He tino tauira rātou, ā, ka mātakitaki, ka whai atu hoki ngā mokopuna i a rātou e whakatinana ana i ngā tikanga me ngā kawa e whai pānga ana ki te hāhi Rātana. E tupu ana te māramatanga o ngā mokopuna ki a rātou anō, ki tō rātou tuakiri hoki hei Mōrehu.
Ka whai wāhi atu ngā mokopuna ki tētahi hōtaka akoranga whakahihiri e mau ana i te nui o ngā rauemi. Ka whakarato ngā kaimahi i te taiao whakangahau, taiao whitawhita, taiao auaha hoki mō ngā mokopuna. He tino whitawhita, he pāhekoheko hoki ngā waiata, ngā kanikani, ngā haka, me te korikori, ā, ka whai wāhi nui aua tūāhuatanga ki te hōtaka i ia te wā. Ka whakapuaki māhorahora ngā mokopuna i a rātou anō, ā, ka āta kitea hoki tō rātou ngākau whakapuke ki te whakaatu i ō rātou pūmanawa. Whakamihia ai, whakanuia ai rātou i ia te wā mō tō rātou whakapau kaha. Ka whakamahi ngā kaimahi i ngā rautaki papai ki te whakatau i ngā mokopuna, me te whakawhiti i a rātou. Ko ngā mahinga i āta whakaritea ai e hāpai ana i te ngāwari me te ngākau titikaha ki ngā mokopuna ki te whakawhiti haere, puta noa i te hōtaka akoranga. E whakaongaongatia ana ngā mokopuna, ā, he ākonga kakama hoki.
Kua āta whakamaheretia ngā wheako ako o ngā mokopuna, ā, ka aromatawaihia, ka aromātaihia hoki. E ū ana ngā kaimahi ki te whakarato i te kounga o ngā whai wāhitanga ako ki ngā mokopuna.

Ka whakamahi i ngā rauemi o roto, o waho hoki hei hāpai i ngā matea ako ake o ngā mokopuna. Ka whakatinana ngā kaimahi i te tangongitanga o ngā whakaritenga aromatawai. Ka āta tautuhi, ka āta kapo hoki ērā i ngā ngākau nuitanga o ngā mokopuna, i ō rātou pūkenga, me tā rātou ahu whakamua i roto i te roanga o te wā. Kua āta whakaritea ngā mahi e pā ana ki te aromātai hōtaka. Ka āta whakaarohia te rerekē haere o ngā matea o ngā mokopuna, i ngā kaimahi e aro atu ana, e panoni haere ana hoki i te hōtaka. Tū ai ngā huihuinga i ia te wā, ā, he hōhonu ngā kōrerotanga mō tēnā i whai hua ai, mō ngā āhuatanga hei whakapai ake, me ngā mahi angitu, ngā ngākau nuitanga hoki o ngā mokopuna. E whanake ana te ngākau titikaha o ngā mokopuna ki te Māramatanga.
E whakatairanga ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Wharemārama i ngā whakapono me ngā uara o te hāhi Rātana. He hononga ki waenga i ngā whānau, ā, ka ahu mai aua hononga i tō rātou whenua, i tō rātou kōhanga reo, me tō rātou hāhi. Ka tātai hono rātou ki te iwi, ka noho ki te pā o Rātana, ka whai atu i te hāhi Rātana, ā, he manu pīrere hoki rātou o te kōhanga reo. Ko tō te whānau wawata, kia paihere tonuhia aua hononga me aua uara mō ngā whakatupuranga kei te heke mai. Ka whakaratohia ngā kōrero whakahou ake ki te whānau mā ngā pūrongo e pā ana ki te hōtaka akoranga, ki ngā pūtea, me te tiaki rawa. E arotahi ana ngā mahere rautaki ki ngā wawata ngātahi o te whānau mō ā rātou mokopuna. Kua tautuhia ngā rārangi wā me ngā kawenga hei whakatutuki i ngā whāinga rautaki. Ka tū te kaiako hei kaiārahi ako mō ngā kaimahi, kia pakari ake ai ngā pūkenga o te katoa, tae atu ki ngā kaimahi hou. E puāwai ana ngā mokopuna ki tētahi taiao e hāngai pū ana ki te āta poipoi i a rātou hei Mōrehu.
Me whakapakari ake i te aromātai o roto. Me arotake wawe i ngā kaupapa here me ngā tukanga hei āta whakatau i te hāngaitanga o ērā ki ngā herenga ā-ture o tēnei wā, me te Children's Act 2014. E mārama ana ki te whānau te whai pānga o ngā tukanga arotake ki te whakapakari ake i ngā mahi whakahaere ki te kōhanga reo. Me whakatakoto hoki i ngā pūnaha whakahaere tari e aroturuki auau ai i ngā whakahaeretanga o te kōhanga reo. Me whakarite i tētahi mahere ā-tau hei āta ārahi i ngā mahi whakahaere matua mā ngā huarahi papai e taea ana te whakahaere. Ka whai hua ngā mokopuna nā te āta whakahaeretanga o ngā pūnaha me ngā tukanga a te whānau whakahaere.

Nā Tahupōtiki Wiremu Rātana
Te Kōhanga Reo o Wharemārama is situated on the grounds of Te Whare Kura o Rātana at Ratana Pā. They have a strong relationship with the kura. The kaupapa of Māramatanga is the foundation for all they do. The kōhanga reo has recently celebrated their 40th anniversary.
Mokopuna are developing an understanding of Māramatanga through their interactions, relationships and environment.
Mokopuna experience important learning opportunities that are based on Te Haahi Rātana beliefs and values. Whakamoemiti, hīmene, mihimihi and kupu whakaari support mokopuna to build their understanding of Māramatanga. Kaimahi provide appropriate interactive activities, books and waiata to signify the importance of colours in the whetūmārama. Mokopuna are gently settled into their day through morning whakamoemiti. Whakapapa links connecting mokopuna with kaimahi and each other are very strong. Relationships are positive and affirming. Kaimahi are responsive and attentive to mokopuna needs. This encourages mokopuna to show aroha and affection to others. Kaimahi and tuākana from the kura participate in pōwhiri alongside the kōhanga reo. They are strong role models, who mokopuna observe and follow as they practice tikanga and kawa relevant to Te Haahi Ratana. Mokopuna are growing their understanding of who they are and their identity as Mōrehu.
Mokopuna participate in a learning programme that is vibrant and well-resourced. Kaimahi provide a fun, fast paced, creative environment for mokopuna. High-energy interactive waiata, kanikani, haka and korikori are regular features of the programme. Mokopuna freely express themselves and are clearly excited to show off their talents. They are regularly praised and applauded for their efforts. Kaimahi use effective strategies to settle and transition mokopuna. Well established routines enable mokopuna to move throughout the learning programme with ease and confidence. Mokopuna are stimulated and active learners.
Mokopuna learning experiences are well planned, assessed and evaluated. Kaimahi are committed to providing quality learning opportunities for mokopuna. Planning includes comprehensive plans for each age group with links to Te Whāriki and Te Haahi Rātana. Internal and external resources are used to support mokopuna with additional learning needs. Kaimahi implement a range of assessment practices. These clearly indicate and capture mokopuna interests, abilities and improvements overtime. Programme evaluation practices are well established. The changing needs of mokopuna are well considered as kaimahi respond and adapt the programme accordingly. Regular meetings include in-depth discussions on what went well, what needs to improve, mokopuna successes and their interests. Mokopuna are developing confidence in Māramatanga.
Te Kōhanga Reo o Wharemārama promotes Te Haahi Rātana beliefs and values. Whānau affiliate to each other through their whenua, their kōhanga reo, and their faith. They whakapapa to the iwi, reside in Rātana Pā, follow Te Haahi Rātana and are Manu Pīrere o te kōhanga reo. Whānau aspire for these integral connections and values to be sustained for the next generations. Regular updates are provided to the whānau through the learning programme, financial and maintenance reporting. Strategic planning is focussed on the collective aspirations of whānau for their mokopuna. Timelines and responsibilities to meet strategic goals have been identified. The kaiako mentors kaimahi to build the collective capability of all, including new kaimahi. Mokopuna thrive in an environment that is centred on sustaining them as Mōrehu.
Internal evaluation requires strengthening. A review of policies and procedures is urgently required to ensure they align to current legislation and Childrens Act 2014. The whānau understand that internal review processes will strengthen kōhanga reo management. There is a need to establish administration systems that regularly monitor kōhanga reo operations. An annual plan is required to clearly guide key operational tasks in a manageable and efficient manner. Mokopuna benefit from whānau whakahaere systems and processes that are well managed.
Kaimahi appraisals are incomplete. It is important for whānau to complete kaimahi appraisals in order to clearly identify relevant professional development opportunities to support kaimahi. Mokopuna will benefit from increasing kaimahi knowledge and skills.
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:
ERO recommends that whānau continue to work alongside te tari-a-rohe to address the key next steps and non-compliances 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 a Wharemārama Te Kōhanga Reo ki Rātana Pā, ki Whanganui. He tino hononga ki Te Kura o Rātana e tū ana hoki ki te pā. Nā Tahupōtiki Wiremu Rātana te hāhi Rātana i tīmata, nāna hoki te pā i whakatū. He arotake motuhake tēnei, hei āta whakatau i te arotakenga ngātahi o te kōhanga reo me te kura i roto i ngā tau kei te heke mai.
E tīmata ana ngā tamariki ki te whai māramatanga ki ō rātou tūranga me ā rātou kawenga hei mōrehu o Te Māramatanga.
“Kia mau ki tō reo e te iwi, ka nui te ngaro haere o tēnei āhua. Mā tō rātou hoki koe ka mōhiotia he Māori, ka kūare koe ki tō reo, ka meingatia koe nō ngā whenua kē noa atu.” nā Tahupōtiki Wiremu Rātana
E whai pūtake ana ngā whai wāhitanga o ngā mokopuna ki te ako i ngā uara, ngā whakapono me ngā whakaritenga o te hāhi Rātana. E tū ana a Wharemārama Te Kōhanga Reo ki te kura. E wawata ngātahi ana ngā whānau o te kōhanga reo me te kura kia tū ā rātou mokopuna hei mōrehu e noho ngākau nui ana, e noho pūmau ana hoki ki ngā whakaakoranga o te hāhi. Kua pou herea te mātauranga a ngā mokopuna ki ngā mātāpono o te Māramatanga, te Mōrehutanga, me te Whakamoemiti. Ko te whai wāhi atu a ngā mokopuna ki ngā huihuinga me ngā kaupapa a te hāhi Rātana e whakatairanga ana i tō rātou māramatanga ki ō rātou tūranga me ā rātou kawenga hei mōrehu. E whai wāhi mātātoa ana te kura me te kōhanga reo ki te huihuinga ā-motu e tū ai ki te pā o Rātana i ia tau. Ka kite rātou i te whakanuitanga o te motu i tō rātou tupuna, i a Tahupōtiki Wiremu Rātana. E whanake ana ngā mokopuna hei mōrehu, mā ngā tino whakaakoranga o te hāhi Rātana.
Kei te tino mōhio ngā kaiako ki ngā mokopuna, ā, ka āta hāpai i ā rātou akoranga. Ko ngā mokopuna e mōhio ana ki te iti noa o te reo Māori, ka āta tautokona e ngā kaiako me te whānau, hei ākonga o te reo tuarua. Ka urutau wawe rātou ki te taiao ako rumaki reo Māori. Ka āta whakaritea ngā mokopuna mō tā rātou whakawhiti atu ki te kura. Ka āta whakatau ngā kaimahi kia noho ngākau nui ngā mokopuna ki ngā wā ako, ā, ka whakamahere rātou hei whakatutuki i ngā matea ako o ngā mokopuna.
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:

The Education Review Office, whānau, leaders and communities have collaborated to provide evaluation insights that foster improvement, identify progress and build evaluation capability.
Wharemārama Te Kōhanga Reo is located at Rātana Pā, Whanganui. There is a close connection to Te Kura o Ratana which is also at the pā. The pā was established by Tahupōtiki Wiremu Rātana, founder of Te Haahi Rātana. This is a special review to ensure that in the future the kōhanga reo and the kura are reviewed at the same time.
Children are at the early stages of understanding their roles and responsibilities as morehu to Te Māramatanga.
“Kia mau ki tō reo e te iwi, ka nui te ngaro haere o tēnei āhua. Mā tō rātou hoki koe ka mōhiotia he Māori, ka kūare koe ki tō reo, ka meingatia koe nō ngā whenua kē noa atu.” nā Tahupōtiki Wiremu Rātana
Mokopuna have meaningful opportunities to learn about the values, beliefs and practices of the Rātana faith. Wharemarama Kōhanga Reo is based on the kura site. Whānau of both the kōhanga reo and kura aspire for their mokopuna to become mōrehu who are dedicated and committed to the teachings of the haahi. The principles of Maramatanga, Mōrehutanga and Whakamoemiti are what underpins the education of Mokopuna. Participation in Rātana celebrations and events enhance Mokopuna understanding of their roles and responsibilities as mōrehu. The kura and kōhanga reo are active participants in the national event held at Rātana Pā every year. They observe how the nation celebrates their tupuna, Tahupōtiki Wiremu Rātana. Mokopuna are developing as mōrehu through the deliberate teachings of Te Haahi Rātana.
Kaiako know their mokopuna and support their learning well. Those mokopuna with limited te reo Māori are well supported as second language learners by kaiako and whānau. They adapt quickly to the immersion learning environment. Moko are well prepared to transition to the kura. Kaimahi ensure learning times are engaging and planned to meet mokopuna learning needs.
During the evaluation, ERO looked at systems for managing the following areas:

Hei wāhanga tonu o āna mahi, ko Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga te tari kāwanatanga ka aromātai i ngā kōhanga reo puta noa i Aotearoa. He pārongo kōrero ki ngā pūrongo a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga mā te whānau, mā ngā hapū, mā ngā iwi, me ngā hapori.
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 Wharemārama ki Rātana Pā. E tino tautokona ana te kōhanga reo e tō rātou hapori. E noho ana te nuinga o te whānau o te kōhanga reo ki te takiwā tonu o Rātana Pā. Kua mahi ngātahi te whānau ki te whakatutuki i ngā take katoa i tautuhia ai ki te pūrongo o mua a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga.
E whai hua ana ngā mokopuna i te hōtaka akoranga e poipoi ana i ō rātou matea ako me ō rātou matea whakawhanaketanga.
Kei te rongo ngā mokopuna i te manaakitanga. Ka āta whakarite ngā kaimahi kia harikoakoa te wāhi noho nei. Ka whakatairanga, ka whakatauira hoki rātou i te āhua o te whanonga pai. Ka whakaatu hoki ngā mokopuna i aua uara, i te āhua tonu o te whakaute o tētahi ki tētahi, ā, he painga hoki mō rātou i ngā mahinga a ngā kaimahi kua pou herea ki ngā mātāpono o te aroha. Ka toro atu ngā kaimahi ki te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo rautaki e akiaki ana i ngā mokopuna ki te whakamahi i te reo Māori. Ka whakatauira rātou i ngā hanganga reo papai, ā, ka tāruarua hoki i ngā kōrero hei hāpai i te whakawhanaketanga o te reo. Ka hāpai ngā kaimahi i ngā mokopuna ki te whakapuaki i ō rātou pepeha. Ka whakarato rātou i ngā whai wāhitanga mō ngā mokopuna ki te ako i ō rātou whakapapa me ō rātou tātai hono ki te whānau, ki te hapū, ā, ki te iwi hoki. Ko te tangongitanga o ngā waiata me ngā whakamoemiti e mōhiotia ana e ngā mokopuna, e hāpai ana i ō rātou ngākau titikaha me tō rātou aronga toi whenuatanga. E whakapuaki ana ngā mokopuna i te aroha ki waenga i a rātou anō, i a rātou e whanake ana ki te kōrero i te reo Māori.
He pai te whakahaeretanga o te whānau i te kōhanga reo. Kua whakatinanahia te mahere rautaki a te whānau ki ngā whāinga me ngā wawata o te whānau. E tāutu ana te mahere i ngā whāinga matua, i ngā taumata hoki ka whāia, ā, i ngā mahi hoki kia tutuki. E whai kiko ana ngā mahere hōtaka, ā, ka tāutu i te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo wheako ako. Ka tino hāngai te mahere ki te whakatinanatanga o ngā kaupapa mahi. Kua whakawhanakehia e ngā kaimahi ngā mahere me ngā mahi aromatawai e tika ana mō ia reanga, hei poipoi i te ako a ngā mokopuna katoa. He mōhiohio o roto i ngā mahi aromatawai o Te Mātai Tamaiti, ā, e kapo atu ana i ngā akoranga a ngā mokopuna, puta noa i te tangongitanga o ngā horopaki o te ao Māori. E whakanui ana ngā pūkete a ngā mokopuna i ā rātou akoranga me ō rātou tupuranga. Ka whakamahi ngā kaimahi i ngā huarahi ōkawa me ngā huarahi ōpaki ki te aromātai i te hōtaka akoranga. Ko ngā mokopuna kei te aronga pū o ngā mahi whakamahere me ngā whakataunga.
Kua whakapai ake te whānau i ngā putanga ki ngā mokopuna. E whai wāhi atu ana ngā kaimahi katoa ki ngā mahi whakangungu i tēnei wā tonu, ā, haere ake nei hoki. Kua tautuhia, kua ākina hoki ngā mema o te whānau kia whai wāhi atu ai rātou ki ngā mahi whakangungu a te Poari Matua o Ngā Kōhanga Reo. Mā te whakapakari i ngā mōhiotanga, ngā āheinga, me ngā pūkenga hoki o te whānau ka āta whakapūmau i te rōnaki tonutanga o te kōhanga reo mō meāke nei, me ngā painga pae tawhiti hoki o ngā mokopuna.
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:
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) is the government department that, as part of its work, evaluates kōhanga reo throughout Aotearoa. ERO’s reports provide information for whānau, hapū, iwi and communities.
The Education Review Office, whānau, leaders and communities provide evaluation insights that foster improvement, identify progress and build evaluation capability.
Te Kōhanga Reo o Wharemārama is in Rātana Pā. This kōhanga reo is well supported by the local community. Most whānau members live in the Rātana Pā area. Whānau have worked together to address all issues identified in the previous ERO report.
Mokopuna benefit from a learning programme that caters to their learning and development needs.
Mokopuna experience manaakitanga. Kaimahi ensure the environment is a happy place. They promote and model positive behaviours. Mokopuna reflect these values in their respect for each other and benefit from kaimahi routines that are underpinned by the principles of aroha. Kaimahi use a range of strategies to encourage mokopuna to use te reo Māori. They model good language structures and use repetition to support te reo development. Kaimahi support mokopuna to share their pepeha. They provide mokopuna with opportunities to learn their whakapapa to learn about their connections to whānau hapū and iwi. A variety of familiar waiata and whakamoemiti support mokopuna confidence and their sense of belonging. Mokopuna show aroha towards each other as developing speakers of te reo Māori.
Whānau manage the kōhanga reo well. The whānau strategic plan is informed by goals and aspirations of the whānau. The plan identifies key aims, targets and actions. Programme planning is detailed and identifies a range of learning experiences. The plan closely aligns to the implementation of kaupapa mahi. Kaimahi have developed age appropriate planning and assessment practices to cater for all mokopuna learning. Mātai tamaiti assessment practices are informative and capture mokopuna learning across a range of te ao Māori contexts. Mokopuna profile books celebrate their learning and growth. Kaimahi use formal and informal methods to evaluate the learning programme. Mokopuna are the focus of planning and decision making.
Whānau have improved outcomes for mokopuna. All current kaimahi are in recent or ongoing training. Whānau members have been identified and encouraged to participate in training made available through the National Trust. Building whānau knowledge, capability and skills should ensure the future sustainability of the kōhanga reo and long-term benefits for the mokopuna.
During the evaluation, ERO looked at systems for managing the following areas:
ERO and the kōhanga reo whānau developed the following recommendation:
