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 (13 June 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 13 June 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 143 — 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.

170
Counted while ERO’s review team was at the school. Education Review Office, report of 20 December 2013
We draw no line between these. Each was counted for its own report, years apart, by a different review team, and a roll moves between reviews for reasons none of these figures record — so the difference between any two of them measures nothing.
What ERO wrote in its latest report
This is ERO’s report of 13 June 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 eighteen months of the Education Review Office and Monte Cecilia Catholic 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
Monte Cecilia Catholic School is a state integrated primary school for students in years 1 to 6. The school is a member of the Auckland Central Catholic Schools Community of Learning.
Monte Cecilia Catholic School’s strategic priorities for improving outcomes for learners are:
fostering the development of our special Catholic character within the context of our Mercy charism
students will be engaged in their learning and have high levels of achievement and progress
our school, church and community will work together to develop rich relationships and support the learning of all students
our school will equip students with skills to be confident, contributing disciples.
You can find a copy of the school’s strategic and annual plan on Monte Cecilia Catholic School’s website.
ERO and the school are working together to evaluate how effectively assessment practices promote strong, active learner agency that supports the achievement and progress of all learners.
The rationale for selecting this evaluation is:
to address the achievement of each individual learner by developing teacher capability
to ensure teachers are consistently using appropriate assessment
to develop ways to strengthen community understanding and engagement with their children's learning and progress.
The school expects to see the use of consistent and robust information about how well each learner is achieving and progressing across the whole curriculum. Teachers will use achievement information to show patterns of progress over time and inform curriculum planning to support engagement in learning.
Strengths
The school can draw from the following strengths to support the school in its goal to evaluate how effectively assessment practices promote strong, active learner agency.
a supportive school community who positively engage in learning focused partnerships
leaders and staff who have a shared understanding of the mission and vision of the school and are improvement focused
shared understanding and strong sense of belonging through the school’s special character and Mercy values.
Where to next?
Moving forward, the school will prioritise:
developing teacher capability through professional development with an Assessment for Learning focus and the use of achievement information.
continuing to develop community engagement through Fono and whānau feedback
developing and further enhancing the development of our curriculum
developing moderation of assessment and analysis processes to ensure consistency across the school.
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.
