
Kia tutuki i te whānau ngā herenga ā-ture katoa, me tahuri rātou ki te:
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, whānau, leaders and communities provide evaluation insights that foster improvement, identify progress and build evaluation capability.
Te Kōhanga Reo o Tūmanako Rāwhiti is located in Clifton, Invercargill. Whānau articulate a strong and collective commitment to fostering te reo Māori for mokopuna and whānau. In the absence of a designated administrator, whānau have found difficulty keeping kōhanga systems and processes up to date, and in meeting key operation and management requirements.
Whānau management and decision-making needs strengthening to ensure positive outcomes for mokopuna.
Mokopuna are supported to learn te reo Māori. Kaimahi use a variety of meaningful strategies, such as waiata, karakia, questions and reciting their pepehā. Mokopuna enjoy learning and engage well with other. They are emerging as early speakers of te reo Māori.
While planning and assessment processes are in place, these need to be regularly evaluated through ongoing evaluation. This will help inform kaimahi about the strengths of the learning programme and the next steps for improving outcomes for mokopuna.
Whānau whakahaere of the kōhanga requires urgent attention. There is a lack of whānau involvement to support mokopuna learning, safety and wellbeing. Many whānau roles are vacant. There is a lack of leadership to guide whānau management. The kaiwhakahaere and secretary roles are shared between the kaiako and District Kaupapa Kaimahi.
Internal evaluation requires development. There is no strategic plan identifying the long-term goals of whānau for mokopuna at the kōhanga reo. An annual plan is in place that guides management of kōhanga reo operations. Kaimahi have limited understanding about its purpose. Fire and earthquake drills are conducted regularly. Improved recording and reporting of these is needed.
During the evaluation, ERO looked at systems for managing the following areas:
To meet compliance requirements, the whānau must:
ERO and the kōhanga reo whānau developed the following recommendation:

E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Tūmanako Rāwhiti ki Waihōpai. He kaha te aronga ngātahi ki te poipoi i te reo Māori hei painga mō ngā tamariki me te whānau. Nā te kore whai wāhi mai o tētahi tangata e mātau ana ki ngā mahi hei kaiwhakahaere tari, he uaua ki te whānau ngā mahi ki te whakahāngai i ngā pūnaha me ngā tukanga ki te wā, me te whakatutuki i ngā whakaritenga matua e pā ana ki te whakahaeretanga o te kōhanga reo.
He ngākau titikaha ō ngā tamariki ki te whiriwhiri me te whakatau whakaritenga i roto i ā rātou tākaro me ā rātou akoranga.
E puāwai mai ana te whanaungatanga ki ngā taunekeneke me ngā akoranga i te ao ako o ngā tamariki. Ka whakatauira te whānau i ngā taunekeneke papai i a rātou e tūhonohono ana ki ētahi atu. He pai te whakawhanaungatanga o ngā tamariki tuākana ki ngā tēina. He māhorahora te whakauru mai i ngā pēpi ki ngā taumahi, ki te taha tonu o ō rātou tuākana. Ka taea e ngā tamariki ngā taumahi ako me ngā rauemi te tīpako, i runga anō i te āhua o ō rātou ngākau nuitanga. Ka āta whakamahara ngā kaimahi ki ngā tamariki i te āhua o te whanonga e tika ana. Ka ū pūmau ki aua tūmanako, ā, he kaha ngā tamariki ki te tākaro ngātahi. Kei te tūmāia, kei te harikoa, kei te mauritau hoki ngā tamariki ki te kōhanga reo.
E tino hāpaitia ana te ako a ngā tamariki i te reo Māori. Ka aro matua ki te ako a ngā tamariki me te whānau i te reo Māori. Ka whakamahere ngā kaimahi i ngā taumahi e whakapakari ai i te mōhiotanga me ngā pūkenga o ngā tamariki ki te reo. Ka aroturukitia, ka pūrongotia hoki te ahu whakamua o te reo Māori o ngā tamariki. Ka tūmāia, ka tū takitahi hoki ngā tamariki tuākana ki te taki i ō rātou pepeha. E tino hāpaitia ana ngā tamariki tēina e ngā kaimahi, kia ako, kia taki anō hoki rātou i ō rātou whakapapa. Ka whakautu kōrero ētahi o ngā tamariki mā te kupu kotahi, mā ngā rerenga kōrero poto rānei o te reo Māori. Kei te mārama ngā tamariki i tēnā e kōrerohia ana, ā, he tika te āhua o tā rātou aro atu ki ngā kōrero. E whanake ana ngā tamariki ki te kōrero i te reo Māori.
He tukanga ā ngā kaimahi mō te whakamahere i te hōtaka me te aromatawai i te ako a ngā tamariki. He aronga ngātahi ki te whakamahere i te hōtaka, ā, ka whai wāhi mai ngā mema o te whānau. He mārama ngā hononga o ngā mahere ki Te Whāriki me Ngā Taumata Whakahirahira, ā, he aronga pū hoki ki te reo Māori. Kei ngā pūkete a ngā tamariki, ko ngā rārangi arowhai o Mātai Tamaiti, ko ngā tauira o ā rātou mahi toi, ā, ko ō rātou pepeha, ō rātou whakapapa hoki. Ka tuhi ngā kaimahi i ngā kupu me ngā kīanga e kōrerohia ai e ngā tamariki. Ka whakamōhiotia te whānau ki tēnā e ākona ana e ngā tamariki, ā, ki te āhua anō hoki o tā rātou ahu whakamua.
Me whai i te tautoko o waho, hei hāpai i te whakahaeretanga a te whānau i te kōhanga reo. Kāhore te whānau e mārama pū ana i ō rātou tūranga me ā rātou kawenga, me ngā huarahi e tika ana ki te whakahaere i ngā whakaritenga o tō rātou kōhanga reo kia whai hua ai. Kāhore he kaiwhakahaere tari ukiuki hei kōkiri i te whakahaeretanga o te kōhanga reo. He maha ngā tūmomo tino mahi kāhore e whakatutukihia ana kia whai hua ai, i roto anō hoki i te wā e tika ana. Nā tēnei, he whāiti rawa ngā mahi arotake whaiaro e aroturuki ana i ngā whakahaeretanga ki te kōhanga reo.
Kāhore te aromātai hōtaka e āta māramahia ana, e āta whakatinanahia ana rānei. Me hui tahi ngā kaimahi i ia te wā ki te whakawhiti kōrero mō ngā āhuatanga o te hōtaka akoranga e whai hua ana, ngā āhuatanga anō hoki hei whakapai ake, tae atu hoki ki ngā āhuatanga hei whakarerekē. Me tuhi anō hoki i ngā whakataunga e pā ana ki aua whakarerekētanga, kia taea ai e ngā kaimahi te aromātai te whai huatanga o aua whakarerekētanga ki te hāpai ake i te hōtaka akoranga mā ngā tamariki.
Me arotake te tūtohinga, ā, me whakahou ake hoki ki te wā. Ko te tikanga, mā te tukanga ki te arotake i te tūtohinga, ka puta ki te whānau ngā aratohu mārama mō te kaupapa o te kōhanga reo, me te huarahi e tika ana ki te whakahaere i te whakatutukitanga o ngā mahi matua.
Kua roa rawa te arotakenga me te whakahouanga o ngā kaupapa here me ngā tukanga e noho tāwēwē ana. Me āta whakarite anō hoki te whānau i te whakahāngaitanga o ngā kaupapa here me ngā tukanga o te hauora me te haumaru ki ngā herenga ā-ture me ngā whakaritenga o tēnei wā, tae atu hoki ki ērā o Te Ture Oranga Tamariki o 2014.
Kāhore he mahere rautaki ā te kōhanga reo, hei ārahi i te whānau ki te whakatutuki i ā rātou kaupapa matua o te paetawhiti, ā, hei āta whakarite hoki i te tū pakari tonu o tō rātou kōhanga reo mō meāke nei. Kāhore he mahere ā-tau hei hāpai i te whānau me ngā kaimahi ki te āta whakarite i te whakatutukitanga o te katoa o ngā mahi whakahaere matua, i roto anō hoki i te wā e tika ana.
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:

Te Kōhanga Reo o Tūmanako Rāwhiti is in Invercargill. There is a strong collective commitment to fostering te reo Māori for children and whānau. In the absence of a capable administrator, the whānau are experiencing difficulty in keeping systems and processes up to date and meeting key requirements relating to kōhanga reo operations and management.
Children confidently make choices and decisions in their play and their learning.
Children learn in an environment where whanaungatanga is evident in interactions and learning. The whānau model positive interactions in their relationships with others. Older children relate well to the younger children. Babies are naturally included in activities alongside their tuākana. Children can choose learning activities and resources that interest them. Kaimahi gently remind children about acceptable behaviour. These expectations are maintained and children play well together. Children are confident, happy and settled in the kōhanga reo.
Children are well supported to learn te reo Māori. High priority is given to children and whānau learning te reo Māori. Kaimahi plan activities to build children’s language knowledge and skills. Children’s progress in te reo Māori is monitored and reported. Older children confidently and independently recite their pepeha. Younger children are well supported by kaimahi to learn and recite their whakapapa. Some children respond in te reo Māori using single words or short sentences. Children understand what is being said and respond accordingly. Children are developing as speakers of te reo Māori.
Kaimahi have processes in place for programme planning and assessing children’s learning. There is a collaborative approach to programme planning which includes whānau members. There are clear links in planning to Te Whāriki and Ngā Taumata Whakahirahira, and a specific focus on te reo Māori. Assessment profiles for children include Mātai Tamaiti checklists, samples of their artwork, their pepeha and whakapapa. Kaimahi record words and phrases that are spoken by children. The whānau have information about what children are learning and how they are progressing.
Whānau management of the kōhanga reo requires external support. The whānau do not fully understand their roles and responsibilities, and what is required to effectively manage the operations of their kōhanga reo. The kōhanga reo is also operating without a full-time administrator. There are a number of important tasks that are not managed in a timely and efficient way. Consequently, self-review practices to monitor kōhanga reo operations are limited.
Programme evaluation is not well understood or implemented. Kaimahi must meet regularly to discuss what is working well with the learning programme, what can be improved and what changes will be made. Decisions about these changes should be recorded so that kaimahi can evaluate how effectively the changes have been in improving the learning programme for children.
The charter must be reviewed and updated. The process of reviewing the charter should provide whānau with clear guidelines about the kaupapa of the kōhanga reo and what is required to manage the administration of key tasks.
Policies and procedures are well overdue to be reviewed and updated. The whānau must also ensure that health and safety policies and procedures are aligned to current legislation and requirements, including the Children’s Act 2014.
There is no strategic plan for the kōhanga reo to guide the whānau towards achieving their long-term priorities and ensuring the future of their kōhanga reo is secure. There is no annual plan to support whānau and kaimahi to ensure all key operational tasks are met in a timely manner.
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.
In order for the kōhanga reo whānau to meet compliance requirements, they need to:
evaluate the Te Kōhanga Reo curriculum to provide positive learning experiences for children
[Regulations 43 (Early Childhood Services) Regulations 2008; C1-13 Licensing Criteria for Kōhanga Reo affiliated with Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust 2008]
ERO and the Kōhanga Reo whānau developed the following recommendation:
The next ERO evaluation of Te Kōhanga Reo o Tūmanako Rāwhiti will be within two years.
