What ERO found
The Education Review Office’s latest report on the school is a School Evaluation Report from October 2024. ERO found outcomes improving for some students but not others: a large majority gain NCEA Level 1, most gain Level 2 and a small majority gain Level 3, while less than half gain University Entrance, and there is significant disparity for Māori students at every level except NCEA Level 2.
Less than half of students attend regularly. On the positive side, ERO saw good relationships between students and staff in most classes, students who say the school feels safe and inclusive, and a growing partnership with iwi, including iwi representation on the board.
ERO asked the Ministry of Education for tailored support for the school, in addition to the limited statutory manager who had been appointed to the board. Its next steps are leadership training to drive change, a local curriculum that reflects te ao Māori and builds literacy and mathematics, dependable assessment across the school including Years 7 to 10, and a schoolwide approach to behaviour and attendance.
