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. E hāngai ana tēnei pūrongo ki ā rātou pūnaha, ki ā rātou whakaritenga, me ā rātou mahi whakahaere. Ka whakarato ngā pūrongo a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i ngā mōhiohio mātuatua mā ngā whānau, mā ngā hapū, me ngā iwi.
E tū ana Te Kura Mana Māori o Whangaparāoa ki te hapori o Whangaparāoa, ki Te Tai Rāwhiti. E tū ana te kura ki te taha o te marae o Kauaetangohia. Kei raro te kura i te maru o Ngā Kura ā Iwi o Aotearoa, ā, e whakarato ana i te mātauranga kaupapa Māori ki ngā ākonga o ngā tau 1 ki te 15. Nō nā noa nei Te Poumarumaru i whakatū ai i tētahi tumuaki hou.
I te pūrongo arotake o mua a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i te Hakihea o te tau 2023, i tautuhia ngā tūāhuatanga e whai ake nei, hei wāhanga ki te whakapai ake. Koia nei ngā Whakataunga mō ngā Whakapuakitanga i tēnei arotakenga:
He pēhea rawa te whakapai ake i ngā tūāhuatanga i te kura, hei whakatairanga ake i te taetae atu, te whai wāhi atu me te angitu a ngā uri, tae atu hoki ki tō rātou waiora?
Kua tino piki ake ngā tūāhuatanga i te kura hei whakatairanga ake i te taetae atu, te whai wāhi atu, me te angitu a ngā uri, tae atu hoki ki tō rātou waiora.
Ka whai wāhi atu ngā uri ki tētahi taiao ako e whakatōpū ana i ngā tikanga, ngā taunekeneke papai, me ngā rautaki whakaako i whakahāngaitia ai. E tūhono aua tūāhuatanga ki tō rātou ahurea mā ngā tikanga pērā i ngā karakia, ngā hīmene, me ngā waiata, ā, ka kawe atu hoki rātou i ngā whai wāhitanga ki te arataki i ngā wāhanga ōkawa, pērā i ngā mihimihi. Ka whakatauira ngā kaiako i te reo Māori, ka akiaki i te whakawhitinga kōrero mā ngā hanganga reo māmā. Ka whakamahi i ngā kīwaha me ngā whakataukī e whakawhānui ai i te mōhiotanga o ngā uri, i tā rātou whakamahi anō hoki i te reo Māori i roto i ngā horopaki o ia rā. Ko te whāinga o te tautoko ā-rōpū, tautoko takitahi hoki, ko te hāpai i te ahu whakamua a ngā uri, ā, ka whakapuaki i ngā whāinga ako hei whakakipakipa i te whai wāhi mai, hei akiaki anō hoki i a rātou ki te kōkiri i tā rātou ake ako. He ākonga mātātoa ngā uri, ā, ka whai wāhi atu ki ngā mahi tōpū e poipoi ana i te tuku wā ki tēnā me tēnā, i te mahi ngātahi anō hoki. Ko te whakanui me te whakamihi a ngā kaiako me ngā hoa e hāpai ana i te ngākau titikaha o ngā uri. Ka whakarato ngā tuākana i te ārahitanga e whai pūtake ana mō ō rātou tāina. Ka poipoia te oranga ā-tinana, ā-hinengaro hoki mā ngā taumahi pērā i te hākinakina me te kaiaka. Ka whai wāhi atu ngā uri ki ngā akoranga e poipoi ana i te whakawhanaketanga ā-ahurea, ā-tangata hoki, mā roto mai i te hapori o tō rātou kura.
Ka ako ngā uri mā roto mai i ngā tūāhuatanga e whakatairanga ana i te whanaungatanga. Ka ngākau nui rātou ki ngā whai wāhitanga ki te uru atu me te whakangungu hoki i roto i te tangongitanga o ngā kaupapa kaiaka, kaupapa hākinakina hoki. Ka whakarite ngā kaiako i ngā akoranga whakahihiri o te pāngarau me te reo matatini, ā, ka whakatakoto i ngā kēmu whakangahau, ngā rautaki whakapoutama, me te hangarau. Ka whakatairanga ngā kaiako i te ahurea o te whakaaro kaikini, ā, e taunga ana ngā uri ki te whakaputa i ō rātou whakaaro me te whakapuaki, te whiwhi hoki i ngā kōrero urupare kaikini ki waenga i a rātou anō. Kei te harikoa, kei te mauritau hoki ngā uri i roto i tā rātou ako.
E tohu ana ngā hōtuku o Te Taumata Mātauranga ā-Motu kua Taea mō te tau 2024 i te 67% o ngā uri o te Tau 11 i whakatutuki i te Taumata 1, ā, e 33% o rātou i whakamanatia ki te kaiaka. E 78% o ngā uri o te Tau 12 i whakatutuki i te Taumata 2, ā, 100% o ngā uri o te Tau 13 i whakatutuki i te Taumata 3, me te 14% anō hoki o rātou i whakamanatia ki te kaiaka. Tāpiri atu ki tēnā, i whiwhi te 14% o ngā uri o te Taumata 3 i te tiwhikete whare wānanga. E hāpaitia ana ngā uri o te wharekura kia eke ki tō rātou tino pūmanawa.
Kei te mātātoa Te Poumarumaru me ngā kaiārahi o te kura ki te hāpai i ngā uri, i ngā whānau, me te kura. Whai muri i te arotakenga o mua, kua toro atu rātou ki te tautoko me te whakawhanaketanga ngaio kia whai māramatanga ake ki ō rātou tūranga me ā rātou kawenga. Kua whakapakarihia e Te Whakarōpūtanga Kaitiaki Kura o Aotearoa me Ngā Kura ā Iwi o Aotearoa te mōhiotanga ngātahi o Te Poumarumaru, hei hāpai ake i a rātou ki te whakatutuki i ā rātou takohanga hei poumarumaru. E whakatakoto ana te mahere rautaki i te aronga e whakatairanga ana i te ako a ngā tamariki, me tō rātou waiora, tō rātou tuakiri hoki. Ka kapo atu ngā whāinga rautaki i ngā wawata o ngā whānau me ngā hapū. I kaha tautoko te Kaiwhakahaere Manatū ā-wā i te poari ki te whakatū i te tumuaki o tēnei wā, ā, kua tautokona ia e te whakatūnga o ngā kaimahi hou. Kua whakatūngia hoki tētahi rōpū ārahi hou hei arataki i te kura ki te whakatutuki i ngā whāinga rautaki me te marautanga. He pai te tautoko o Te Poumarumaru i ngā kaiārahi o te kura, hei āta whakatau i te whakatutukitanga o ngā tino painga mō ngā uri.
Me titiro ki te aromātai hōtaka. Kua arotakengia, kua whakatakotohia hoki e Te Poumarumaru ngā kaupapa here School Docs hei āta whakatau i te hāngaitanga ki ngā herenga ā-ture, heoi, he mea nui tonu kia āta whakatau ngā kaiārahi o te kura kia arahina ngā whakaritenga hauora, whakaritenga haumaru hoki o ia rā ki te kura e ngā tukanga i whakaraupapahia ai ki ngā kaupapa here. Tāpiri atu ki tēnā, kua kōrerohia e ngā kaiārahi o te kura, e tika ana kia arotakengia, kia whakahoungia hoki ngā uaratanga o te kura. E tautoko ana te aromātai nei i te papai o taua aronga mō tēnei wā, hei āta whakatau i te whakapuakitanga o ngā uara puta noa i ngā tini āhuatanga katoa o te kura.
Me whakapakari ake i te aromātai hōtaka. Hui ai ngā kaiako o te kura tuatahi i ia wiki, ā, ka kōkirihia ngā whakawhitinga kōrero huritao, heoi anō, kua tae ki te wā kia arotahi ngā kaiako ki ngā aronga whai rongoā e whakapai ake ai i ngā whakaritenga o te whakaako me te ako. He mea nui kia tautuhi ngā wāhanga matua hei whakapai ake, me te whakawhanake, te whakatinana hoki i ngā rautaki mahi ka whakatutuki pū i ngā wāhanga i tautuhia ai hei whakapai ake. Ka taea te ako a ngā uri te whakatairanga ake mā te aromātai hōtaka e aro matua ana ki tā rātou ahu whakamua, ā, ka ārahi hoki i te whakapai tonutanga o ā rātou akoranga.
Ko ngā mahi aromatawai, ko te whakatakoto taumata hoki ētahi wāhanga hei whakapakari ake. Kei te ngoikore aua tūāhuatanga i tēnei wā. Kāhore ngā aromatawai e tautuhi ana, e arotahi ana rānei ki ngā matea o ngā uri katoa, ki ngā wāhanga rānei o te marau e tohu ana i te whitiwhiti o ngā whakatutukitanga. Kāhore rānei e whakatakoto ana i ngā tūmanako teitei e kōkiri ai i te ahu whakamua o aua uri. Kua tautuhia e ngā kaiārahi o te kura, e tika ana kia kōkiri ake i te ako me ngā paetae, inarā mō rātou o te Tau 7 me te Tau 8. E tautoko ana te aromātai nei i taua tūāhuatanga. I tēnei wā he iti noa ngā hōtuku e wātea ana e tohu ai i te āhua o te tautoko i ngā uri kia eke rātou ki ō rātou pūmanawa. Tāpiri atu ki tēnā, he mea nui anō hoki kia whakatinanahia e ngā kaiako o te Tau 9 me te Tau 10 tētahi tukanga aromatawai auau, kia pai ake ai te aru me te aroturuki i tā rātou ahu whakamua. Ka whakatairangatia te ahu whakamua a ngā uri mā te whakapaitanga ake o ngā mahi aromatawai.
I mua i te aromātai, i whakatutukihia e te poari kaitiaki me te tumuaki he Tauāki Kupu Tūturu a Te Poumarumaru me tētahi Rārangi Arowhai Tātari Whaiaro. I roto i aua tuhinga i oati rātou i whāia e rātou ngā huarahi whai take hei whakatutuki i ā rātou herenga ā-ture e pā ana ki:
I te wā o te aromātai, i whakamātauhia e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga ngā āhuatanga i raro iho nei, i te mea he nui te pānga o ēnei ki te haumaru me te waiora o ngā ākonga:
E taunaki ana Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga kia whakaritea ngā whakaritenga pakari o te aromātai o roto hei poipoi i ngā putanga e whai hua ai ki ngā uri.

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. This report reflects their systems, operations and management practices. The ERO reports provide important information for whānau, hapū and iwi.
Te Kura Mana Māori o Whangaparaoa is located in the Eastern Bay of Plenty community of Whangaparaoa. The kura sits adjacent to Te Marae o Kauaetangohia. The kura is affiliated to Ngā Kura-ā-Iwi o Aotearoa (NKaI) and provides kaupapa Māori education from Years 1-15. The Poumarumaru has recently appointed a new tumuaki.
The ERO December 2023 review report identified the following as requiring improvement. These formed the Terms of Reference for this review:
Kura conditions have significantly improved to promote uri attendance, engagement, success and wellbeing.
Uri experience a learning environment that blends tikanga, positive interactions, and tailored teaching strategies. They connect to their heritage through cultural practices like karakia, hīmene, and waiata, and take on opportunities to lead formal aspects such as mihimihi. Kaiako model te reo Māori, encouraging communication through simple language structures. Kīwaha and whakataukī are used to extend uri knowledge and use of te reo Māori in everyday contexts. Group-based and individual support aim to progress uri, while sharing whāinga ako to motivate engagement and encourage them to take agency over their learning. Uri are active learners who engage in collaborative activities that foster turn-taking and cooperation. Praise and acknowledgment from kaiako and peers support uri confidence. Tuākana provide meaningful guidance for their taina. Physical and mental well-being is nurtured through activities like hākinakina/kaiaka. Uri engage in learning that fosters cultural and social development within their kura community.
Uri learn in conditions that promotes whanaungatanga. They enjoy opportunities to engage and train in a variety of athletics and sports. Kaiako prepare engaging numeracy and literacy sessions that include fun games, scaffolding strategies, and the use of technology. Kaiako promote a culture of critical thinking where uri are comfortable to present their ideas and provide and receive critical feedback from one another. Uri appear happy and settled in their learning.
The 2024 National Certificate in Education Achievement (NCEA) data shows that 67% of Year 11 uri achieved Level 1 with 33% being endorsed with merit. 78% Year 12 uri achieved Level 2 and 100% Year 13 uri achieved NCEA Level 3 with 14% uri being endorsed with merit. Additionally, 14% of the Level 3 uri gained university entrance. Wharekura uri are supported to realise their potential.
The poumarumaru and kura leaders actively serve uri, whānau and the kura. Since the previous review, they have sought support and professional development to understand their roles and responsibilities. New Zealand School Boards Association and Ngā Kura ā Iwi o Aotearoa (NKaI) have strengthened their collective knowledge to better enable them to meet their obligations as poumarumaru. The strategic plan provides direction that promotes tamariki learning, wellbeing and identity. Strategic objectives encapsulate whānau and hapū aspirations. The Limited Statutory Manager aptly supported the board to appoint the current tumuaki who has been supported through the appointments of new staff. A new leadership team has been established to lead the kura to achieve the strategic goals and curriculum. The poumarumaru provide good support to kura leaders to ensure positive outcomes for uri are realised.
Internal evaluation requires attention. Although the poumarumaru have reviewed and adopted School Docs policies to ensure alignment to legislation, it is important for school leaders to ensure the day-to-day health and safety practices of the kura are clearly guided by the procedures as outlined in the policies. Additionally, the school leaders have expressed a need to review and update the kura uaratanga. This evaluation supports this as a timely exercise to ensure the expressed values are permeated throughout all aspects of the kura as enacted values.
Programme evaluation requires strengthening. Whilst weekly hui with kura tuatahi kaiako facilitate reflective discussions, it is timely for kaiako to focus on solution-focused approaches to improve teaching and learning practices. It is important to not only identify key areas for improvement, but also to develop and implement actionable strategies that directly address them. Uri learning can be enhanced through programme evaluation that prioritises their progress and guides continuous improvement in their learning.
Assessment practice and target setting needs to be strengthened. Currently these lack rigour. Assessments do not identify or focus on the needs of all uri or curriculum areas where disparities occur. Neither do they set high expectations for accelerating the progress of those uri. Kura leaders have identified the need to accelerate learning and achievement, especially those in Years 7 and 8. This evaluation supports that. There is currently limited data available to show how uri are supported to realise their potential. Additionally, it is equally important for Years 9 and 10 kaiako to implement a regular assessment process to better track and monitor their progress. Uri progress will be enhanced through improved assessment practices.
Before the evaluation, the board of trustees and tumuaki completed the ERO Te Poumarumaru Assurance Statement and Self-Audit Checklists. In these documents they attested that they had taken all reasonable steps to meet their legislative obligations related to:
During the evaluation, ERO checked at the following items because they have a potentially high impact on student safety and wellbeing:
ERO recommend establishing robust internal evaluation practices to nurture positive outcomes for uri.

Kua 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. E hāngai ana tēnei pūrongo ki ā rātou pūnaha, ki ā rātou whakaritenga, me ā rātou mahi whakahaere. Ka whakarato ngā pūrongo a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i ngā mōhiohio mātuatua mā ngā whānau, mā ngā hapū, me ngā iwi.
‘E whai ana i ngā tapuwae o ngā mātua tīpuna kia tū rangatira ai ngā mokopuna’
E tū ana Te Kura Mana Māori o Whangaparāoa ki te Tai Rāwhiti, ki Whangaparāoa, ki te taha o tō rātou marae, o Kauaetangohia. Nō Te Whānau-a-Apanui ngā uri me ngā whānau. E whakarato ana Te Kura Mana Māori o Whangaparāoa i te mātauranga kaupapa Māori mā ngā ākonga o ngā tau 1 ki te 15.
Ko te eke angitu ā-mātauranga o ngā uri mā te reo Māori te aronga matua i te tīmatanga o te aromātai nei. Heoi, i te taenga atu a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga ki te kura, ka kitea te maha o ngā take āwangawanga e pā ana ki te haumaru me te waiora o ngā uri. Nā taua tūāhuatanga, i whakahāngai anōtia te aromātai kia aro kē ki te hauora me te haumaru o ngā uri, ki te whakatutukitanga o ngā herenga ā-ture me ngā waeture o te wā, me te whai huatanga o ngā mahi kāwana, te ārahi, te whakaako, me te ako.
Kāhore i te rawaka ngā mahi kāwana. Kāhore Te Poumarumaru e aromātai auau ana i ngā wāhanga whakahaere, tae atu ki ngā tukanga e aroturuki ai i ngā matea ā-hauora, ā-haumaru, ā-waiora hoki o ngā uri. Ko ngā kaupapa here matua o te hauora me te haumaru, kāhore anō kia hainatia, kia tohungia rānei ki te rā, ā, kāhore hoki e hāngai ana ki ngā herenga ā-ture o tēnei wā. Ko ngā pūnaha, ngā tukanga, me ngā huarahi mahi mō te whakahaeretanga i te haumaru o ngā uri i ia rā, kāhore e māramahia ana, e whāia ana rānei i ngā wā katoa. Kei te haere tonu ētahi tino take e pā ana ki ngā hononga tāngata, tae atu hoki ki ngā āwangawanga me ngā amuamu o roto, o waho hoki i te kura kua puta mai i ngā kaimahi, i ngā mātua, me te hapori whānui. He maha tonu o aua take kei te kōhukihuki, kei te tārewa tonu. Ka rongo i te aronga matakana, i te noho wehewehe hoki o te hapori ki te kura. Kei te tino whakamōrearea i te hauora me te haumaru o ngā uri.
Kāhore ngā mahi ārahi me ngā mahi whakahaere e whai hua ana. Nā te nui o ngā whakarerekētanga ki te ārahitanga me ngā tūranga kaimahi, nā te ngoikore hoki o ngā pūnaha me ngā tukanga, kua ara ake te pāhekeheke me te rangirua ki ngā kaimahi, ngā mātua, me te whānau whānui. He iti noa ngā kitenga e mea ana kei te āta tautokona te tumuaki whakakapi i roto i āna mahi ki te ārahi me te hautū i te kura i tēnei wā pāhekeheke. Nā te kore ārahi i te tikanga ako i te kura, kei te mahi taratahi ētahi o ngā kaimahi, ā, kāhore e whiwhi ana i te ārahitanga ngaio e whai hua ana. Kei te tino whakamōrearea i te angitu o ngā uri.
Kei te taurangi te kounga o te whakaako me te ako. Tērā ētahi tauira o ngā whakaritenga papai, engari kāhore i te riterite puta noa i te kura. I ngā akomanga i kitea e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga ngā whakaritenga papai, i whakamahi ngā kaiako i te tangongitanga o ngā rautaki whakaako e whai pūtake ana, ā, i te mauritau ngā uri, i te whai wāhi nui rātou, ā, i te kōkiri hoki rātou i ā rātou ake akoranga. Engari, kāhore ngā kaiako e whiwhi ana i ngā tino aratohu mō te āta aromatawai me te āta whakamahere i te ahu whakamua me ngā whakatutukitanga o ngā uri. Ko tētahi take āwangawanga, ko te pono me te tika o ngā hōtuku aromatawai mō ngā tau 1 ki te 10. He whai wāhitanga mō ngā uri o ngā tau 9 me te 10 ki te uru ki Te Taumata Mātauranga ā-Motu kua Taea i roto i te reo Māori me te Toi Whakaari Māori. Ka kitea ki ngā hōtuku o Te Taumata Mātauranga ā-Motu kua Taea, kei te whakatutuki te nuinga o ngā ākonga i ngā whiwhinga o ngā Taumata 1 ki te 3. He ruarua noa e whiwhi ana i ngā whakamanatanga, e whakamātau ana rānei i te Tiwhikete Whakauru Whare Wānanga. Kāhore anō kia whakatinanahia te pitomata o ngā uri.
Ko te kounga o te mātauranga, te mahi kāwana, me te ārahitanga, he take āwangawanga ki tā Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga titiro. Me tahuri wawe ki ngā wāhanga e whai ake nei, arā: ki:

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. This report reflects their systems, operations and management practices. ERO’s reports provide important information for whānau, hapū and iwi.
‘E whai ana i ngā tapuwae o ngā mātua tīpuna kia tū rangatira ai ngā mokopuna’
Te Kura Mana Māori ō Whangaparāoa is located on the east coast at Cape Runaway. The kura sits adjacent
to their marae, Kauaetangohia. Uri and whānau have iwi affiliations to Te Whānau a Apanui. Te Kura Mana Māori ō Whangaparāoa provides kaupapa Māori education from Years 1-15.
How well do uri achieve success academically in te reo Māori?
Academic success, for uri, in te reo Māori was the initial key focus of this evaluation. However, once ERO was on site, it became evident that there were a significant number of concerns for the safety and wellbeing of uri. This led to a refocused evaluation that prioritised the health and safety of uri, compliance with current legislation and regulations, and effective governance, leadership, teaching and learning.
Governance is inadequate. The poumarumaru have failed to regularly evaluate areas of operation including processes that monitor the health, safety and wellbeing needs of uri. Critical health and safety policies are not signed, dated, and do not reflect current legislation. Systems, processes and procedures for the
day-to-day management of uri safety are not always understood or followed. Significant relational issues, including internal and external concerns and complaints from staff, parents and the wider community are ongoing. Many of these are ongoing and unresolved. A culture of mistrust and community division prevails the kura. Uri health and safety is seriously at risk.
Leadership and management are ineffective. Significant leadership and staffing changes and the lack of systems and processes have created uncertainty and confusion for staff, parents and the wider whānau. There is little evidence to show that the acting tumuaki is being effectively supported to guide and lead the kura through this period of instability. An absence of pedagogical leadership schoolwide has resulted in some staff working in isolation without effective professional guidance. Uri success is highly compromised.
The quality of teaching and learning is variable. While there are some examples of good practice this is not consistent across the kura. In classrooms where ERO observed good practice, kaiako used a range of purposeful teaching strategies, and uri were settled, engaged and leading their own learning. However, kaiako are not provided with effective guidelines to effectively assess and plan for uri progress and achievement. The validity and reliability of the assessment data in Years 1 to 10 is of concern. Uri in Years 9 and 10 are provided the opportunity to sit the National Certificate of Educational Achievement (NCEA) in te reo Māori and Māori performing arts. NCEA data shows that most students are achieving in Levels 1 to 3. Very few achieve endorsements or sit University Entrance. Uri potential is yet to be fully realised.

Ko Tihirau te maunga Ko Whangaparāoa te awa Ko Tauira mai Tawhiti te waka Ko Kauaetangohia te hapū Ko Te Whānau-ā-Apanui te iwi E whai ana i ngā tapuwae o ngā mātua tīpuna kia tū rangatira ai ngā mokopuna
Ko Te Kura Mana Māori o Whangaparāoa tētahi kura hiato e noho tuawhenua ana ki Whangaparāoa, ki te rāwhiti o Ōpōtiki. E whakarato ana te kura i te mātauranga rumaki reo Māori mō ngā ākonga o ngā tau 1 ki te 15, kei raro i te maru o Ngā Kura ā-Iwi o Aotearoa. Ko Kauaetangohia te hapū, ko Te Whānau-ā-Apanui te iwi. Ka whai wāhi te kura ki te pūtake o ngā tūmomo kaupapa taumahi a te whānau, te marae, me tōna hapori whānui.
Ko tā te whānau tirohanga, he whakawhanake i te mana motuhake, te ngākau titikaha, te whakaaweawe, te ihumanea, me te whakatakotoranga whakaaro hoki o ō rātou uri, kia whai wāhi nui rātou ki te ao whānui, kia tūroa hoki tā rātou whai i te mātauranga. Whai muri i te arotake o mua a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i te tau 2012, kua whakatuwheratia ētahi whare ako moroki, kua whakaurua ngā rauemi hangarau ki roto i ngā hōtaka akoranga, ā, kua whakawhanakehia tētahi mahere tauatanga, hei āhuatanga tonu o tā rātou whakawhanaketanga rautaki.
He ngākau titikaha, he manawa whakahī hoki tō ngā uri mō ō rātou hononga hei uri o Te Whānau-ā-Apanui.
Kei te mārama ki ngā uri te whakahirahiratanga o te ūkaipōtanga. He mārama te tirohanga me te mahere rautaki a Te Poumarumaru, ā, e arotahi ana ki te poipoi i te tuakiri, te reo, me te ahurea o Te Whānau-ā-Apanui. Kua tāngia tā rātou tirohanga ki roto i te arā takahanga, hei tohu e whakamaumahara ana i tōna whakahirahiratanga ki ngā uri me te whānau. E whakapūmau ana te taiao i Te Whānau-ā-Apanuitanga, hei tino āhuatanga matua tonu o ngā akoranga a ngā uri. Hei tauira, kei ngā kūaha karaehe o te whare rahi rawa o ngā whare katoa te moki e whakaatuhia ana, hei tohu i te whakahirahiratanga o te moki ki Te Whānau-ā-Apanui. E tū tangata ana ngā ākonga hei uri o Te Whānau-ā-Apanui.
Ka ako ngā uri i ō rātou tātai whakapapa. Ka ārahi ngā kuia me ngā kaumātua i ngā tikanga, hei āta whakarite i te hāngaitanga o ngā whakahaeretanga o te kura ki te āhua o ngā whakaaro, te tū, te whai oranga, me te ako o Te Whānau-ā-Apanui. Ka toro atu ngā wheako ako o ngā uri ki ngā marae katoa, huri noa i te takutai o Te Whānau-ā-Apanui, ā, ki tua atu hoki. Ka hāngai ngā kaupapa ako ki tēnā e noho whakahirahira ana ki te whānau, te hapū, me te iwi. Ko tētahi o aua kaupapa ako, ko te whai i ngā kōrero tuku iho e pā ana ki ō rātou tīpuna, hei tūhonohono atu ki ngā whānau, ngā hapū me te iwi. He whai wāhitanga mō ngā uri ki te ārahi i ngā kaupapa ahurea, me te ako mai i ētahi atu. Ka whakakoia, ka whakapūmautia, ka whakanuia hoki ā rātou whakamātau e te whānau. Ka whakatinana ngā uri i ngā uaratanga me ngā tikanga o Te Whānau-ā-Apanui.
E whakawhanake ana ngā uri i tō rātou māramatanga ki tō rātou whai wāhi nui ki a Whangaparāoa. Ko te tauutuutu o ngā hononga tētahi āhuatanga matua o te noho ki Whangaparāoa. E ahu mai ana ngā hononga i te whakaute o tēnā me tēnā ki te mana whenua, ā, i te noho maioha anō hoki ki te taiao me tō rātou hapori iti. E noho tuwhera ana te kura, ā, nā tēnei ka tūtaki ngā uri ki ngā tūmomo tira haere ka taetae mai ki Whangaparāoa. He whānui ngā tūmomo kaupapa e whakarauika ana i ngā tira ki te kura – mai i ngā haerenga ka pupū noa ake, ki ērā i āta whakaritea ai i mua. E ākina ana te kawe a ngā uri i ngā tira ki ngā tūmomo pouwhenua o te hapori, ā, ka whakapuaki rātou i ngā hītori me ngā kōrero e pā ana ki te hapū. He mātātoa tā rātou whai wāhi atu ki ngā kaupapa ahurea, kaupapa hākinakina a te hapū, te iwi, me te hapori. He whai wāhitanga mō rātou ki te haereere hei kanohi mō te kura, otirā, mō ō rātou whānau, ō rātou hapū, me tō rātou iwi. He tau ngā uri ki ō rātou tūranga me ā rātou kawenga mahi hei tangata whenua.
E whakawhanake ana ngā uri i tō rātou mātau ki tō rātou reo ā-iwi. He nui ngā tūmanako o Te Poumarumaru, kia whanake te mātau o ngā uri ki te kōrero me te pānui i te reo Māori. Whai wāhi ai ngā kaumātua me ngā kuia ki ngā kaupapa o te kura whānui, hei whakatauira i te mita o Kauaetangohia me Te Whānau-ā-Apanui. Ka kōrero, ka whakatauira hoki ngā kaiako i te reo Māori. Haere ai ngā uri ki ngā kaupapa ōkawa a te hapū me te iwi i ia te wā, ā, ka rongo rātou i te reo ki te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo horopaki ako. Ka ako ngā tamariki tēina i te reo ōkawa o te mihi, te pepeha, me te whakapapa, hei whakawhanake i ngā hanganga reo papai. Ka rongo rātou i te mita o te hapū me te iwi ki te marae, ā, ki ngā kaupapa me ngā huihuinga hoki o te hapori me te kura. E taea ana e ngā uri tokomaha te ako mā te rumaki reo Māori, ā, ka tautokona tā rātou whakatōpū, tā rātou whakawhānui hoki i tō rātou reo. Me whiwhi ētahi o ngā uri i te tautoko e āta hāngai pū ana ki a rātou, kia eke angitu ai tā rātou ako mā te rumaki reo Māori.
E whai wāhi ana ngā uri ki tētahi marautanga whānui. He pakari ngā uri i te kura tuatahi me te wharekura ki te āta whakamahi i te hangarau matihiko, hei āhuatanga tonu o ā rātou akoranga. Kua āta whakaritea ngā wāhi ako mō ngā reanga o te kura tuatahi me te wharekura, ā, ka whakarato anō hoki mō ngā uri e mau ana i ētahi atu matea ako. He whānui ngā tūmomo huarahi tautoko i roto i ngā whakaakoranga me ngā akoranga. He kaiāwhina mātanga e hāpai ana i ngā matea ako o ngā uri. Kei aua uri ā rātou ake mahere mātauranga i whakatakotohia ai ki te taha o te whānau, ngā kaiako, me te Kaiako Takawaenga o te Ako me te Whanonga. Kua whakaritea e ngā kaiako ngā mahinga ako, a, ka whakaako rātou i ngā rōpū iti o ngā uri, i te toenga o ngā tamariki e ako takitahi ana. E hāpaitia ana te ako a ngā uri.
Ka kitea te tino tūmāia o ngā uri ki te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo horopaki. E mōhiotia ana, e ākina ana hoki e te whānau ō rātou uri, ā, ka āta whakawhanake i ngā taunekeneke manaaki, ka tautoko hoki rātou i ngā uri ki te āta whakatutuki i ō rātou pūmanawa. Ka whakanuia ngā mahi angitu, ā, ka āta whakaatuhia ngā whakatutukitanga ki ngā pakitara o ngā akomanga me te tari matua. Ka whakaatuhia e ngā uri ā rātou akoranga ki te hapori i ngā hui e tū ai i te mutunga o ia wāhanga. Ko ngā uri e mau ana i ngā matea ako whānui ka tautokona e ngā mātanga, pērā i ngā kaiāwhina me ngā ratonga tautoko mātauranga o waho e hāpai ana i ngā whakaakoranga me ngā akoranga. E whanake ana ngā uri i tō rātou whakapono ki a rātou anō, ā, e noho hihiri ana hei ākonga.
E whiwhi ana ngā uri i ngā painga e ahu mai ana i ngā pūkenga me te matatau o ō rātou kaiako me tō rātou whānau. He kaiako tautōhito ētahi, he kaiako hou ētahi. Ka whakaaro huritao ngā kaiako, ā, ka kitea tō rātou āheinga ki te whakawhānui tonu i ō rātou pūkenga me ō rātou mōhiotanga. Ka whakamahi ētahi o ngā kaiako i ngā taiao ako moroki, ā, e tūhura ana rātou me pēhea rawa te whakatōpū me te whakapuaki i ngā aronga auaha ki te whakaako. Nā te āhua o te whakawhanaketanga ngaio, e āhei ana ētahi o ngā kaiako ki te whai whakaaro ki ngā huarahi ka whakatōpū ake i ngā aronga ki ngā whakaakoranga me ngā akoranga, i runga anō i te ahu whakamua o te kura ā meāke nei. Kei te harikoa ngā uri, ā, e whai wāhi nui ana rātou ki ngā akoranga.
Tērā ētahi uri kāhore anō kia riro ngā pūkenga reo ka hāpai i tā rātou āta whai wāhi nui ki te ako mā te rumaki reo Māori. Ki ētahi o ngā akomanga, ka kōrero ngā uri i te reo Pākehā i te nuinga o te wā, ā, e pā tōraro ana taua āhuatanga ki ētahi atu e ako ana, e kōrero ana hoki mā te reo Māori. I tohu ki ngā tātari ka puta i ngā hōtuku reo matatini o te tau 2016, kāhore ētahi o ngā uri e eke ana i ngā taumata kia pērā ki ō rātou hoa, ā, me whiwhi rātou i te tautoko ki te āta whakawhiti atu ki te taiao rumaki reo Māori. E mōhio ana ngā kaiako, ko te whakarerekē haere i te hōtaka, ka hāpai ake i aua uri. E tūhura ana rātou i ngā aronga auaha ki te waihanga i te marautanga, me ngā tikanga ako ka aro nui ki ngā tūmomo matea o ngā uri. Ka hāngai hoki tēnei ki te whakamahi i ngā wheako ako ngaio, me te rangahau i ngā aronga hou ki te whakatairanga i te whakawhanaketanga reo me ngā whanonga ako.
Kua piki ake te tokomaha o ngā uri e whakauru mai ana ki te kura i roto i ngā tau tata kua pahure ake nei. I te tatauranga o ngā ākonga e tupu haere ana ki te wharekura, he mea nui anō hoki te whai whakaaro me pēhea te whakawhānui ake i ngā huarahi umanga, huarahi mātauranga hoki e wātea ana ki ngā ākonga tuākana, i runga anō i ō rātou ake ngākau nuitanga me ō rātou ake pūmanawa. E whakamātau ana ngā kaiako i ētahi tūmomo aronga ka hāpai ake i ngā huarahi ka whāia tonuhia e ngā uri.
E hāngai ana te ārahitanga o te kura ki te tirohanga e pā ana ki te eke angitu o ngā uri. E arotahi ana Te Poumarumaru me te rōpū ārahi ki te whakapakari i te āheinga ki te ārahi. Ahakoa e ako ana ētahi o ngā mema o Te Poumarumaru i tō rātou tū ki te kāwana, ka tautoko tonuhia rātou hei whakapakari i tō rātou māramatanga ki ngā tūranga me ngā kawenga mahi e pā ana ki ngā mahi kāwana.
Ka mahi ngātahi ngā kaiārahi matua me Te Poumarumaru ki te aroturuki me te pūrongo i ngā paetae ākonga o te kura. Kua tāutuhia ki tā rātou tātari ngā wāhanga ka whai pānga ki ngā paetae a ngā uri, tae atu hoki ki:
E whakatinana ana te aromātai o roto i ngā whakataunga. Hui ai Te Poumarumaru i ia te wā ki te arotake i ngā kaupapa here, ngā whakaritenga, me ētahi atu kawenga mahi e pā ana ki te kāwana i te kura. Mahi ngātahi ai Te Poumarumaru me ngā kaiwhakahaere matua i ia te wā, ki te tātari me te whakawhiti kōrero mō ngā hōtuku ā-kura, hei whakatairanga i ngā paetae uri mā te tāutu i ngā matea ako me ngā mahere, ā, hei piki ake i te kounga o ngā putanga ki ngā uri. Ka hui ngā kaiako ki te arotake i ā rātou whakaritenga whakaako, ngā taumahi, me ngā kaupapa, me te whakamahere anō hoki ki te whakapai ake.
I mua atu i te whakahaerenga o te arotake i whakatutukihia e Te Poumarumaru me te tumuaki tētahi Tauāki Kupu Tūturu a Te Poumarumaru mā Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga, me tētahi Rārangi Arowhai Tātari Whaiaro. I roto i ēnei tuhinga i oati rātou i whāia e rātou ngā huarahi whai take hei whakatutuki i ā rātou herenga ā-ture e pā ana ki:
I te wā o te arotake, i whakamātauhia e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga ngā āhuatanga i raro iho nei, i te mea he nui te pānga o ēnei ki ngā paetae o ngā ākonga:
I whakawhanakehia e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga me Te Poumarumaru ngā taunakitanga e whai ake nei, arā:
Tērā ka whakahaeretia e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga te arotake whai muri o Te Kura Mana Māori o Whangaparāoa i roto i ngā tau e toru.

Ko Tihirau te maunga Ko Whangaparāoa te awa Ko Tauira mai Tawhiti te waka Ko Kauaetangohia te hapū Ko Te Whānau-ā-Apanui te iwi E whai ana i ngā tapuwae o ngā mātua tīpuna kia tū rangatira ai ngā mokopuna
Te Kura Mana Māori o Whangaparāoa is a rural composite school located at Cape Runaway, east of Ōpōtiki. The kura provides Māori medium education for Year 1-15 students and affiliates to Ngā Kura ā Iwi o Aotearoa. The local hapū is Kauaetangohia and the iwi is Te Whānau-ā-Apanui. The kura is central to the activities of the whānau, the marae and its community.
The whānau vision is to develop their uri as autonomous, confident, influential, intelligent, decision makers who contribute to society as lifelong learners. Since the previous ERO review in 2012, new modern learning buildings were opened, technological resources have been implemented into learning programmes, and a succession plan has been developed as part of their strategic
Uri are confident and proud of their connections to Te Whānau-ā-Apanui.
Uri understand the importance of ūkaipōtanga. The Poumarumaru has a clear vision and strategic plan focussed on fostering Te Whānau-ā-Apanui identity, language and culture. This vision is also etched into the pavement reminding uri and whānau of its importance. The physical environment reinforces Te Whānau-ā-Apanuitanga as an integral part of the learning for uri. The moki, for example, is displayed on the glass doors of the largest whare signifying its prominence to Te Whānau-ā-Apanui. Uri identify as descendants of Te Whānau-ā-Apanui.
Uri learn about their ancestral connections. Kuia and kaumātua lead tikanga ensuring that kura operations align with Te Whānau-ā-Apanui ways of thinking, being, living and learning. Learning experiences for uri extend across all of the marae along the coast of Te Whānau-ā-Apanui and beyond. Kaupapa ako reflect what is important to whānau, hapū and iwi. This includes retracing the history of their ancestors to make connections with whānau, hapū and iwi. Uri have opportunities to lead cultural activities and learn from others. Their efforts are affirmed, reinforced and celebrated by whānau. Uri practice the values and tikanga of Te Whānau-ā-Apanui.
Uri are developing an understanding about their place in Whangaparāoa. Reciprocal relationships are an integral part of living in Whangaparāoa. The relationships are based on mutual respect for mana whenua, appreciation of the environment and their small community. The kura has an open door policy, which enables uri to meet different groups and organisations visiting Whangaparāoa. These vary from spontaneous to pre-organised occasions. Uri are encouraged to take groups to local landmarks where they share the histories and stories of the hapū. They actively participate in hapū, iwi and community cultural and sporting activities. They have opportunities to travel as ambassadors of the kura, representing their whānau, hapū and iwi. Uri are comfortable with their roles and responsibilities as tangata whenua.
Uri are developing proficiency in their local dialect. The Poumarumaru has high expectations for uri to develop as competent speakers and readers of te reo Māori. Kaumātua and kuia regularly participate in school wide activities to model the dialect of Kauaetangohia and Te Whānau-ā-Apanui. Kaiako are speakers and role models of te reo Māori. Uri regularly attend formal hapū and iwi events to hear the language in a variety of learning contexts. Younger uri learn the formal language of mihi, pepeha and whakapapa to develop good language structure. They hear hapū and iwi specific dialect on the marae, at community events and school functions. Many uri with the ability to learn in a Māori medium pathway are supported to consolidate and extend their language. Some uri require focussed support to experience success in a Māori medium setting.
Uri experience a broad curriculum. Uri in both the kura tuatahi and wharekura confidently use digital technology as part of their learning. There are dedicated learning areas for primary and secondary aged uri as well as provision for uri with additional learning needs. There are a range of supports for teaching and learning. Specialist kaiāwhina provide support for uri with learning needs. These uri have their own individual education plans (IEP), created in consultation with whānau, kaiako and the resource teacher of learning and behaviour (RTLB). Kaiako have established learning routines and teach small groups while other uri are learning independently. Uri are supported in their learning.
Uri show high levels of confidence in a wide range of contexts. Whānau know and encourage their uri, develop caring interactions and support them to realise their potential. Successes are praised and achievements are proudly displayed on classroom walls and in the main office. Uri showcase their learning to the community in a hui at the end of each term. Uri with diverse learning needs are supported by specialists such as kaiāwhina and external education support for teaching and learning. Uri are developing self-belief as excited learners.
Uri benefit from the skills and experience of their kaiako and whānau. There are a mix of experienced and new teachers. Kaiako are reflective and demonstrate capability to continue extending their skills and knowledge. Some kaiako use modern learning environments and are exploring how best to collaborate and share innovative teaching approaches. Professional development is enabling some kaiako to consider more collaborative approaches of teaching and learning in line with future direction of the kura. Uri are happy and engaged learners.
There are a number of uri who do not yet have the language skills to participate fully in an immersion learning environment. In some classes, uri speak English for most of the time which is impacting on other learners and speakers of te reo Māori. Analysis of literacy data from 2016 highlighted that some uri are not achieving as well as their peers, and required support to transition successfully into an immersion setting. Kaiako acknowledge changes to the programme will better support these uri. They are exploring innovative approaches to curriculum design and pedagogy to respond to the different needs of uri. This includes using professional learning experiences and researching new approaches to enhance language development and learning behaviours.
There has been an increase of uri enrolling in the kura over recent years. As the number of uri in the wharekura grows, it is also important to consider how to extend the range of vocational and academic pathways available to senior students in line with their particular interests and talents. Kaiako are trialling different approaches to better support the future pathways of uri.
Leadership in the kura aligns with the vision for uri success. The Poumarumaru and leadership team are focussed on building leadership capability. Although some Poumarumaru members are learning about their governance role, ongoing support is provided to strengthen their understanding about governance roles and responsibilities.
Senior leadership work collaboratively with the Poumarumaru to monitor and report school-wide achievement data. Their analysis has identified areas that will contribute to uri achievement including:
Internal evaluation informs decision making. The Poumarumaru meet regularly to review policies, practices and other governance responsiblities. The Poumarumaru regularly work in partnership with senior leaders to analyse and discuss school-wide data to raise uri achievement by idenitfying learning needs and planning accordingly to lift the quality of outcomes for uri. Kaiako meet to review their teaching practices, activities, events and plan for improvement.
Before the evaluation, the Poumarumaru and principal completed the ERO Te Poumarumaru Assurance Statement and Self-Audit Checklists. In these documents they attested that they had taken all reasonable steps to meet their legislative obligations related to:
board administration
curriculum
management of health, safety and welfare
personnel management
financial management
asset management.
During the evaluation, ERO checked the following items because they have a potentially high impact on student safety and wellbeing:
emotional safety of students (including prevention of bullying and sexual harassment)
physical safety of students
teacher registration and certification
processes for appointing staff
stand-downs, suspensions, expulsions and exclusions
attendance
compliance with the Vulnerable Children’s Act 2014.
ERO and Poumarumaru developed the following recommendations:
consider how best to support all uri to achieve high levels of language competence in line with the aspirations and vision for the kura
explore and implement a range of approaches that continue to build kaiako capability and promote greater kura-wide collaboration in teaching and learning.
The next ERO evaluation of Te Kura Mana Māori o Whangaparāoa will be within 3 years.
