E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Ākina Te Reo ki Tūrangi. Ka ngākau nuitia e ngā whānau tokomaha ki tēnei kōhanga reo nā ngā whakareretanga iho i waiho ai e te kuia, nāna te kōhanga reo nei i tīmata. Ka poipoia e te whānau ngā hononga ki te marae, ki te hapū, me te iwi, ā, ka whakatairanga rātou i ngā tikanga me ngā hītori o Ngāti Tūwharetoa.
Ka kitea ki ngā mokopuna tō rātou matangareka ki te ako.
E ako ana ngā mokopuna ki tētahi taiao e āta poipoi ana i tō rātou taha pākiki. E atawhaitia ana ngā mokopuna e ngā kaiako e tino mōhio ana ki a rātou. Ka whai wāhi mātātoa rātou ki ā rātou mahi, ā, he pai tā rātou taunekeneke ki te taha o ngā kaimahi me ō rātou hoa. Kei te harikoa ngā mokopuna, ā, ka ngākau nui ki te whai wāhi atu ki ngā tūmomo taumahi. Kua āta whakaritea ngā mahinga. Ka ako ngā mokopuna i ō rātou hononga ki a Ngāti Tūwharetoa mā ngā waiata, mā ngā haka, me ngā karakia. Ka ngākau nui ngā mokopuna ki te ako takitahi, me te ako hoki ki te taha o ō rātou hoa i ngā wā e tika ana.
Ka whakaū ngā kaimahi kia reo Māori anake te taiao ako. Ka whakatauirahia ngā hanganga reo mā te tāruarua, ā, e ākina ana te whai atu a ngā mokopuna. He ngākau titikaha ō ngā mokopuna ki te whai atu i ngā kupu e whāngaihia ana e ngā kaiako, ā, ka akiaki, ka whakamihi, ka poipoi hoki ngā kaiako i tō rātou tū motuhake. Ka whakaratohia ngā whai wāhitanga mō ngā mokopuna ki te ārahi i te hōtaka akoranga, ā, he mahi māoriori kē tēnā ki ngā mokopuna tuākana. E whanake ana te tīmatanga o ngā mokopuna ki te kōrero i te reo Māori.
Kua āta whakamaheretia ngā hōtaka akoranga, ā, ka hono pū ki ngā whāinga me ngā wawata o te whānau. He kaupapa ā-tau, ā-wāhanga, ā-marama, ā-wiki hoki kei ngā mahere, ā, kua whakaraupapahia hoki ngā putanga ako e hiahiatia ana mō ngā mokopuna. E hono ana ngā mahere ki Te Whāriki a Te Kōhanga Reo me Te Ara Tūāpae. Ka hono pū te hōtaka akoranga ki te taiao māoriori me Ngāti Tūwharetoa. Ko te ako a ngā mokopuna kei te pūtake o ngā mahere.
Ka whakapau kaha te whānau ki te whakahaere i ētahi wāhanga o ngā whakaritenga. Tū ai ngā hui i ia te wā ki te whakawhiti kōrero mō ngā take e pā ana ki ngā mahi whakahaere i te kōhanga reo. Ka tuhia, ka whakapuakihia aua hui ki te taha o te whānau. Ko Te Ara Tūāpae te mahere rautaki e whakatakoto ana i te tirohanga me ngā wawata o te whānau mō ngā mokopuna. Ko ētahi o ngā kaupapa matua, ko te whakatupu ake i te reo Māori me te whakamana i ngā mokopuna me te whānau.
Kāhore anō te arotake whaiaro kia whakaritea. Nā tēnā, kua ara ake ētahi wāhanga whakahaere hei whakapai ake. Ka whai wāhi ki aua wāhanga, ko ngā tūāhuatanga e whai ake nei, arā:
Whai muri i te arotakenga ki te kōhanga reo, he maha ngā whakaritenga matua kua whakatutuki kētia e te whānau. Ka hāngai ēnei ki:
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:
Kia tutuki i te whānau ngā herenga ā-ture, me tahuri rātou ki te:
E taunaki ana Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga me te whānau o te kōhanga reo, kia whakatutukihia ngā whakaritenga matua katoa e tika ana kia whai ake, me ngā wāhanga hoki kāhore e tutuki ana e ai ki te ture, mā te tautoko o te kaupapa kaimahi ā-rohe me te tari ā-rohe o Te Poari Matua o Ngā Kōhanga Reo.

Te Kōhanga Reo o Ākina Te Reo is in Tūrangi. The legacy of the founding kuia attracts many whānau back to the kōhanga reo. Connections to local marae, hapū and iwi are fostered by whānau, who promote the tikanga and hītori of Ngāti Tūwharetoa.
Mokopuna demonstrate an enthusiasm for learning.
Mokopuna learn in an environment that nurtures their curiosity well. Mokopuna are cared for by kaiako who know them very well. They actively engage in their mahi and interact positively with kaimahi and peers. Mokopuna are happy and enjoy participating in various activities. Routines are well established. Mokopuna learn about their connections to Ngāti Tūwharetoa through waiata, haka and karakia. Mokopuna enjoy learning alone and alongside their peers when appropriate.
Kaimahi maintain a te reo Māori only, language environment. Language structures are modelled through repetition and mokopuna are encouraged to follow these. Mokopuna are confident to follow prompts from kaiako, who encourage, praise, and nurture their independence. They are provided opportunities to lead the learning programme which comes naturally to the older mokopuna. Mokopuna are developing as early speakers of te reo Māori.
The learning programmes are well planned, and clearly links to the goals and aspirations of the whānau. Planning includes year, term, monthly and weekly kaupapa with desired learning outcomes for mokopuna. Planning links to Te Whāriki ā Te Kōhanga Reo and Te Ara Tūāpae. The learning programme makes clear connections to the local natural environment and Ngāti Tūwharetoa. Mokopuna learning is at the centre of planning.
Whānau manage some aspects of the operations to the best of their ability. Regular hui are held to discuss issues related to kōhanga reo business. These hui are recorded and shared with whānau. The strategic plan, Te Ara Tūāpae includes the vision and aspirations whānau hold for mokopuna. Key priorities include growing te reo Māori and empowering mokopuna and whānau.
Self-review has not yet been established. This has resulted in areas of operations that require improvements. These include the following:
Since the onsite review, whānau have addressed several of the key next steps. These include:
During the evaluation, ERO looked at systems for managing the following areas:

E mahi ngātahi ana Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga me Ngā Kura ā-Iwi o Aotearoa ki te kapo atu mā te kaupapa nei a Whāia ngā ara painga kia angitu ai, i te huarahi mātauranga o ngā ākonga i tīmata ai ki te kōhanga reo, ā, i poipoia tonuhia ki te mātauranga o Ngā Kura ā-Iwi.
E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Ākina Te Reo ki Tūrangi, he āhua kotahi kiromita atu i Te Kura o Hīrangi. Kua raihanatia te kōhanga reo nei mō ngā mokopuna e rua tau ki te ono tau te pakeke. Ko Te Kura o Hīrangi te huarahi ka whāia e te nuinga o ngā mokopuna whai muri i te kōhanga reo, otirā, he tino kaha te hononga o te kōhanga reo ki te kura, ā, kua āta whakaritea kia taetae atu ngā mokopuna ki te kura mō te rā kotahi o ia wiki mō ngā marama e whā - koni atu rānei - i mua i tā rātou tīmatanga tūturu ki te kura.
He ruarua kupu wēnei e whakaatu atu ai i ngā tini āhuatanga e hua mai ana i roto i ngā pātū akomanga o te kura e kōrerohia nei, arā, ko Te Kura o Hīrangi. He nui ngā hua ki tōku whānau i roto i ngā tau, engari mōku ake karekau he hua i tua atu i te hariharinga i ngā mokopuna ki ngā whenua i nohoia ai e wō tātau tīpuna me te whakaako i a rātau ki ngā niao whānui o ngā pito whenua taurikura ki a Tūwharetoa e mōhio ai rātau ki tō rātau taha Tūwharetoa, nō te whenua te reo, nō te awa te reo, nō te maunga, nō te ngahere. Ko te akomanga tūturu a te Māori, ko te taiao! Koia te painga a Te Kura o Hīrangi.
I tīmata ai tā mātou whai i te huarahi Māori i te kōhanga reo. I te ngāwari noa te whakawhiti i te reanga ako o ngā taitamariki ki te reanga ako o ngā taiohi, ā, tae rawa atu ki te wharekura.
Koia rā te wā i āta whakapuaki mai taku aronga nui ki te haka me te ao waiata, i taku mōhio tonu koia rā te huarahi mōku.
He kāinga rua. He nui tōku aroha mō te kura, mō tōku whānau tonu.
E whāngai ana ahau i ngā mātāpono o te kura nei ki aku tamariki. He tino Māori nei te kura. Kua āta whakatōngia ngā tikanga marae.

The Education Review Office (ERO) and Ngā Kura ā-Iwi are working together to capture the journey of learners beginning with kōhanga reo, who have experienced Ngā Kura ā-Iwi education, Whaia nga ara painga kia angitu ai.
Te Kōhanga o Ākina Te Reo is in Tūrangi, approximately one kilometre from Te Kura o Hīrangi. This Te Kōhanga Reo is licensed for 2-6 year old mokopuna. Te Kura o Hīrangi is the preferred option for graduates nonetheless the kōhanga has an excellent working relationship with the kura, making sure that their graduating mokopuna attend the kura one day per week approximately four months before they are to start kura.
He ruarua kupu wēnei e whakaatu atu ai i ngā tini āhuatanga e hua mai ana i roto i ngā pātū akomanga o te kura e kōrerohia nei, arā, ko Te Kura o Hīrangi.

Ko te akomanga tūturu a te Māori, ko te taiao! Koia te painga a Te Kura o Hīrangi.
It started from kōhanga reo, our whole Māori journey.
It was quite a breeze to go from taitamariki into taiohi and into wharekura.
That’s where the haka and music side of me started rolling and that’s kind of where I found out where I wanted to be, what I wanted to do.
It’s another home.
I love that kura, it’s with my whānau.
I feed the principles of this kura to these kids.
It was very Māori. Tikanga marae was embedded.

Ka whakahaeretia tētahi arotake tāpiri i runga o te whakataunga ā te Kaitiriwā Toihau 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 Ākina Te Reo ki Tūrangi. Ka whakarato te whānau i tētahi hōtaka akoranga mā ngā tamariki anake kua pakeke ake i te rua o ngā tau.
Mai i te pūrongo o mua a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga, i te tau 2014, kua ahu whakamua te whānau me ngā kaimahi ki te whakatutuki i ngā take i tāutuhia ai i roto i ngā mahere me te aromātai.
I tāutu te pūrongo a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i te tau 2014, kia whai whakaaro ngā kaiako ki ngā huarahi ka whakapakari ake i te māia ō ngā tamariki ki te whakamahi i te reo Māori ki te taha o ētahi atu i roto i te hōtaka o ia rā.
Ka rongo ngā tamariki i te reo Māori, ā, ka kōrero hoki rātou i te reo ki ētahi atu. He mātātoa te whai wāhi atu a ngā kaimahi ki ngā whakawhitinga kōrero ki te taha o ngā tamariki, hei whakawhanake, hei whakawhānui anō hoki i te reo. Nā ngā taumahi ōkawa me ngā taumahi ōpaki, i rongo ai ngā tamariki i ngā momo reo ki ngā tūmomo horopaki whānui. Ka tākaro ngā kaimahi i ētahi kēmu ki te taha o ngā tamariki, kia ngahau ai te ako i te reo Māori. Ko te patapatai, te akiaki, me te whakatauira e whakatairanga ana i ngā tamariki ki te kōrero me te whakautu mā te reo Māori. Ka hāpai ngā kaimahi i ngā tamariki ki te taki i ngā karakia, ngā hīmene, me ngā waiata. Ka whai wāhi atu te whānau ki ngā akoranga reo hei hāpai i te whakawhanaketanga o ngā tamariki. E whanake ana te tūmāia o ngā tamariki ki te whakamahi i te reo Māori.
I taunaki te pūrongo a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i te tau 2014, kia toro atu te whānau ki te tautoko te whakapai ake i te whakamahere hōtaka, te aromātai hōtaka, ngā mahi aromatawai, me te pūrongo i te ahu whakamua a ngā tamariki me tō rātou whakawhanaketanga. Tāpiri atu ki tēnei, kia whakawhanakehia, kia whakatinanahia ngā whakaritenga ka whakapakari ake i te whakamahere rautaki me te arotake whaiaro.
Kua pai te whakamahere me te aromātai a ngā kaimahi i te hōtaka. Ka whakawhanakehia ngā taumahi ako, ā, ka whakahonoa ki Ngā Taumata Whakahirahira. Ka whakarato ngā kaimahi i ngā taumahi ki ngā tamariki hei hāpai, hei whakawhānui hoki i ā rātou akoranga. Hui ai rātou i ia te wā ki te whakawhiti kōrero mō te kounga o te hōtaka akoranga a ngā tamariki, me ngā huarahi ka whāia tonuhia hei whakapai ake. Ka tuhi haere ngā kaimahi i ngā whakarerekētanga, hei hāpai i ngā whakapaitanga mā ngā tamariki. E whiwhi ana ngā tamariki i te pai o ngā putanga ako.
Kua whakaritea te whakamahere rautaki. Ka whakamahia a Ngā Pou e Whā me Te Ara Tūāpae hei ārahi i te kōkiri whakamua a te whānau i ngā whakaritenga. Kua tāutuhia e te whānau ngā kaupapa matua o te kōhanga reo. Ko te reo Māori tētahi aronga matua ki te whānau. Pūrongo ai rātou ki ngā hui i ia te wā ngā mahi kua whakatutukihia, me tā rātou ahu whakamua ki te whakatutuki i ngā whāinga a te whānau. Ko te ako, te haumaru, me te waiora ō ngā tamariki tētahi aronga matua ki te whānau.
Me whakawhanake tonu i ngā mahi aromatawai. Ahakoa kua kohikohi ngā kaimahi i ngā tauira mahi a ngā tamariki, kua waihanga hoki i ngā pūkete, ā, kua whakawhanakehia tētahi rārangi arowhai hei hāpai i ā rātou whakaritenga, he iti noa tonu te ahu whakamua. Me toro atu ngā kaimahi ki te tautoko hei whakapai ake i ā rātou whakaritenga aromatawai, me tā rātou aroturuki i te ahu whakamua o ngā akoranga a ngā tamariki. Kāhore te ako me te whakawhanaketanga o ngā tamariki e āta aroturukitia ana.
I whakawhanakehia e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga me te whānau o te kōhanga reo te taunakitanga e whai ake nei, arā:
E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Ākina Te Reo ki Tūrangi. Kua koke whakamua ngā kaimahi me te whānau ki te whakawhanake i te tūmāia a ngā tamariki ki te whakamahi i te reo Māori. Kua whakaritea ngā mahi ka whakapai ake i ngā mahi whakamahere me te aromātai. Engari, ko ngā mahi aromatawai tētahi wāhanga hei whakawhanake ake tonu, kia pai ake ai anō hoki ngā akoranga a ngā tamariki.
Ka arotake anō Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i Te Kōhanga Reo o Ākina Te Reo 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:
Mana Reo including supporting children to speak te reo Māori
Programme planning, assessment and evaluation
Strategic planning
Self Review
and any issues identified since the previous review
Te Kōhanga Reo o Ākina Te Reo is in Tūrangi. The whānau provide a learning programme for over 2 year olds only.
Since the last ERO report 2014 whānau and kaimahi worked towards addressing the issues identified in planning and evaluation.
The previous ERO report of 2014 identified that kaiako consider ways to build children’s confidence to use te reo Māori in the daily programme with others.
Children hear and speak te reo Maori with others. Kaimahi actively engage in conversations with children to develop and extend the language. Formal and informal activities allow children to hear language for different situations. Kaimahi use games with children to have fun in learning te reo Māori. Questions, prompts and modelling promote children to speak and answer using te reo Māori. Kaimahi support children to lead karakia, himene and waiata. Whānau participate in language classes to support children’s development. Children are developing confidence use te reo Māori.
The ERO report 2014 recommended whānau seek support to improve programme planning, programme evaluation, assessment practices and reporting children’s progress and development. In addition develop and implement practices to strengthen strategic planning and self-review.
Kaimahi programme planning and programme evaluation have improved. Learning activities are developed and linked to Ngā Taumata Whakahirahira. Kaimahi provide children with activities to support and extend their learning. They regularly meet to discuss the quality and ways to improve the learning programme for children. Kaimahi record the changes to support improvement for children. Children experience positive learning outcomes.
Strategic planning is in place. Ngā Pou e Whā and Te Ara Tūāpae documents are used to guide whānau with their forward planning. Whānau have identified priorities for the kōhanga reo. Te reo Māori is a focus for the whānau. They regularly report at their hui about completed tasks and progress towards achieving whānau goals. Children’s learning, safety and wellbeing is a focus for whānau.
Assessment practices remains an area for development. Although kaimahi have collected samples of children’s work, created portfolios, and developed a checklist to assist their practices minimal progress has been achieved. Kaimahi need seek support to improve their assessment practices and monitoring children’s progress with learning. Children’s learning and development is not well monitored.
ERO and the kōhanga reo whānau developed the following recommendation:
Develop and implement assessment processes to monitor children’s progress with learning.
Te Kōhanga Reo o Ākina Te Reo is in Turangi. Kaimahi and whānau have made progress to develop children’s confidence to use te reo Māori. Steps to improve planning and evaluation are in place. However assessment practices remains an area for development to improve children’s learning.
The next ERO review of Te Kōhanga Reo o Ākina Te Reo will be in three years.
