What would the day look like?
The practical things this school states on its own website — the hours, the uniform, the term dates, and how children get there. These are the school’s own words, not the Ministry’s record and not ERO’s.
Quoted from this school’s own website, as we read it on 13 August 2026. A web page carries no date of its own, so that is the day we read it — not a statement that any of this is still the case. Each line quotes the words it came from.

What does the school say about itself?
Quoted, not summarised. Every school describes itself well, so this is here to be read as the school’s own case rather than as a finding — and a school that states nothing simply has no row.

What is on offer beyond the classroom?
The sports, arts, clubs and groups this school names on its own website. Not a complete list of what any school offers, and not a count — a school that names more here has written more down, which is not the same as doing more.

What did ERO find?
The Education Review Office reviews every school and publishes what it finds in full. We quote ERO’s report here, section by section, in ERO’s own words and order, and link to it. We do not summarise a report, pick a line out of one, or turn one into a score. How ERO reviews schools

- Board assurance
- The board attested to all areas (1 May 2024)
A board assurance statement is the board’s own account of whether it took all reasonable steps to meet its legal obligations, on the date shown. It is not ERO’s finding. ERO reports separately, in the same report, on any non-compliance it identified during that process.
The board assurance report of 1 May 2024 carries no actions-for-compliance section — the section ERO uses when it names non-compliance it identified. That is what this report contains; it is not ERO saying it found none. Other reports ERO holds for this school may say something different.
The roll ERO recorded, and when
ERO writes a roll into each report it publishes: a count taken for that report, on the day shown, by the review team that was there. The Ministry of Education’s current roll for this school is 115 — the figure at the top of this page, and the one to use for how big the school is now. These are a different measurement by a different body, so they will rarely agree, and a difference between them is not a change in the school.

What ERO wrote in its latest report
This is ERO’s report of 1 May 2024 — “Te Ara Huarau | School Profile Report” — section by section, under ERO’s own headings, in ERO’s own order. Nothing is summarised, shortened or reordered.
Background
This Profile Report was written within 8 months of the Education Review Office and Christ the King Catholic School ( Owairaka ) working in Te Ara Huarau , an improvement evaluation approach used in most English Medium State and State Integrated Schools. For more information about Te Ara Huarau see ERO’s website. www.ero.govt.nz
Context
Christ The King Catholic School ( Owairaka ) is a small, inner-city school in Mt Roskill. It caters for learners in Years 1 to 6. The school’s mission is to foster excellence and build a community within a Catholic environment.
Christ the King Catholic School ( Owairaka )’s strategic priorities for improving outcomes for learners are to:
provide a responsive curriculum to ensure learning opportunities for all
encourage and highlight awareness of NZ’s cultural diversity and Māori world view
encourage creative ways to develop and foster a supportive and engaged community.
You can find a copy of the school’s strategic and annual plan on Christ the King Catholic School ( Owairaka )’s website.
ERO and the school are working together to evaluate how effective school systems and processes for collecting and using achievement information supports improving outcomes for learners.
The rationale for selecting this evaluation is:
the school’s identification of disparities in achievement outcomes and how these will be addressed
reviewing how assessment and achievement information is collected, monitored, analysed and used to inform teaching and learning and ongoing evaluation
to ensure teaching and learning is based on high expectations leading to equitable and excellent achievement outcomes for learners.
The school expects to see evidence of equity for all learners through:
improved use of assessment information that informs programme planning, teaching and learning
deliberate acts of teaching that supports acceleration of progress and achievement for learners
effective teaching that positively impacts on learner engagement and their achievement
improved use of achievement information through inquiry and evaluation.
Strengths
The school can draw from the following strengths to support its goal to evaluate how effective school systems and processes for collecting and using achievement information supports improving outcomes for learners.
teaching and learning programmes that are tailored to the needs of the students
teachers who are committed to using effective teaching practices to improve outcomes for all learners
a small school community that nurtures and supports learners and their whānau .
Where to next?
Moving forward, the school will prioritise:
targeted professional development, focused on the needs of priority learners
ongoing monitoring, evaluation, inquiry, and knowledge building to promote greater equity and excellence for learners.
ERO’s role will be to support the school in its evaluation for improvement cycle to improve outcomes for all learners. ERO will support the school in reporting their progress to the community. The next public report on ERO’s website will be a Te Ara Huarau | School Evaluation Report and is due within three years.

ERO reviews a school every few years — around four years between reviews is the usual cycle — so an older date here reflects where a school sits in that cycle, not how it is doing.
