Rosehill Intermediate

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 389 — 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 15 December 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 27 months of the Education Review Office and Rosehill Intermediate 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

Rosehill Intermediate provides education for Year 7 and 8 students and is located in Papakura , South Auckland. Since the last ERO review in 2018, the senior leadership team has remained constant.

The school’s vision is to prepare students for a global future by ensuring they are confident, connected and lifelong learners. The school values are respect, integrity and self-management.

Rosehill Intermediate strategic priorities for improving outcomes for learners are focused on enhancing:

teaching and learning

student wellbeing

community connections and inclusivity.

You can find a copy of the school’s strategic and annual plan on the Rosehill Intermediate website.

ERO and the school are working together to evaluate the effectiveness of teaching practice and its impact on learners’ achievement and progress.

The rationale for selecting this evaluation is to respond to student achievement data and whānau /parent aspirations. The focus also aligns with the school’s Kāhui Ako goal to promote teacher effectiveness.

The school expects to see teachers collectively building their capacity to enhance student achievement in reading, writing and mathematics.

Strengths

The school can draw from the following strengths to support improvement in effective teaching and learners’ achievement and progress:

a positive, inclusive and supportive school culture

culturally responsive practices that affirm and support students’ backgrounds

established ‘character’ classes that support a range of students’ interests and skills

the provision of strong leadership and coaching in mathematics within the staff

teachers' commitment to professional learning to improve their practice.

Where to next?

Moving forward, the school will prioritise:

embedding teachers’ use of effective strategies to improve student achievement in writing and mathematics

developing effective assessment for learning practices to improve students’ ownership of and progress in learning.

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.
