What ERO found
The Education Review Office’s latest report on the kura is a Ngā Kitenga Arotake Report from November 2024, written in te reo Māori and English.
ERO found a warm, settled setting grounded in Te Aho Matua and Māori values, where students use te reo Māori comfortably through the day and grow as speakers, readers and writers in both te reo Māori and English.
Te Arawa and Ngāti Hurungaterangi history runs through the learning programme. ERO noted that most students were making good progress in Poutama Tau and Pānui Pukapuka, that a targeted push lifted pāngarau results for Years 5 and 6, and that most wharekura students gain NCEA Levels 1, 2 and 3, some with endorsements. Whānau take an active part in running the kura.
ERO’s main next step was the professional growth cycle for kaiako, which had not yet been fully put in place.
The board has committed to building kaiako knowledge of Te Aho Matua and teaching practice, and to making the cycle show more clearly how each kaiako is progressing against the profession’s standards. ERO recommended the whānau keep working with Te Rūnanga Nui o Ngā Kura Kaupapa Māori o Aotearoa on these steps.
Enrolling
The kura has no home zone, so any student can apply. Te reo Māori is the language of the kura, and whānau contact the kura directly to ask about enrolling.
