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.
Ko Te Kōhanga Reo o Manutuke tētahi wāhanga o te marae o Manutuke, ki te tonga o Tūranga-nui-a-Kiwa. Koia nei hoki te wāhi e tū ana te whare karakia o Te Toko Toru Tapu. E tangi ana te whānau i te huringa o tō rātou kuia ki tua o te ārai. E whakaū tonu ana rātou i tana whakareretanga iho ki te whakarato i ngā putanga e whai painga ana mō ngā mokopuna.
Ka kitea ki ngā mokopuna tō rātou māramatanga ki a rātou anō, ki tō rātou tūrangawaewae hoki.
E rumakina ana ngā mokopuna ki ngā akoranga e whakakoia ana i ō rātou hononga ki te whānau, te hapū, me te iwi. Ka āta whakarite ngā kaimahi kia poipoi, kia manaaki ngā taunekeneke katoa ki waenga i ngā pakeke me ngā mokopuna. Ka rongo ngā mokopuna i te pai, i te manaakitanga, i te whakaute hoki ki ō rātou hononga ki ngā pakeke me ō rātou hoa. Kei te tākare ngā mokopuna tuākana ki te whakaatu i tō rātou āheinga ki te ārahi i ngā kaupapa. E arohaina ana ngā pēpi, i a rātou e whai wāhi atu ana ki te kaupapa o te kōhanga reo. Ka poipoi, ka tautāwhi ngā kaimahi i a rātou i ngā wā o ngā taumahi ako a te katoa. Ka rongo rātou i ngā waiata, ā, ka korikori ngā kaimahi i a rātou ki ngā nekehanga, ki te manawataki rānei. He maha ngā wā ka whakamihi, ka akiaki hoki ngā pakeke i ngā whakamātau me ngā whakatutukitanga a ngā mokopuna. Ka kitea te kaha o te aronga toi whenuatanga o ngā mokopuna.
E tautāwhitia ana ngā mokopuna ki te whanaungatanga. Ka whakarato ngā kaimahi i ngā whai wāhitanga mō ngā mokopuna ki te whakapuaki i ō rātou pepeha. Ka whai wāhi tēnei ki te whakapūmau i ngā hononga o ngā mokopuna ki tō rātou tūrangawaewae. E hāpaitia ana te whai wāhi atu a ngā mokopuna ki ngā wāhanga ōkawa o te hōtaka akoranga, pērā i ngā whakatau, ngā karakia, ngā hīmene, ngā mōteatea, me ngā mihimihi. Ka āta whakatau ngā kaimahi i te taetae atu a ngā mokopuna ki ngā kaupapa i tō rātou marae. Mā taua mahi, ka kite ngā mokopuna, ka whai wāhi atu hoki rātou ki ngā tikanga me ngā kawa. Ka rongo ngā mokopuna i te hunga e matatau ana ki te reo Māori i a rātou e whakarongo ana ki ngā karanga me ngā whaikōrero. Ka ako ngā mokopuna i ō rātou hononga ā-whakapapa.
Ka āta tūhonohono mārika ngā mokopuna ki tō rātou taiao māoriori, taiao tūturu. Kua whakaritea ngā mahinga o ia rā mā ngā mokopuna. He pakari te whakawhiti haere a ngā mokopuna i tō rātou kōhanga reo me tō rātou marae. E hāpai ana ngā wāhi o waho i te whakawhanaketanga o ngā mokopuna i ō rātou pūkenga me tā rātou whakangahau, i a rātou e ako ana, e tākaro ana. He pērā anō te muramura, te hihiri, te auaha hoki o te waho ako o roto. E whakawhanake ana te mokopuna i ngā uara o te manaaki, te aroha, me te tiaki mōna ake, ā, mō ētahi atu hoki. E mōhio ana ngā mokopuna ki tō rātou tūrangawaewae, ā, he ngākau titikaha ō rātou, e arohaina ana hoki rātou.
Ka mahi ngātahi ngā kaimahi i a rātou e whakamahere ana i te hōtaka akoranga. Ka aroturukitia te ako a ngā mokopuna, ā, ka aromātaihia te kounga o te hōtaka akoranga i ia te wā. Kua whakatakotohia ngā mahere ā-tau, ā-wāhanga, ā-marama, ā-wiki hoki, ā, ka tautuhi i ngā putanga ako, i ngā rautaki, me ngā rauemi e hāpai ai i te whakatinanatanga. Ka mahi ngātahi ngā kaimahi kia āta whai wāhi mai ngā whakapapa me ngā kōrero tuku iho a ngā tūpuna e whai pānga ana ki tō rātou hapū me tō rātou iwi. Kua āta tuhia ngā mātai mokopuna me ngā kōnae, ā, ka whai wāhi hoki ki ērā ko ngā kōrero miramira e pā ana ki te ako me te ahu whakamua a ia mokopuna. Whakaaro huritao ai ngā kaimahi i ia te wā ki ā rātou whakaritenga, kia tutuki ngā whakarerekētanga papai. Ka aromātai i te hōtaka hei aroturuki i te kounga o te hōtaka akoranga. Ka whai hua ngā mokopuna nā tētahi hōtaka e tūhono ana i a rātou ki te whānau, te hapū, me te iwi.
Ko te whanaungatanga te tūāpapa o ngā mahi whakahaere i te kōhanga reo. Ka whai mōhiohio ngā meneti matawhānui o ngā hui ā-whānau. Kua whakatakotohia ngā kaupapa here me ngā tukanga e pā ana ki te hauora, te haumaru, me te whakahaere kaimahi, hei āta whakatau i te aronga nui ki te waiora o ngā mokopuna. Ka ū ki ngā taumata papai i roto i te whakahaeretanga o ngā pūtea. Ka whakamōhiotia ngā mahere rautaki ki Te Ara Tūāpae, ā, ka whakatakoto hoki i te tirohanga me ngā wawata o te whānau. Ka tautuhi hoki i ngā kaupapa matua o te pae tawhiti me te pae tata. Ka āta tautuhi te mahere ā-tau i ngā wāhanga matua o ngā whakahaeretanga, ā, i ngā wā hoki e tika ana ki te whakatutuki i aua tūāhuatanga, puta noa i te tau. Kua whakaritea ngā tuhinga e pā ana ki ngā tūranga mahi. Ka whakamārama ngā tuhinga tūranga mahi i ngā kawenga e tūmanakohia ana. Whakatutukihia ai ngā arohaehae kaimahi i ia tau. Ka hāngai ngā kōrerorero ki te whakawhanaketanga ngaio i whakatutukihia ai e ngā kaimahi, me ngā whāinga āhua mahi ka whai ake mō te whakatairanga tonutanga. Ka āta aroturukitia te whakatutukitanga o ngā mahi whakahaere. Ko ngā mokopuna kei te pūtake o ngā whakataunga ngātahi a te whānau.

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 Manutuke is a part of Te Marae o Manutuke and is located south of Gisborne. This is also the place where Te Toko Toru Tapu church is situated. The whānau is mourning the loss of their kuia. They continue to uphold her legacy to provide positive outcomes for mokopuna.
How well do mokopuna express their understanding of their identity and belonging?
Mokopuna demonstrate their understanding of who they are and where they come from.
Mokopuna are immersed in learning that affirms their connections to whānau, hapū and iwi. Kaimahi ensure all interactions between adults and mokopuna are nurturing and caring. Mokopuna experience positive, caring and respectful relationships with adults and their peers. Older mokopuna are keen to show their ability to lead activities. Pepi are loved as they become a part of the kaupapa of the kōhanga reo. Kaimahi hold and comfort them during whole group learning activities. They hear waiata and kaimahi move with them to the directions and or the rhythms. Adults often praise and encourage mokopuna efforts and achievements. Mokopuna show that they have a strong sense of belonging.
Mokopuna are embraced in whanaungatanga. Kaimahi provide mokopuna with opportunities to share their pepehā. This helps to reinforce mokopuna connections to their tūrangawaewae. Mokopuna are supported to participate in formal parts of the learning programme such as whakatau, karakia, himene, mōteatea and mihimihi. Kaimahi ensure mokopuna attend events on their marae. Through this mokopuna observe and participate in tikanga and kawa. Mokopuna hear fluent language models as they listen to karanga and whaikōrero. Mokopuna learn about their whakapapa connections.
Mokopuna make meaningful connections to their natural and physical environment. Daily routines are established for mokopuna. Mokopuna move confidently in their kōhanga reo and their marae. Outdoor areas encourage mokopuna to develop their skills and have fun as they learn and play. The indoor learning space is equally as colourful, vibrant, and creative. Mokopuna are developing values of manaaki, aroha and tiaki for self and others. Mokopuna know their place and are confident and loved.
Kaimahi work collectively as they plan the learning programme. Mokopuna learning is monitored, and the quality of the learning programme is regularly evaluated. Year, term, monthly and weekly plans are in place and identify learning outcomes, strategies, and resources to support implementation. Kaimahi work together to ensure whakapapa and ancestral stories relevant to their hapū and iwi are included. Mātai mokopuna and kōnae are well documented and include highlights of individual mokopuna learning and progress. Kaimahi regularly reflect on their practices to make positive changes. They use programme evaluation to monitor the quality of the learning programme. Mokopuna benefit from a programme that connects them to whānau, hapū and iwi.
Whanaungatanga provides the foundation for the way in which the kōhanga reo is managed. Whānau hui minutes are informative and detailed. Health, safety and personnel management policies and procedures are in place to ensure mokopuna wellness is a priority. Good financial management standards are kept. Strategic planning is informed by Te Ara Tūāpae and includes the vision and aspirations of the whānau. It also identifies long and short-term priorities. The annual plan clearly identifies key areas of operations and when these must be attended to across the year. Employment documentation is in place. Job descriptions provide clarity of expected responsibilities. Kaimahi appraisals are completed annually. Comments include kaimahi professional development undertaken and further performance goals toward improvement. The administration of operations is well monitored. Mokopuna are at the centre of collective whānau decision making.
During the evaluation, ERO looked at systems for managing the following areas:
emotional safety including positive guidance and child protection
physical safety including supervision, sleep procedures, accidents, medication, excursion policy and procedures
suitable staffing including appropriate qualifications, police vetting, ratios
emergency procedures and practices for earthquakes, fire, flood, tsunami and pandemic.
ERO and the kōhanga reo developed the following recommendation:
whānau continue to enhance the collective strength of the whānau to further increase the quality of learning and outcomes for mokopuna.

Ko Te Kōhanga Reo o Manutuke tētahi wāhanga o te marae o te hapori, ā, kāhore e tawhiti atu ana te noho whakatetonga o te wāhi nei i Tūranga-nui-a-Kiwa. Whai muri i te arotake o mua a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga, kua whakatū te whānau i tētahi kaiako hou. E noho ngākau nui ana te whānau ki te whakatinanatanga o te tirohanga ngātahi a te hapū me te iwi, arā, kia whakarauora i te reo Māori, ā, kia whakatupu ngātahi i ā rātou tamariki.
Ka kitea te whanaungatanga o ngā tamariki mā te pai o ā rātou taunekeneke me te whai tikanga anō hoki o ō rātou hononga ki ētahi atu.
E hāpaitia ana te ako a ngā tamariki i te reo Māori. Ka whakamahi ngā kaimahi i te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo rautaki e whakatōpū ana, e whakawhānui ana hoki i te mōhiotanga o ngā tamariki ki te reo Māori me tā rātou whakamahinga i te reo. E āhei ana ngā tamariki ki te waiata i ngā wai, ā, ka taki hoki i ngā mihimihi me ngā karakia mā te kore whai i te ārahitanga tonu o ngā kaimahi. Ka taea e ngā tamariki tuākana te whakawhitiwhiti kōrero mā te reo Māori. Ka taea e ngā tamariki tēina ngā kupu te whakahāngai ki ngā pikitia, ngā tāngata, me ngā taputapu. Ka whakapuaki ngā pēpi tā te reo ā-tinana, tā te kanohi hoki i tō rātou māramatanga ki tēnā e kōrerohia ana. Kei te pakari haere te tūmāia o ngā tamariki ki te kōrero i te reo Māori.
E whai wāhi atu ana ngā tamariki ki ngā akoranga e poipoi ana i ō rātou tuakiri. He whai wāhitanga mō rātou ki te whakawhanaunga ki ngā kaumātua me ngā kuia. Ka āta whakarite ngā kaimahi kia whakaute ngā tamariki i ngā wā katoa e noho ana rātou ki te taha o ō rātou kaumātua. E hāpaitia ana ngā tamariki kia taki rātou i ngā tauparapara e pā ana ki tō rātou iwi me tō rātou hapū. Ka waiata rātou i ngā waiata e pā ana ki ngā waka o Horouta rāua ko Tākitimu. Ka akiaki ngā kaimahi i ngā tamariki ki te whakapuaki i ō rātou pepeha me ō rātou whakapapa ki ētahi atu. Nā te marae ka ako ngā tamariki i ō rātou tūranga me ā rātou kawenga hei tangata whenua. Ka tae atu rātou ki ngā tūmomo kaupapa whakahirahira ki te marae. Ka whai pānga nui ngā tikanga me ngā kawa o Rongowhakaata ki ngā akoranga a ngā tamariki. E mōhio ana ngā tamariki ki ō rātou tuakiri me ō rātou tūrangawaewae.
E whai tikanga ana ngā hononga o ngā tamariki i tēnei taiao. He tino hononga ā-whakapapa ki waenga i te nuinga o ngā tamariki me ngā whānau. Ka atawhai ngā kaimahi i ngā tamariki mā te whakaute, te whai whakaaro nui, me te manaakitanga. E hāpai ana aua taunekeneke i ngā tamariki ki te whai whakaaro ki ētahi atu. E ākina ana te tautoko o ngā tuākana i ō rātou tēina. He tino mauritau, ka whakawhirinaki hoki ngā tamariki tēina. E whakatairanga ana te whanaungatanga i ngā taunekeneke ki te kōhanga reo. He tūmāia, he mauritau hoki te āhua o ngā tamariki.
E ākina ana ngā tamariki ki te tūhura i tō rātou wāhi. Nā ngā wāhi o waho, ngā wāhi māoriori hoki ka pupū ake ngā whai wāhitanga mō ngā tamariki ki te uru atu ki ngā akoranga e whai pūtake ana ki a rātou. Ka whakarato ngā kaimahi i te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo rauemi e hāpai mārika ana i te ako a ngā tamariki. Ko ngā mātauranga o te takiwā nei e whai pānga matua ana ki ngā kaupapa ako. Nā ngā haerenga i whakamaheretia ai, ka taea e ngā tamariki te ako ngā tūmomo wāhi, ngā pou whenua hoki e noho whakahirahira ana ki a Rongowhakaata. E ākina ana ngā tamariki kia auaha, kia whakaaro pohewa hoki rātou. Ka whakaratohia ngā whai wāhitanga mō rātou ki te whai i ō rātou ake ngākau nuitanga. Ka whakatutuki haere ngā kaimahi i ngā tūmomo matea ako o ngā tamariki. He ngākau titikaha ō ngā tamariki ki te ako.
E whai hua ana ngā tukanga ā ngā kaimahi mō te whakamahere, te aromatawai, me te aromātai hōtaka. Ka mahi ngā kaimahi ki te taha o ngā mātua ki te whakatau i te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo taumahi e tika ana mō ngā akoranga a ngā tamariki. Ka whakatakoto ngā kōnae i ngā akoranga e whakatutukihia ana e ngā tamariki. Ka whakamahi hoki ngā kaimahi i ngā pūrongo e kīia ana, ko Mātai i te Tamaiti, hei tāutu i te ahu whakamua haere a ngā tamariki i roto i ngā paearu i whakatakotohia ai. E āhei ana ngā kaimahi ki te pūrongo ki ngā mātua i te ako a ā rātou tamariki, me te whiwhi hoki i ngā kōrero urupare. Ka whakamahi ngā kaimahi i te aromātai hōtaka hei aroturuki i te kounga o te hōtaka akoranga. Ka pūrongo ngā kaiako ki ngā hui ā-whānau mō ngā whakaritenga ā meāke nei, me ngā whakarerekētanga i whakatutukihia ai ki te hōtaka. Ka whai hua ngā tamariki i te wā e arotahi ana ngā whakaritenga o ngā mahi whakamahere, te aromatawai, me te aromātai ki ō rātou matea ako.
He pai te whakahaeretanga a te whānau i tō rātou kōhanga reo. He huringa taiāwhio ki te arotake i ngā kaupapa here, ā, he pai anō hoki te aroturuki i ngā tukanga. E hāngai ana ngā rēhita o te hauora me te haumaru ki ngā kaupapa here. Ka whakamahi te whānau i Te Taumata o Te Kaupapa i ia te wā hei ārahi i tā rātou āta whakarite i te whakatutukitanga o te whare me ngā wāhi hoki o roto, o waho hoki i ā rātou taumata mō te kounga.
E whai kawenga ana te whānau o te kōhanga reo hei kaituku mahi. E hāngai ana ngā tuhinga tūranga mahi katoa ki te wā, ā, kua whakatakotohia anō hoki te katoa. Kua oti ngā mahi e arohaehae ai i ngā kaimahi. Ka arotahi i ia te wā ki te whakawhanaketanga ngaio. Kei te rawaka te arotake whaiaro. Whiwhi ai te whānau i ngā pūrongo i ia te wā ki ā rātou hui. E hāngai ana aua pūrongo ki te hōtaka akoranga me ngā pūtea. Ka whakatinanahia te mahere rautaki ki tā Te Ara Tūāpae. Kua whakatakotohia e te whānau ngā whāinga me ngā kaupapa matua, hei āta whakarite i te whakatutukitanga o ngā putanga mō te paetawhiti. Ko te aronga o tēnei wā, ko te whakawhanaketanga ake o te reo Māori mō te whānau. E aroturuki ana tētahi mahere mahi i te whakatutukitanga o ngā whāinga. Ka whai hua ngā tamariki i te wā e whakaaro nuitia ana ō rātou matea mō meāke nei.
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.
E taunaki ana Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga:
Ka aromātai anō Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i Te Kōhanga Reo o Manutuke i roto i te whā o ngā tau.

Te Kōhanga Reo o Manutuke is a part of the local marae and is a short distance to the south of Gisborne. Since the previous ERO review, the whānau have employed a new kaiako. The whānau are committed to implementing the shared vision of the hapū and iwi, which is to revitalise the Māori language and to raise their children together.
Children demonstrate whanaungatanga through positive interactions and meaningful relationships with others.
Children are supported to learn te reo Māori. Kaimahi use a range of strategies to consolidate and extend children’s knowledge and use of te reo Māori. Children are able to sing waiata, recite mihimihi and karakia without guidance from the kaimahi. The older children can hold conversations in te reo Māori. The younger children can associate words with pictures, people and things. Babies use body language and facial expressions to express their understanding of what is being said. Children are developing as confident speakers of te reo Māori.
Children participate in learning where their identity is nurtured. They have opportunities to interact with kaumātua and kuia. Kaimahi ensure that children are respectful at all times around their elders. Children are supported to chant tauparapara related to their iwi and hapū. They sing waiata about Horouta and Takitimu waka. Kaimahi encourage children to share their pepeha and whakapapa with others. The marae provides a place for children to learn about their roles and responsibilities as tangata whenua. They attend important events on the marae. The tikanga and kawa of Rongowhakaata is an important part of children’s learning. Children know who they are and where they come from.
Children experience an environment where relationships are meaningful. Most children and whānau have strong whakapapa connections. Kaimahi treat children with respect, understanding and care. These interactions support children to be considerate of others. The older children are encouraged to be supportive of their tēina. Tuākana are attentive and careful in their interactions with tēina. The younger children are very settled and trusting. Whanaungatanga enhances interactions in the kōhanga reo. Children appear secure and settled.
Children are encouraged to explore their surroundings. Their outdoor and natural spaces provide occasions where children are able to engage in learning that is meaningful to them. Kaimahi provide a range of resources that actively support children’s learning. Local knowledge is a major part of kaupapa ako. Planned trips enable the children to learn about different places, landmarks and spaces that are specific to Rongowhakaata. Children are encouraged to be creative and use their imagination. They are provided opportunities to follow their interests. Kaimahi attend to the various learning needs of children. Children are confident learners.
Kaimahi have effective processes for planning, assessment and programme evaluation. Kaimahi work together with parents to decide on a range of activities appropriate to children’s learning. Profile books are a record of children’s learning in action. Kaimahi also use Mātai i te Tamaiti reports to identify progress children are making against a set of criteria. Kaimahi are able to report to parents about their children’s learning and receive feedback. Kaimahi use programme evaluation to monitor the quality of the learning programme. Kaiako report to whānau hui about future plans and any changes that have been made to the programme. Children benefit when planning, assessment and evaluation practices focus on their learning needs.
The whānau manage their kōhanga reo well. There is a cycle of policy review and procedures are monitored well. Health and safety registers align to policies. Whānau use Te Taumata o Te Kaupapa regularly to guide them in ensuring that the building, along with the inside and outside environments, meet their expected standards of quality.
The whānau of the kōhanga reo show they are responsible employers. All employee documentation is current and in place. Kaimahi appraisals are complete. There is an ongoing focus on professional development. Self review is adequate. The whānau receive regular reports at their hui. These are related to the learning programme and finances. Strategic planning is informed by Te Ara Tūāpae. The whānau have goals and priorities in place to ensure long-term outcomes are realised. The current focus is the development of te reo Māori for whānau. An action plan monitors the achievement of goals. Children benefit when their future needs are considered.
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.
ERO recommends:
the whānau and kaimahi continue to maintain quality practices and their focus on ongoing improvement.
The next ERO evaluation of Te Kōhanga Reo o Manutuke will be in four years.
