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 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.
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.
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 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 (16 October 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 16 October 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 269 — 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 16 October 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 14 months of the Education Review Office and Konini Primary School ( Wainuiomata ) 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
Konini Primary School is in Wainuiomata , Lower Hutt, and provides education for children from Years 1 to 6. Their mission statement is “ Aroha tahi, Ako tahi – Loving Learning Together. ”
Konini Primary School ( Wainuiomata )’s strategic priorities for improving outcomes for learners are to:
know themselves as a learner, make progress, and experience success through a diverse, flexible and responsive learning environment
nurture their oranga (wellbeing) as they experience success and make progress in positive and inclusive learning environments where identity is acknowledged and celebrated; culture and language respected; and whanaungatanga (relationships) and manaakitanga (respect, care) are central to learning
access and be engaged with the New Zealand Curriculum and local curriculum, learning to thrive within themselves, with others, with their community and with their world
strengthen community connections and work in partnership with parents, families/ whānau, Kāhui Ako, and community to support student learning in connected communities.
You can find a copy of the school’s strategic and annual plan on Konini Primary School ( Wainuiomata )’s website.
ERO and the school are working together to evaluate the extent to which strengthening schoolwide teaching practices are improving learner achievement, confidence, and success in mathematics.
The rationale for selecting this evaluation is:
school achievement information indicates the need to reassess the approach to teaching mathematics
to ensure there is a consistent approach to teaching mathematics at all levels
understanding and meeting the needs of all learners increases equity in mathematical achievement
building teacher capacity will support the implementation of the new mathematics curriculum.
The school expects to see increased engagement and improved outcomes in mathematics for all learners through:
high quality teaching and learning of mathematics at all levels
strengthening teacher pedagogy and capability in mathematics
inclusive and equitable mathematics programmes that support all learners to achieve.
Strengths
The school can draw from the following strengths to support its goal to evaluate and strengthen success in mathematics :
A strong and experienced leadership team, who know their learners and whānau well, and have a well-considered focus on continuous improvement for equitable outcomes.
Established tracking systems and processes that deepen the leaders and teachers' knowledge of their learner's engagement, well-being, progress and achievement.
A wide range of initiatives and interventions are explored and trialled to bring about improvement in outcomes for learners.
Where to next?
Moving forward, the school will prioritise:
developing a shared understanding of the mathematics learning progressions to better inform programmes and teaching strategies that are responsive to learner needs, progress and achievement
using specific assessment for learning practices to monitor student progress, strengthen effective data use to know the impact of strategies and to inform next steps
using the mathematics learning progressions framework to monitor and evaluate the impact that shifts in practice have on improving student progress and achievement.
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.
