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 150 — 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.

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.

Ko Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Pukemiro tētahi kura hiato o Te Aho Matua e tū ana ki Kaitāia. E whakarato ana ngā whānau i te mātauranga mō ngā ākonga o ngā tau 1 ki te 13. Kua ārahi ngā kaiwhakahaere i te whānau i roto i ngā wero maha, mā te whakaū pūmau i te titiro ki ngā ākonga i roto i ngā whakataunga. Kua whai pānga te mate urutā o te KOWHEORI-19 ki ngā tūranga kaimahi. Kua whakatūngia ētahi kaimahi hou ki te wharekura i tēnei tau. Kua hangaia ētahi atu akomanga, ā, nō nā noa nei i whakatuwhera ai. Kei te whakatakotohia hoki ngā tūāpapa o ētahi atu. He taiapa hou ki te āwhiotanga o te kura, ā, kua haumaru ake ngā ākonga nā taua tūāhuatanga.

Ka kitea ki ngā ākonga tō rātou whakaū ki ō rātou ake ngākau pono, i a rātou e manaaki ana, e whai whakaaro nui ana, e mahi ngātahi ana hoki ki ētahi atu. Kei te whakapūmau rātou i te Muriwhenuatanga.

4 Ngā Whakaaturanga

Kei te rongo ngā ākonga i ngā hononga whakaute ki ētahi atu, ā, e whakakoia ana i tō rātou tuakiri ā-ahurea. Ko ngā hononga o ngā kaumātua ki ngā ākonga, e whakapuaki ana i ngā tini āhuatanga ake o te reo ā-iwi me ngā kōrero tuku iho. Ka whai wāhi ki ngā tuhinga whakamahere o te pae tawhiti, ko ngā wawata o te whānau, o ngā hapū, me ngā iwi. He hononga tō te nuinga o ngā kaimahi ki te rohe nei.

Ko ngā tūranga me ngā kawenga hei tangata whenua, e whakapūmau ana i te Muriwhenuatanga mā ngā tikanga me ngā kawa. Ka ako ngā tēina, mai i ngā tuākana, ā, ka kawea e ngā tuākana ngā tūranga ārahi.

He maha ngā tūmomo wā e whakapuakihia ai e ngā ākonga ō rātou ake pūmanawa motuhake, ō rātou ake pūkenga motuhake, pērā i te wā e whakatinana ana rātou i ā rātou rautaki ako ake. Ka whakapuaki rātou i ō rātou whakaaro mā ngā huarahi maha. E ako ana ngā ākonga i tō rātou tuakiri me tō rātou tūrangawaewae.

Ngā Whakaritenga Matua ka whai ake

Kua tautuhia e te whānau, e ngā kaitiaki, e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga hoki, ko Te Aho Matua tētahi āhuatanga hei whakawhanake ake. Ahakoa ka kitea ētahi āhuatanga o Te Aho Matua, ki tā te whānau kua tae ki te wā ki te whakapiki ake i tō rātou māramatanga ngātahi ki te kaupapa, mā te whakahāngai i ā rātou mahi me ā rātou whakapuakitanga, hei painga mō te pae tawhiti o ngā ākonga. Kei te manawanui ngā kaimahi ki te whakapakari ake i te hāngaitanga o ngā whakaakoranga ki Te Marautanga o Te Aho Matua.

Waihoki, ahakoa ko te reo Māori te reo whakaako, he mea nui hoki kia whakapakari ake te whānau i te reo hei tūāpapa o ngā akoranga katoa, puta noa i te kura. Ka hāpai nui taua tūāhuatanga i ngā putanga ki ngā tamariki. Me whakapakari ake i te reo Māori mō ngā ākonga.

E marohi ana Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga, kia aroturuki tonu ngā kaiārahi i te whai huatanga o ngā wawaotanga me ngā rautaki, kia āta kitea e pēhea nei te hāpai o aua tūāhuatanga i te ahu whakamua o ngā ākonga.

1 Introduction

The Education Review Office (ERO) in collaboration with whānau, leaders , kaimahi and their communities develop evaluation insights that foster accountability and improvement, identify progress and build evaluation capability. ERO’s reports provides important information for hapū and iwi.

2 Context

Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Pukemiro is a composite Te Aho Matua kura located in Kaitāia. Whānau provide education for students from Years 1 to 13. The Leadership has guided the whānau through a number of challenges, while always maintaining a focus on students in decision making. Staffing has been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. New wharekura staff have been appointed this year. A new block of classes has been built and opened recently whilst others are presently having foundations laid. A new perimeter fence has increased student safety.

How well do students demonstrate they are true and faithful to their own sense of personal integrity while being caring, considerate and cooperative with others?

Students show commitment to their personal integrity, while being caring, considerate and cooperative with others. They uphold Muriwhenuatanga.

4 Mana Tamariki

Students experience respectful relationships with others where their cultural identity is affirmed. Kaumātua relationships with students provide exposure to iwi language nuances and history. Whānau, hapū and iwi aspirations are included in forward planning documents. Most kaimahi have direct or indirect links to this area. Pakiwaitara are displayed throughout the kura and told through stories and waiata. Tupuna names have been given to akomanga. Tangata whenua roles and responsibilities uphold Muriwhenuatanga through formal tikanga and kawa. Teina l earn from tuakana who undertake significant leadership roles. Teina also experience opportunities to lead important cultural and tikanga practices. Students cooperate and interact with one another in multiple ways and demonstrate enthusiasm for learning through their efforts, energy and participation. Students show their unique gifts and abilities at a variety of times such as exercising personally individualised learning strategies. They express themselves in different ways. Students are learning about who they are and where they are from.

Kaimahi encourage respectful relationships by modelling consideration for others, celebrating student successes, encouraging mahi tahi and having systems that encourage participation. A range of internal and external programmes cater for diversity. Kaimahi believe in the tamariki. Low teacher to student ratios foster supportive interactions. Student accountability for learning is common and the language of learning is evident and scaffolded. Kaimahi use a variety of media and resources to engage all learners. Students sense of personal integrity is secure.

Leaders are working toward progressing the learning of a large group of students in the kura teina . Students needs are identified, monitored at the classroom level and regularly reported to kura leaders. Additional support programmes and resourcing have been put in place to increase success. Respective whānau are involved throughout processes and are informed about tamariki progress. Most students in the wharekura achieve very well in National Certificates of Educational Achievement (NCEA), including gaining merits and excellence. The students who sat university entrance gained this qualification. Students contribute to the development of graduate profiles.

Key Next Steps

Whānau, kaitiaki and ERO have identified that strengthening Te Aho Matua is an area for development. Whilst aspects of Te Aho Matua are evident, whānau acknowledge that it is time to increase their shared understanding of the kaupapa by aligning their efforts and contributions for the future of the students. Kaimahi are determined to strengthen teaching alignment with Te Marautanga o Te Aho Matua .

Similarly, while te reo Māori is the language of instruction, it is crucial that whānau strengthen Te Reo across the kura as this is the basis for all learning. This can significantly improve outcomes for tamariki. Strengthening te reo Māori for students is required.

Leaders and kaimahi have a range of strategies in place, in the kura teina , to accelerate the progress of students identified as being at risk of not achieving at the levels the kura desires. ERO suggests leaders continue to monitor the effectiveness of interventions and strategies to know how well these are supporting student progress.

5 Assurance on Legal Requirements

During the evaluation, ERO checked at the following areas:

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

school policies in relation to meeting the requirements of the Children’s Act 2014.

6 Recommendation

ERO and the kura board developed the following recommendation:

whānau work alongside Te Rūnanga Nui o Ngā Kura Kaupapa Māori o Aotearoa to strengthen te reo Māori and their understanding of Te Aho Matua

whānau and leaders continue to monitor the effectiveness of interventions and strategies to know how well these contribute to student progress.
