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 76 — 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.

Ngā Whakaaturanga
E tū ana Te Wharekura o Manurewa ki te marae o Manurewa. He nui ngā tūmanako e pā ana ki ngā paetae ākonga. Ka kitea ki ngā ākonga ō rātou ngākau titikaha me ō rātou pūmanawa ki te ārahi, i roto i te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo horopaki. Hei te tau 2021 te wharekura me Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Manurewa e hūnuku ai ki te wāhi kotahi. E tino hāpaitia ana te wharekura e te hapori.
Tērā ka whakahaeretia e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga te arotake whai muri o Te Wharekura o Manurewa i roto i ngā tau e toru, arā, ko Te Rākeitanga.
1 Te Horopaki
E tū ana Te Wharekura o Manurewa i tēnei wā ki te marae o Manurewa. E mahi ana te whānau o te wharekura ki te taha o Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Manurewa, i a rātou e whakatōpuhia kia arotahi te poari kia whakakotahi me te whakarato i te rerenga o te mātauranga Te Aho Matua mō ngā ākonga i ngā tau 1-6, 7-10, 11-13. E mahi ana hoki ngā kura ki te taha o Te Tāhuhu o te Mātauranga ki te hūnuku ki tētahi atu wāhi.
Nō te tau 2018 tētahi poari kaitiaki i whakatōpūhia ai. Ka whakarato taua poari i te kāwanatanga ki ngā kura e rua. Hei te tau 2021 te kura hou whakatuwhera ai, hei whakatutuki i te tirohanga a te whānau kua rua tekau tau e wawatatia ana. I tēnei wā, e aro kau atu ana te titiro kia tū motuhake ngā mahi whakahaere i ia kura. He nui ngā tūmanako o ngā kaimahi me te whānau mō te eke angitu o ā rātou ākonga i roto i te mātauranga. Waihoki, he mea nui kia tau ki ngā tāngata katoa e whai wāhi atu ana ki te hanumitanga nei, kua rangona, kua whakaarohia hoki rātou.
He pēhea rawa ngā ākonga e whakaatu i te tūmāia me te ārahitanga?
Ka kitea ki ngā ākonga ngā pūmanawa o te tūmāia me te ārahitanga ki te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo horopaki.
Te Ira Tangata
E poipoia ana ngā ākonga ki tētahi taiao e mau ana i ngā uara Māori me ngā whakapono Māori i tuku iho ai. E mōhio ana rātou, he mea nui ki te whānau ō rātou hononga ā-whakapapa i te tāone nui. Ka āta whakarite ngā kaiako kia whakapuakihia ngā tikanga me ngā uara ki te marautanga, ngā mahere, me te hōtaka akoranga.
Ka whai wāhi mātātoa atu ngā ākonga hei tangata whenua ki te marae. Ka ako, ā, ka whai wāhi atu rātou ki ngā kawenga hei kaikaranga, hei kaikōrero, hei kaiwaiata, ā, hei ringawera hoki. E whakariterite ana ngā kaimahi i ngā ākonga ki te tū hei kaiārahi, ā, ka whakawhanake i ō rātou mōhiotanga ki ngā tūranga me ngā kawenga hei tangata whenua. Ka whai pānga atu, ka whai wāhi nui hoki ngā wheako ako ki ērā o te marae. E whanake ana ngā ākonga hei kaimahi mō ō rātou marae.
Ngā Iwi
E tautāwhitia ana ngā ākonga ki te whanaungatanga. Ka whakatauira te whānau i ngā hononga papai e mau ana i te whakaute o tētahi ki tētahi. Ka whakahaere ngā kaiako i te taiao ako hei whakatairanga ake i te whai wāhi mai o ngā ākonga, i ngā taunekeneke, ā, i ngā whakawhitinga kōrero hoki. Ka whakapuaki rātou i te atawhai me te whakaaro nui mō ā rātou ākonga. Ka whakamihi ngā kaiako me te whānau i ngā ākonga, mō ā rātou akoranga me ā rātou whakapuakitanga whakaaro. He tino hononga ō te whānau ki te iwi, te hapū, te whānau, ngā ratonga hapori me ngā ratonga mātauranga. Ka whakarite, ka poipoi hoki rātou i ngā hononga ki te hapori hei painga mō ā rātou ākonga. Ka whakapuakihia e ngā kaiako ngā tūmomo kaupapa o te hapori mā ngā ākonga, pērā i a Ihumātao, hei whakawhānui ake i tō rātou māramatanga ki te tino rangatiratanga. He pakari ngā ākonga ki te taunekeneke ki ētahi atu.
Te Ao
E whakaratohia ana ki ngā ākonga te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo whai wāhitanga ako. Ka wero ngā hōtaka ako i ngā whakaaro o ngā ākonga. Ko tētahi aronga matua a te whānau, ko te whakawhānui i ngā wheako a ngā ākonga ki tua atu i Manurewa me Tāmaki-makau-rau ki te tonga. Ka whai wāhi atu ngā ākonga ki ngā huihuinga hākinakina, ahurea hoki pērā i te mau rākau, te waka ama, me te kapa haka. E whakapakari ake ana te hōtaka o Mātātoa i ngā pūkenga ā-tinana, ā-tangata hoki o ngā ākonga. Ka whakaako ngā ākonga tuākana i te hōtaka o Mātātoa ki ngā ākonga tēina o ngā kura Māori me ngā kura auraki o te takiwā nei. Ka akiaki, ka tautoko hoki te whānau i te manaaki o ngā ākonga i te taiao. He whai wāhitanga mō ngā ākonga ki te ārahi i te aroturukitanga me te whakarauoratanga anō o te kōawa o Puhinui. Ka āta whai wāhi pai ngā ākonga ki tō rātou hapori me tō rātou taiao tonu.
Āhuatanga Ako
Ka tino tautokona ngā ākonga o te Tau 9, i tō rātou huarahi ki te whai i Te Taumata Mātauranga ā-Motu kua Taea. Whakatutukihia ai e te kura ngā whakawhiwhinga papai o Te Taumata Mātauranga ā-Motu kua Taea i roto i tini o ngā tau. Ko te tatauranga iti noa ki waenga i ngā ākonga me ngā kaiako e hāpai mārika ana i ngā tino putanga. E mōhio ana ngā ākonga me te whānau ki te teitei o ngā tūmanako. Kua āta whakatakotohia ngā pūnaha tautoko hei hāpai pū i ngā ākonga i tāutuhia ai. Ka taea e ngā ākonga tuākana te whakahua ō rātou huarahi, ā rātou aronga hoki mō ngā tau kei te heke mai. E oke ana ngā ākonga ki te āta whakatutuki i ō rātou pitomata.
Ngā wāhanga i tāutuhia ai e te kura hei whakawhanake ake
I te wā ka whakawhiti atu ki ngā whare hou, me matua aro ake ki ngā paearu whakauru mō te reo Māori, kia ū ai te rumakitanga ki te reo Māori. Kāhore te reo Māori e whakamahia ana i ia te wā puta noa i te wharekura. Ka ahu mai te nuinga o ngā ākonga i ngā kāinga reo Pākehā. Ko te wharekura anake te wāhi ka rangona e rātou, ka whakamahia hoki e rātou te reo Māori.
Ahakoa te uaua ki te whakatū i ngā mātanga kaupapa ako e matatau ana ki te kōrero i te reo Māori, me whai wāhi tonu tēnei ki te huarahi whakatū kaiako. Nā tēnei tūāhuatanga, e whakaakona ana ētahi o ngā kaupapa ako ki te reo Pākehā, ā, i te nuinga o te wā e whakawhitiwhiti kōrero ana ngā ākonga ki waenga i a rātou anō mā te reo Pākehā.
Me whai wāhi mai te ārahitanga ngaio ki te whakawhitinga. Kei ngā whakaritenga o te kura hou, ko ngā wāhi ako moroki. Kei te tīmata te whai māramatanga o ngā kaiako ki te whai pānga o tēnei ki ā rātou whakaritenga mahi me ngā pūkenga e hiahiatia ana.
Me whai wāhi mai hoki tētahi hōtaka me te ārahitanga ngaio e hāpai ai i ngā ākonga katoa i roto i te whakawhitinga. Ko te haumaru o te ākonga, ko te whakaaro nui ki te āhua o te whakawhiti atu i tētahi wāhi ki tētahi atu, ētahi āhuatanga matua.
3 Te Arotake Whaiaro me te Ārahitanga
E whai wāhi atu ana te arotake whaiaro ki te whakatinanatanga o ngā whakataunga. Ko ngā kaupapa rautaki o tēnei wā a te poari i whakatōpūngia ai, e arotahi ana ki te whakawhitinga ki te wāhi hou ka nohoia ngātahitia e rātou. E hāpaitia ana tā rātou whakawhiti atu e tētahi kaiwhakahaere kāwana. E whakatutuki haere ana i ngā mahi ki te arotake i ngā kaupapa here me ngā tukanga e hāngai ai ki tō rātou āhuatanga hou. Aromātai ai o roto i ia te wā, puta noa i ngā wāhanga katoa o ngā mahi kāwana me ngā mahi whakahaere hei āta whakatau i ngā tino putanga ki ngā ākonga. E hiahiatia ana hoki te tautoko kaha mō ngā ākonga me ō rātou whānau. Aroturukitia ai te ahu whakamua a ngā ākonga i ia te wā. Ka whiwhi ngā whānau i ngā pūrongo ako e pā ana ki ngā whakatutukitanga o ā rātou ake tamariki i ngā wā e rua o ia tau. Kei te mārama ngā putanga ki ngā ākonga.
Tū ai te arohaehae kaimahi i ia te wā, ā, kei te whakatinanahia tētahi pūnaha hou i tēnei wā. E tino tautokona ana te taha ngaio o ngā kaimahi, ā, kei te harikoa ō rātou āhua. Ka kitea ki te katoa, ko tō rātou ngākau nui, tō rātou aro pūmau hoki kia eke angitu ai ngā ākonga. Ko te aromātai i ngā kaupapa o Te Taumata Mātauranga ā-Motu kua Taea i ia te wā, e āta whakarite ana i te whakatutukitanga o ngā matea o ngā ākonga, me tā rātou eke angitu. E whai hua ana ngā ākonga ki te taiao ako e aro nui ana ki a rātou.
Ngā wāhanga i tāutuhia ai e te kura hei whakawhanake ake
Te whakawhanake o te poari arotahi. He rerekē te āhua o ngā māramatanga ki Te Aho Matua. Kua roa nei te kore tū o ngā wānanga a te whānau mō Te Aho Matua.
Ko te āta whakawhiti nahanaha atu o ia kura ki te wāhi hou. E takune ana mā te rahi ake o ngā wāhi whakaako, mā te āhua tonu o te wāhi tū mō rātou e uruuru mai ana, ka tere piki ake te tatauranga o ngā ākonga ki te rārangi ingoa o te kura. Nō mai rā anō te tokoiti o ngā ākonga o te wharekura. Kāhore anō te whānau kia whakawhiti kōrero mō ngā whakaritenga ka whāia hei poipoi i tēnei āhuatanga, i ōna whai pānga, ā, i ngā rautaki e tika ana hei hāpai i ngā ākonga me ngā kaimahi.
Ahakoa ngā mahi ārahi a te kaiwhakahaere kāwana ki te taha o te poari, me whai whakaaro Te Tāhuhu o te Mātauranga me Te Rūnanga Nui o Ngā Kura Kaupapa Māori o Aotearoa ki ngā wāhanga e whai ake nei, hei hāpai ake anō i te ahu whakamua tonu i roto i te wā kei te heke mai. Ko ētahi o aua āhuatanga:
ko te āta whakarite kia whai māngai ngā tū rōpū katoa
ko te kapo atu i ngā tūmanako o te poari arotahi , hei whakatinana i tā rātou tirohanga ngātahi mō te whakaratonga o te mātauranga ki ngā ākonga o ngā tau 1-6, 7-10, 11-13
ko te tautuhi i ngā tūmanako, ngā kaupapa here, me ngā tukanga a ngā kaimahi e whakamana ana, e whakapūmau ana hoki i te tauira ārahitanga ngātahi i te wāhi Kotahi me te marau o te waahi
ko te whakatinana i te whakaratonga o te mātauranga o Te Aho Matua me te reo Māori te marau o te waahi
ko te whakamārama i ngā whai pānga o te hanumitanga ki ngā kura e rua e whakahaerehia ai ki te wāhi kotahi.
4 Te Whakatau a te Whānau ki ngā Wāhanga Tautukunga
I mua atu i te whakahaerenga o te arotake i whakatutukihia e te poari me te tumuaki he Tauāki Kupu Tūturu a te Whānau mā Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga, me tētahi Rārangi Arowhai Tātari Whaiaro. I roto i ēnei tuhinga i oati rātou i whāia e rātou ngā huarahi whai take hei whakatutuki i ā rātou herenga ā-ture e pā ana ki:
ngā whakahaere a te poari
te marautanga
ngā whakahaere mō te hauora, te haumaru, me te oranga tinana
ngā whakahaere o ngā kaimahi
ngā whakahaere o te pūtea
ngā whakahaere o ngā rawa me ngā taonga.
I te wā o te arotake, i whakamātauhia e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga ngā āhuatanga i raro iho nei, i te mea he nui te pānga o ēnei ki ngā paetae o ngā ākonga:
te haumaru aronganui o ngā ākonga (tāpiri atu ki te ārai i ngā mahi whakawetiweti me ngā mahi whakaaito)
te haumaru ā-tinana o ngā ākonga
te rēhitatanga o ngā kaiako
ngā tukanga ki te whakatū kaimahi
te whakaunu, te aukati, te pana me te whakarerenga
te tae ā-tinana atu a ngā ākonga ki te kura.
5 Ngā Taunakitanga

Findings
Te Wharekura o Manurewa is located at Manurewa marae. High expectations are held for student achievement. Students show confidence and leadership qualities in a range of contexts. The Wharekura and Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Manurewa will be relocating to a shared site in 2022. The wharekura is well supported by the community.
The next ERO review of Te Wharekura o Manurewa will be in three years – Te Rākeitanga – Expansive Evaluation.
1 Context
Te Wharekura o Manurewa is currently located at Manurewa marae. The wharekura whānau are working with the Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Manurewa in a combined governance structure to provide a seamless Te Aho Matua education, for students from Years 1-6, 7-10, 11-13. Both kura are working with the Ministry of Education on site relocation.
A combined board of trustees was established in 2018. This group will provide governance for both kura. After a 20-year period, the whanau vision will be achieved as the new kura will open in 2022. At this stage it is envisaged that each kura will operate independently. Staff and whānau share high expectations for the educational success of their students. It is imperative that all parties involved in this merger feel that they are heard and considered.
How well do students show confidence and leadership?
Students show confidence and leadership qualities in a range of contexts.
Te Ira Tangata
Students are nurtured in an environment based on traditional Māori values and beliefs. They know their whakapapa connections in the urban setting is important to whānau. Kaiako ensure that tikanga practices and values are reflected in the curriculum, planning and learning programme.
Students play an active role as tangata whenua on the marae. They contribute to and learn key traditional roles such as kaikaranga, kaikōrero, kaiwaiata and ringa wera. Kaimahi are preparing students to be leaders and develop their understanding of the roles and responsibilities of tangata whenua. Learning experiences extend to, integrate and are based on the marae. Students are developing as kaimahi for their marae.
Ngā Iwi
Students are embraced by whanaungatanga. Whānau role model positive and mutually respectful relationships. Kaiako manage the learning environment to promote student engagement, interaction and conversation. They show care and concern for their students. Kaiako and whānau affirm students for their learning and contributions. Whānau have strong relationships with iwi, hapū, whānau, community services, and educational services. They establish and foster community relationships to benefit their students. Kaiako introduce students to local events, such as Ihumātao to broaden their understanding about tino rangatiratanga. Students confidently interact with others.
Te Ao
Students are provided with a wide range of learning opportunities. Learning programmes challenge students thinking. A whānau priority is to expand student experiences beyond Manurewa and T ā maki Makaurau ki te Tonga. Students engage in sporting and cultural engagements such as mau rakau, waka ama and kapahaka. The Mātātoa programme extends students physical and social skills. Senior students teach the Mātātoa programme to younger students from local kura and schools. Whānau encourage and support students to care for the local physical environment. Puhinui stream provides students with an opportunity to lead in its monitoring and restoration. Students contribute positively to their local community and environment.
Āhuatanga Ako
Students are well supported on the National Certificate in Educational Achievement (NCEA) pathway in Year 9. The kura has seen consistently good NCEA results for a number of years. Low student teacher ratios support successful outcomes. Students and whānau are aware of the high expectations. Deliberate support systems are in place to support target students. Older students are able to articulate their future aspirational pathways and direction. Students strive to reach their potential.
Kura-identified areas of development
Enrolment criteria for te reo Māori on the new site is essential to uphold te reo Māori immersion. Te reo Māori is not consistently used across the wharekura. Most students come from English speaking homes. The wharekura is the only opportunity for them to hear and use te reo Māori.
While it is difficult to employ subject specialists that can speak te reo Māori, this should be a recruitment focus. Consequently, some subjects are being taught in English and students predominantly communicate with one another in English.
Professional leadership and guidance throughout transition. The new kura plan involves the establishment of modern learning environments. Kaiako are in the early stages of understanding how this will affect their practices and what skills will be required.
A programme and professional guidance to support all students through transition. The students safe and considered transfer from one site to another is essential.
3 Self Review and leadership
Self review informs decision making. The current strategic priorities of the combined board are focused on the transition to the new, shared site. They are being supported through the transition by a governance facilitator. Work is being undertaken to review policies and procedures that will reflect their new situation. There is regular internal evaluation across all areas of governance and management to ensure positive outcomes for students. High levels of support are also sought for students and their whānau. Student progress is regularly and consistently monitored. Whānau receive formal reports on their child’s achievement twice a year. Student outcomes are clear.
Staff appraisal is regular, and a new system is currently being implemented. Staff are well supported professionals and appear happy. All show a passion and commitment to student achievement. Regular NCEA course evaluation ensures that student needs are being met and success is assured. Students respond well to the responsive learning environment.
Kura-identified areas of development
Combined board of governance development. There are different levels of understanding about Te Aho Matua (TAM). There have been no TAM wananga held for whānau recently.
Careful and considered transition of each kura to the new site. It is envisaged that the larger teaching spaces combined with the catchment area will result in a significant and rapid roll increase. The wharekura has only ever had small numbers. Whānau have not discussed how this will be managed, what the impacts will be and support strategies for students and staff.
While the governance facilitator provides some guidance to the board of trustees the Ministry of Education and Te Rūnanga should consider the following areas that require additional and appropriate support moving forward. These include:
ensuring all parties are fairly represented
capturing the expectations of the combined governance structure to enact whānau universal vision to provide education for Years 1-6, 7-10, 11-13 students
defining personnel expectations policies and practices that endorse and uphold the dual leadership model for the new facility including local curriculum
enacting the provision of Te Aho Matua and te reo Māori education including local curriculum
clarifying how merger impacts on 2 kura operating in the same space.
4 Whānau assurance on legal requirements
Before the review, the board of trustees and principal completed the ERO Whānau Assurance Statement and Self-Audit Checklists. In these documents they attested that they had taken all reasonable steps to meet their legislative obligations related to:
board administration
curriculum
management of health, safety and welfare
personnel management
financial management
asset management.
During the review, ERO checked the following items because they have a potentially high impact on student achievement:
emotional safety of students (including prevention of bullying and sexual harassment)
physical safety of students
teacher registration
processes for appointing staff
stand-downs, suspensions, expulsions and exclusions
attendance.
5 Recommendations
ERO recommends that the whānau work with Te Rūnanganui o Ngā Kura Kaupapa Māori to:
support the wharekura whānau to address the areas of development highlighted in this report;
provide further training for whānau in preparation for the new site challenges
provide governance facilitator support and extend this to strengthen the provision of Te Aho Matua education.
Conclusion
Te Wharekura o Manurewa is located at Manurewa marae. High expectations are held for student achievement. Students show confidence and leadership qualities in a range of contexts. The Wharekura and Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Manurewa will be relocating to a shared site in 2022. The wharekura is well supported by the community.
