TKKM o Nga Mokopuna

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 176 — 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.

Ko ngā whakaritenga whakahaere mō te toenga o te tau o 2018, i kaha pēhi tonu i ngā kaimahi, i ngā hononga, i ngā pūtea, i te whakawhanaketanga marau kia whai hua ai, tae atu ki ngā hanganga kāwana me ngā hanganga whakahaere o te kura.

1 Introduction

The Education Review Office, whānau, leaders and communities have collaborated to provide evaluation insights that foster improvement, identify progress and build evaluation capability.

2 Context

Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Ngā Mokopuna experienced four consecutive years of unrest from 2014 to 2017 which culminated in 2018, with the resignation of the former tumuaki . Interim management arrangements for the remainder of 2018 continued to put huge pressure on personnel, relationships, finances, effective curriculum development and the governance and management structures of the kura .

With the appointment of the new tumuaki came stability and a strategic approach to the leadership and governance of the kura .

To what extent do students' experiences and opportunities lead to their success as learners?

Students are prioritised by the whānau whakahaere and kura leadership. This has led to a deliberate and planned approach to expand the opportunities and experiences provided to them.

Self-Review

Self- review supports the whānau whakahaere and leadership with responsive decision making. Their self-review and strategic framework, defines goals, actions and expected outcomes alongside timeframes, with progress and achievement expectations. Policy review is up to date with an ongoing programme of review established. Whānau have increased opportunity to contribute across all areas of operation. Self-review is valued and has influenced the structure of the whānau whakahaere . Each ohu has a kaihautū who uses information to make recommendations to the whānau whakahaere . All recommendations target directly improved learner outcomes. This has led to clarity when reporting about how Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Ngā Mokopuna seeks to respond to whānau aspirations. Internal evaluation influences decision making focused on student learning.

Strategic and annual planning is responsive and reflects a directed and authentic approach to ongoing improvement. There are several areas of focus within the current planning. These include:

Te Aho Matua Wananga

whānau participation and contribution across all areas of the kura

a professional culture amongst staff

more opportunities for specialist teaching programmes

professional development for the individual and collective needs of staff

maintaining the established systems for financial management

effective communication identifying and prioritising the learning needs and successes of all students.

The finance system has been revisited and rewritten, with strict expectations. This has seen a shift from deficit to a substantial surplus. This direction reflects the aspirations of whānau and the response to the provision of high-quality education.

Leadership

Professional and strategic leadership provides a sound basis for change and improvement. The tumuaki is experienced, influential and focused on learner outcomes. He is an effective leader and manager who also focuses on upskilling and supporting kura governance. In addition, the board has established an ohu structure. There are four ohu kaihautū who have responsibilities and delegations. This approach has led to clarity, purpose and focus on learners. Senior kaiako are valued and learning as part of a professional leadership team. The focus on building a professional culture is led by all leaders. Leadership is collaborative and transformative.

Curriculum

The kura has an established marau a kura called Manawa Mauriora . Implementation expectations are modelled refined and developed. Collaborative planning supports the de-privatisation of practice and builds the professional culture for staff to ensure they are focused on the needs of students.

There is a strong focus on Ngā Hua o te Ako, aromatawai . This has seen a strong school wide approach to develop a structure that monitors progress and achievement. There are clear expectations for reporting progress to whanau each term. Focus includes pūtaiao, pāngarau, te reo Māori both oral, written and the Manu Kōrero assessment tool. Cloud based learning established as a response to COVID 19 is an ongoing part of the programme as well. NCEA results show achievement and success for wharekura students. The curriculum reflects whānau aspirations and responds to students learning success.

Key Next Steps

The whānau whakahaere and the tumuaki have defined their next steps. The strong self-review programme should continue to influence what is prioritised by whom and within a specified time fame.

Actions for Compliance

Before the evaluation, the whānau and Tumuaki 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 evaluation, 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.
