Manurewa East School

Te Ara Huarau | School Profile Report

Background

This Profile Report was written within 6 months of the Education Review Office and Manurewa East School 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

Manurewa East School provides education for tamariki in Years 0 to 8. The school is situated on the eastern side of Manurewa in South Auckland. RTLB Cluster 12 and a Rosehill Satellite unit are situated at the school. The school’s kaupapa is based on the values of Kaitiaki, Ako, Whanaungatanga and Hauora.

Manurewa East School’s strategic priorities for improving outcomes for learners are:

• Attendance

• Indigenising our local curriculum

• Hauora.

You can find a copy of the school’s strategic and annual plan on Manurewa East School’s website.

ERO and the school are working together to evaluate how well culturally sustaining practices impact on valued outcomes for all ākonga.

The rationale for selecting this evaluation is to ensure equitable access to education for all and the need to prioritise ākonga hauora.

The school expects to see:

• improved ākonga progress in attendance, hauora, engagement and achievement

• strengthened reciprocal learning partnerships with whānau

• culturally responsive practices embedded

• equitable and excellent outcomes for all tamariki, with a focus on Māori and Pasifika ākonga.

Strengths

The school can draw from the following strengths to support its goal to evaluate culturally responsive practices:

• leaders are focused on evaluation for equity and excellence for all ākonga

• embedded school values promote hauora and culturally responsive practices

• partnerships with whānau and iwi support the developing localised curriculum.

Where to next?

Moving forward, the school will prioritise continuing:

• with professional learning and development related to culturally responsive practices

• to enhance hauora for Manurewa East School as a hub of the community.

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.
