Can my child go here?
This school has an enrolment scheme, so a place is not open to every address. How enrolment zones work
Loading zone map…
Zone boundaries shown here are approximate. Ministry of Education data warns these boundaries do not have high spatial precision and can place neighbouring addresses on different sides of a line. This is not a confirmation of enrolment eligibility — always confirm directly with the school. Zone geometry also does not reflect enrolment priority rules (siblings, special character categories, ballots) — it shows the mapped boundary only.

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 (2 March 2023)
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 2 March 2023 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 487 — 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.

This is one count taken for one report. It says what the roll was on that day, and nothing about how the roll has moved.
What ERO wrote in its latest report
This is ERO’s report of 2 March 2023 — “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 21 months of the Education Review Office and Hillpark School 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
Hillpark School is in Manurewa and caters for learners in Years 1-6. Hillpark School’s vision for the diverse community it serves is ‘Aspire, Grow, Achieve’. A feature of the school includes ngāhere , native bush which is part of the learning environment.
Hillpark School’s strategic priorities for improving outcomes for learners are to:
ensure teaching and learning excellence
be inclusive and encourage participation
be culturally responsive
promote learner and staff wellbeing.
You can find a copy of the school’s strategic and annual plan on Hillpark School’s website.
ERO and the school are working together to evaluate the extent to which learner and whānau perceptions and experiences are informing a responsive curriculum, and equitable and excellent outcomes for all learners.
The rationale for selecting this evaluation is:
the school vision ‘aspire, grow, achieve’ focuses on the success of all learners where decision making, and practice is responsive to evidence
local curriculum design responds to the aspirations of all learners, parents and whānau
culturally responsive teaching practices ensure all learners see themselves reflected in the school environment.
The school expects to see all learners progressing and achieving towards equitable and excellent outcomes, with learner voice and whānau perceptions used as evidence to inform decision making. Learners will be effectively supported by teachers, parents, whānau and community working in strengthened learning partnerships and collaboration.
Strengths
The school can draw from the following strengths to support its evaluation goal:
leaders and teachers collaborate effectively for curriculum design review and refinement
teachers use appropriate assessment to support learners to make choices and decisions about their learning
professional development approaches are differentiated to enhance teaching capability.
Where to next?
Moving forward, the school will prioritise:
conducting learner experience and engagement surveys, and continue to modify professional development in response to the analysis of data
further in-depth analysis of the acceleration, progress and achievement of priority learners to determine next steps
utilising the aspirations of parents and whānau in decision making and teacher practice.
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.
