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 262 — 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.

1 He Kupu Arataki
Kua mahi ngātahi Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga, ngā whānau, ngā kaiārahi, ngā kaimahi me ngā hapori ki te whakawhanake i ngā tirohanga aromātai e whai wāhi nui ai ki te hāpai i te kawenga takohanga me te whakapaitanga, ki te tautuhi i te ahu whakamua, ā, ki te whakapakari ake hoki i te āheinga ki te aromātai. Ka whakarato ngā pūrongo a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i ngā mōhiohio mātuatua mā ngā hapū me ngā iwi.
2 Te Horopaki
Kia whakapakari ai i ā tātou tamariki kia tū rangatira ai rātou i roto i tō rātou ake ao
o Te Kura Kōkiri ki Pāpāmoa, ki Tauranga. Ka whakarato te kura i te mātauranga ki ngā tamariki o ngā tau 1 ki te 13, mā ngā tikanga whakaaro o Te Aho Matua. Ka tautoko te whānau i ētahi atu kura teina i te rohe o Tauranga. Kei te taupua tonu te wāhi tū o Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Te Kura Kōkiri.
3 Te Aronga o te Aromātai
He pēhea rawa te tū pakari, te tū rangatira o ngā tamariki hei raukura e whakatinana ana i ngā tūmanako me ngā wawata o ō rātou iwi?
E eke angitu ana ngā tamariki, ā, e whakatinana ana i ngā tūmanako me ngā wawata o ō rātou whānau, o Tauranga Moana whānui tonu hoki.
4 Ngā Whakaaturanga
Kei te tākare ngā tamariki ki te ako mā roto mai i te poho o ngā uara Māori me ngā whakapono Māori tuku iho. Ka toro atu ki ngā karakia, ngā waiata, me ngā mōteatea ki te whakatairanga ake i te ako a ngā tamariki. Ka whai wā ngā tamariki katoa ki te ārahi i aua kaupapa. Ko te māra kai, te whakatere waka hourua, me te toro atu ki ngā marae, he horopaki ako tūturu katoa e whakaratohia ana mā ngā tamariki. He hononga ā-whakapapa e paihere ana i te katoa o ngā tamariki, ngā kaiako, me ngā whānau. Ka kitea te aroha, te manaakitanga, me te whanaungatanga ki ngā taunekeneke katoa. He māoriori te hononga ki waenga i te tuakana me te teina, ā, ka whai pūtake hoki. Ko Tātai Raukura te pūkete mō te āhua o te ākonga i tana putanga i te kura, ā, ka akiaki i te ako a ngā tamariki i ō rātou hononga ki a Tauranga Moana. Toro atu ai ki ngā marae me ngā wāhi whakahirahira o ngā iwi o te takiwā nei i ia te wā. He aronga nahanaha ki te whakaako i te reo ā-iwi motuhake o Tauranga Moana ki ngā tamariki. He ngākau titikaha ō ngā tamariki, ā, ka oke rātou ki te whakatutuki i ngā wawata o ō rātou whānau, ō rātou hapū, me ō rātou iwi.
E tautokona ana te ako a ngā tamariki. He aronga ā-kura ki te whakarato i ngā akoranga tūturu me ngā akoranga ā-wheako mā ngā tamariki. Kei ia tamaiti tāna ake mahere mātauranga e arotahi ai ki ōna ake matea, ā, ka tautuhi hoki i ngā tino huarahi e whai pānga ana. Ka whakamahi hoki ngā tamariki i ngā taputapu matihiko ki te whakatakoto haere i ā rātou akoranga. Kei ia tamaiti tuākana tāna ake pūkete, ā, ka aru, ka aroturuki hoki i tāna ake ahu whakamua. Mō te whānuitanga tonu, he pai ngā raraunga paetae a ngā tamariki. I te kura teina, kua tautuhia e ngā kaiako ngā tamariki hei āta hāpai ake mā ngā hōtaka, pērā i Te Ara Poutama. I te wharekura, kei runga ake ngā paetae a ngā tamariki i te toharite ā-motu. E whai wāhi atu ana ngā tamariki ki ā rātou akoranga, ā, ka eke angitu.
Ko tā te tauira ārahitanga i te kura, he tohatoha i ngā kawenga. Kua roa te tumuaki e mahi ana ki te kura, ā, e tino tautokona ana i roto i te tangongitanga o ngā mahi. Ka tohaina ngā tūranga me ngā kawenga, ā, ka whakatairanga taua tūāhuatanga i te tauatanga a ngā kaimahi. Ko Tūmatakōkiri te angamahi a te kura, ā, ka akiaki i te whai wāhi mai o te whānau. Ka whai pānga hoki ki te whai wāhi mai o Te Aho Matua ki te pou here i te katoa o ngā whakataunga me ngā whakahaeretanga. E whanake haere ana te tukanga whakaaro huritao a te whānau. Aromātaihia ai i ia te wā ngā kōkiritanga o te kura, ki ngā wānanga me ngā hui ā-whānau. Aromātai ai ngā kaiako i ngā hōtaka akoranga i ia te wā. Ka kōrerohia hoki i ia te wā ki ngā hui kaiako, ko ngā taumata ā-tau me te ahu whakamua.
Ngā Whakaritenga Matua ka whai ake
E tū tonu ana te kura ki tētahi wāhi taupua, ā, kua roa nei ngā tau e pēnei ana. Kāhore i te rawaka ngā whare me ngā rauhanga. Me tahuri wawe mai te Tāhuhu o te Mātauranga ki te hāpai i te kura ki te rapu i tētahi atu wāhi e hāngai ake ai ki ngā wawata o te whānau mō te mātauranga.
E mōhio ana te kura, e tika ana kia whakapuakihia tētahi hōtaka mō te arotakenga o ngā kaupapa here. Ahakoa e hāngai ana te katoa o ngā kaupapa here me ngā tukanga ki ngā herenga ā-ture me ngā waeture o te wā, kāhore e āta kitea ana te arotakenga auau o ngā kaupapa here katoa.
5 Te Whakatau ki ngā Wāhanga Tautukunga
I mua o te arotake i whakatutukihia e te whānau me te tumuaki te 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 ō rātou herenga ā-ture e pā ana ki:
ngā whakahaerenga ā te poari
te marautanga
ngā whakahaerenga e pā ana ki te hauora, te haumaru me te oranga tinana
ngā whakahaerenga e pā ana ki ngā kaimahi
ngā whakahaerenga pūtea
ngā whakahaerenga e pā ana ki ngā rawa.
I te wā o te aromātai, i tirohia e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga ngā pūnaha mō te whakahaeretanga o ngā wāhanga e whai ake nei:
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.
6 Te Taunakitanga
E taunaki ana Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga me te poari o te kura, kia whakatutukihia ngā whakaritenga matua i tautuhia ai ki tēnei pūrongo kia whāia.

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 reports provide important information for hapū and iwi .
2 Context
Kia whakapakari ai i ā tātou tamariki kia tū rangatira ai rātou i roto i tō rātou ake a o
Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Te Kura Kōkiri is in Pāpāmoa , Tauranga . The kura provides education for Years 1-13 tamariki under the philosophy of Te Aho Matua . The whānau provides support to other satellite kura within the Tauranga area. Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Te Kura Kōkiri continues to be located on a temporary site.
3 Evaluation Focus
How well do tamariki demonstrate they are high achievers who exemplify the hopes and aspirations of their people?
Tamariki are achieving success and exemplify the hopes and aspirations of their whānau and Tauranga Moana .
4 Findings
Tamariki are enthusiastic about learning in an environment based on traditional Māori values and beliefs. Karakia , waiata and mōteatea are utilised to enhance tamariki learning. All tamariki have opportunities to lead these activities. Māra kai , waka voyaging, and marae visits provide tamariki with authentic learning contexts. Whakapapa connections link all tamariki , kaiako and whānau . Aroha, manaakitanga and whanaungatanga are evident in all interactions. Tuākana teina relationships are natural and meaningful. The graduate profile, Tātai Raukura , encourages tamariki to learn about their connections to Tauranga Moana . Excursions are regular to marae and places of significance to local iwi . There is also a deliberate approach to teaching tamariki the unique dialect of the Tauranga area. Tamariki are confident and strive to achieve the aspirations of their whānau, hapū and iwi .
Tamariki are supported in their learning. There is a focus kura -wide to provide authentic and experiential learning for tamariki . Each tamaiti has an individual education plan that focusses on their specific needs and identifies specific, relevant pathways. Tamariki also use digital tools to record their learning. Older tamariki have profiles where they can track and monitor their individual progress. Overall, tamariki achievement data is positive. In the kura teina, kaiako have identified tamariki that require support with programs such as Te Ara Poutama . In the wharekura, tamariki achievement exceeds the national average. Tamariki are engaged in their learning and experience success.
There is a distributive leadership model in place. The long serving tumuaki is well supported in a range of capacities. Roles and responsibilities are delegated and promotes succession planning amongst staff. The kura framework, Tūmatakōkiri , encourages whānau participation. It also acknowledges that Te Aho Matua underpins all decision making and management. There is a growing culture of reflection amongst the whānau . Regular evaluation of kura initiatives occurs at wānanga and hui whānau . Kaiako regularly evaluate the learning programmes. Annual targets and progress is regularly discussed at hui kaiako .
Key Next Steps
The kura continues to be located on a temporary site after a number of years. The current premises and facilities are inadequate. Urgent attention is required from the Ministry of Education to assist the kura to find a location that is more conducive to whānau aspirations for education.
The kura acknowledges the need to introduce a schedule for policy review. Whilst all policies and procedures align to current legislation and regulations, it is not always clear that all policies are reviewed on a regular basis.
5 Assurance on Legal Requirements
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 tamariki achievement:
emotional safety of tamariki (including prevention of bullying and sexual harassment)
physical safety of tamariki
teacher registration
processes for appointing staff
stand-downs, suspensions, expulsions and exclusions
attendance.
6 Recommendation
ERO and the kura board recommends addressing the key next steps identified in this report.
