2011 Annual Report

Cover design inspired by the artwork of

Bill RuawaiToimairangi Tauira

The design on the front cover of Te Pūrongo - Annual Report 2011 was inspired by Matariki (the Pleiades star cluster). Rongo is the god of peace and cultivated food, including kumara, taro, uwhi (yams) and hue (gourds). These tropical plants were brought to Aotearoa, a more temperate and severe climate than Hawaiki. Spiritual rituals were given to Rongo to enable these plants to grow. When ready, the plants were cultivated and eaten, including small sized hue. However, larger sized hue were shelled and dried, leaving only the hardened outer skin. When prepared, the hue could be used as a carrying vessel for water or food.

Matariki signifies the season to celebrate and to prepare the ground for planting crops. Matariki is also a time to educate in the lore of the land and the forest.

The central piece in the artwork is a carved hue surrounded by the stars of Matariki and signifies that, as with the cultivation of the hue, special environments are required for education to be sustaining so that it can bring about sustenance, health and wellbeing for all people.

Te Wānanga o Aotearoa can be likened to a hue or a vessel of valuable knowledge that provides educational opportunities that can transform whānau and generations. As Matariki represents new beginnings and growth, our values and kaupapa are the guiding principles that continue to drive us in the pursuit of excellence.

Hei WhakamaumaharaRemembrance

In 2011, we mourned the loss of many rangatira who had committed their lives

to improving the well-being of Māori as a means of moving towards a better

future. They pursued knowledge and wisdom and they lived their lives in the

service of others.

We profile some of them here and send our sympathy to all those who lost loved

ones in 2011. Although the pain of parting may dull over the years, the memory

of their time with us remains forever.

Dr Muriel Pimia ‘Nen’ WehiMNZM, QSMTe Aitanga a Mahaki, Te Whānau a Apanui, rongowhakaata, Te Whakatōhea, Ngāti ruapani

13th Hōngongoi 1929 - 5th Hui-tanguru 2011

In February, we were saddened to hear of the loss of the kapa haka icon Nen Wehi, ending

a sixty-year era of unequalled achievement and success in Māori performing arts. During her time, Nen and her husband Bub built a formidable reputation for composition, performance and tutoring unparalleled in modern times.

Nen represented Aotearoa New Zealand abroad at a wide range of events and occasions, performing at the first Festival of the Pacific Arts as well as accompanying government and official delegations all over the world. At home, she welcomed royalty, dignitaries and officials from other countries on behalf of all New Zealanders.

In recognition of her prowess, Nen was honoured on numerous occasions with countless awards and honours for her services to Māori and her achievements in the performing arts. She received an honorary doctorate from Massey university in 2001 and a Queen’s Service Medal in 2002. She was also awarded an MNZM in 2011.

We mourn the loss of this legend whose voice soared in the heavens with the songs of our people.

Joseph Tuahine Northover MNZM Ngāti Hine, Ngāti Kahungunu, Ngāti Porou

5th Poutū-te-rangi 1928 - 6th Paenga-whāwhā 2011

In April, thousands of mourners gathered at Ōmāhu Marae to farewell the highly

respected senior kaumātua Joseph Tuahine Northover.

Joe was a much sought after expert on tikanga and mātauranga Māori and on the oral arts – whaikōrero, ngā karakia tawhito, waiata and mōteatea. He was also an ordained minister of the ringatū religion.

Joe served as a representative on Hastings District Council’s Joint Māori Committee, as well as being kaumātua to Hastings District Council, Napier City Council, Eastern Institute of Technology, the NZ Police Eastern District, the 28th Māori Battalion, and Te Aute College.

Joe was a committed advocate for Māori with New Zealand Police, Napier/Hastings courts and as a Māori warden. Although he contributed his knowledge and wisdom on a wide range of boards and councils, it was his services to communities for which he was recognised with an MNZM in the Queen’s Birthday Honours in 2004.

The loss of one who holds such considerable knowledge and wisdom and whose kindness touches the lives of so many leaves behind a vacuum that it will take many people to fill.

Dame Kāterina Te Heikōkō Mataira DNZM Ngāti Porou

13th Whiringa-ā-rangi 1932 - 16th Hōngongoi 2011

In July, tributes began to flow from around the world at the news of the passing of

wāhine toa and rangatira Dame Kāterina Mataira.

Dame Kāterina was a key founder of the kura kaupapa movement and helped establish the first Māori language school at Hoani Waititi Marae in Auckland. She is also credited with helping initiate the current renaissance of te reo Māori and has been at the forefront of this revival for decades.

Dame Kāterina is known as an accomplished author, academic and artist and has written and published a number of ground-breaking novels and award-winning children’s stories.

In 1998, Dame Kāterina was made a Companion of The New Zealand order of Merit for her services to the country and she became a dame just a few weeks before she passed on.

Kāterina remains among us through her many outstanding achievements that have become a natural part of our lives.

26th Hōngongoi 1953 - 27th Hōngongoi 2011

Meagan spent 25 years working in the public sector and was involved in a wide variety of initiatives, including Atawhaingia Te Pā Harakeke – a parenting programme that was trialled in prisons.

3annual report 2011

In 2009, Meagan was seconded by the Ministry of Education to Ngāti Kahungunu to develop and manage the Ngāti Kahungunu Cultural Standards project. This project aimed to ensure local hapū knowledge was embedded in the curricula of mainstream schools, and Meagan worked tirelessly to achieve this goal.

Meagan was a committed member of the Māori Women’s Welfare league. Although she filled a number of roles in the league, she was elected president in 2008. Her three-year term was due to end in August 2011.

Meagan will be greatly missed by family and friends, but also by all those whose lives she touched during her lifetime of service.

Sir Paul reeves oNZ, gCMg, gCVo, CF, QSo Te Āti Awa

6th Hakihea 1932 - 14th Here-turi-kōka 2011

Sir Paul was Anglican Archbishop and Primate of New Zealand from 1980 to 1985

and was appointed the 15th governor-general (and first Māori governor-general) of New Zealand from 22 November 1985 to 20 November 1990.

Alongside the many significant roles he had in New Zealand, Sir Paul also worked internationally. He was Anglican observer for the united Nations from 1991-1993, observed elections in ghana and South Africa, helped write constitutions for Fiji and guyana and chaired the Nelson Mandela Trust.

Back home, Sir Paul chaired the Queen Elizabeth II National Trust and the Bioethics Council, and helped select judges for the new Supreme Court of New Zealand. He was also involved in helping his iwi Te Āti Awa negotiate their Treaty settlements.

Throughout his life, Sir Paul maintained a commitment to education. He held a number of visiting professorships and was the incumbent Chancellor of Auckland university of Technology at the time of his death.

Sir Paul was awarded New Zealand’s highest honour, the order of New Zealand, in 2007 and spent his life serving his church, his iwi and his country. We have lost one of our greatest statesman and rangatira.

Whatumoana PakiTe Aupōuri, Ngāti Whawhakia

2nd Hui-tanguru 1926 - 22nd Mahuru 2011

The governor-general Sir Jerry Mateparae, Prime Minister John Key and Pacific royalty made their way to Waahi Marae in

September to mourn the loss of Whatumoana Paki – loving husband of the late Māori Queen Dame Te Arikinui Te Atairangikaahu and father of Kīngi Tuheitia.

raised in Huntly, Whatumoana came from a humble background as a farmer and coalminer. He was also known for his commitment to the upkeep of marae along the Waikato river.

Whatumoana married our lady in 1952 and together they had seven children. Dame Te Arikinui Te Atairangikaahu ascended to the Kīngitanga throne in 1966, and Whatumoana began forty years of solid and loving support for Te Ata as she undertook her duties as monarch.

Whatumoana will be remembered as a humble and gentle man and a hard-working pillar of the Kīngitanga movement.

Sir Henare Kohere Ngata KBE Ngāti Porou

19th Hakihea 1917 - 11th Hakihea 2011

In November, Māori leaders from around the country gathered at Te Poho a rawiri Marae to farewell Sir Henare Ngata.

The youngest child of rangatira, politician and statesman Sir Apirana Ngata, Sir Henare was seen as continuing the great works started by his father: laying a platform to provide a secure future for Māori.

Sir Henare chaired the Mangatu Incorporation between 1959 and 1987, during which time he became an expert in Māori land management. He also served on a range of other bodies, including being an inaugural member of the New Zealand Māori Council from 1962.

In 1969, Victoria university conferred an honorary doctorate on Sir Henare, and he received a knighthood in 1982 for his services to Māori people.

Throughout his long life, Sir Henare maintained an active interest in issues relating to Māori and the Māori sphere. He believed education was the key to Māori people having a greater say in what goes on and saw this as the path to emancipation.

Organisational Overview2011

6 TE PŪRONGO 2011

Te Wānanga o Aotearoa remains committed to

supporting mātauranga Māori, protecting te reo Māori, and revitalising marae throughout the

country.

Founded in 1983 to provide education and training to help young people whose needs were not being met by the mainstream education system, Te Wānanga o Aotearoa delivers cultural, social, intellectual and economic transformation for tauira, their whānau, and their communities throughout Aotearoa New Zealand.

Te Wānanga o Aotearoa is grounded in Māori values in alignment with its character defined in the Education Act 1989. These values drive strategy and policy and are embedded in day-to-day activities; they advocate caring and supportive learning environments; they nurture tauira to achieve to the best of their abilities; they support high levels of tauira satisfaction; and they encourage unity amongst a highly motivated whānau whānui.

over recent years, Te Wānanga o Aotearoa has attracted many thousands of tauira who have been away from education for an extended period. Many of these tauira left school without a qualification; some were engaging in tertiary education for the first time; most had come to understand the importance of education after spending their working life either unemployed or underemployed. Te Wānanga o Aotearoa continues to provide opportunities for these people as they seek to realise their aspirations and to improve their options for securing meaningful employment.

Meanwhile, Te Wānanga o Aotearoa continues to focus its attention on those it was originally established to help: rangatahi. The aim is to encourage rangatahi to transition directly from secondary school into tertiary education. These efforts are undertaken to help eliminate the often lengthy gap many tauira experience between leaving secondary education and engaging with tertiary study. The strategy also supports the organisation’s drive towards cradle-to-cradle education – a philosophy that recognises not only lifelong learning, but also the transfer of knowledge between generations.

The long-term sustainability of Te Wānanga o Aotearoa is a key objective that will ensure the organisation remains available to future generations. Currency, agility and responsiveness to stakeholders are seen as central attributes to achieving this objective. However, Te Wānanga o Aotearoa also recognises the importance of fulfilling its wider responsibilities: to support the communities within which it operates and to protect and nurture the environment.

As always, Te Wānanga o Aotearoa remains committed to supporting mātauranga Māori, protecting te reo Māori, and revitalising marae throughout the country. Within these commitments, the whānau whānui welcomes people of all ethnicities and from all walks of life. Beyond valuing diversity, we understand that kotahitanga is our greatest strength. We understand that togetherness is the only forum through which we can work together to make our world a better place.

National operations are co-ordinated from Te Puna Mātauranga (head office) based in Te Awamutu. This map shows the location of each rohe.

Te Wānanga o Aotearoa group consists of the parent Te Wānanga o Aotearoa and three subsidiaries: open Wānanga limited (100% owned); Papatoa Forestry limited (100% owned); and Aotearoa Scholarship Trust (100% controlled).

8 TE PŪRONGO 2011

Report from the Chairperson of Te Mana Whakahaere Richard Batley

Richard BatleyChair – Te Mana Whakahaere

It gives me great pleasure to introduce this 2011 annual report for Te Wānanga o Aotearoa.

2011 marks a period of further momentum for Te Wānanga o Aotearoa and a continuation of the comprehensive performance that has characterised the institution’s achievement over the past five years.

The bedrock for the continued success of Te Wānanga o Aotearoa is a focus on quality and the continuous review and assessment of the educational offerings we provide and in the way we manage our business.

We enrolled 32,500 tauira in 2011, tauira numbers that we would have substantially exceeded were it not for our cap of 20,500 EFTS. Demand for our programmes continued to be high among Māori and Pasifika tauira, who made up 57 per cent of our enrolments for the year. Te Wānanga o Aotearoa continued its excellent academic performance in 2011 achieving nearly all the goals we set for ourselves.

It is a pleasure to again announce a surplus for Te Wānanga o Aotearoa. The year’s surplus of $7.28 million is a 17 per cent increase on the $6.2 million surplus achieved in 2010. This ensures we maintain an appropriate financial base to fund re-investment in programme development essential to meeting the changing requirements of the many communities we serve nationally. The strong financial base also provides the ability to invest in campuses, buildings and staff.

Developing and delivering programmes focused on employment outcomes and increasing youth participation have remained key strategic focuses for our institution this year, and this will continue in the coming years. Te Wānanga o Aotearoa will continue to provide educational solutions that lead to educational pathways and employment outcomes for students. Pivotal to the success of these endeavours are programme offerings that continue to be embedded and empowered with the unique cultural component of learning intrinsic to this institution.

We are continuing a review and assessment of our governance and strategy functions to ensure Te Mana Whakahaere is operating in the most productive and efficient manner. The review is nearing its final stages and we expect to present the findings to Te Mana Whakahaere in the coming months.

It is essential that Te Mana Whakahaere membership captures the many and varied skills required to provide sound governance and strategy for one of the country’s largest tertiary institutions. We must continue to govern in a manner that complements our unique teaching and learning philosophy, and we must also be reflective of the diverse communities we serve.

I would like to thank the members of Te Mana Whakahaere for their diligence and commitment during the year in guiding the strategy and focus for Te Wānanga o Aotearoa. I would also like to acknowledge Jo Hymers, Colleen Tuuta and raukura ropiha who were welcomed on to Te Mana Whakahaere this year and also acknowledge the 2010/11 tauira representative Matthew goodall for his work during the year.

Finally, I would like to thank Te Pouhere Bentham ohia, his management team and his staff for the continued strong performance they provide in meeting the educational needs of the people of Aotearoa New Zealand. The excellent educational and financial results the institution has continued to enjoy are a testament to the commitment and passion of the many hundreds who make up the Te Wānanga o Aotearoa team.

9annual report 2011

Governance

responsibilities

Te Mana Whakahaere (the council of Te Wānanga o Aotearoa) is appointed to govern the organisation in accordance with its statutory and regulatory obligations. Te Mana Whakahaere is responsible for decision-making within the organisation and for delegating operational responsibility to Te Pouhere (CEo) through the Delegations of Authority framework.

Membership

The constitution of Te Mana Whakahaere allows for four members appointed by the Minister for Tertiary Education, Skills and Employment; Te Pouhere (ex-officio); one member appointed from Business New Zealand; one member appointed from the Council of Trade unions, one member nominated by Kīngi Tuheitia; five co-opted members, one elected representative from the academic staff; one elected representative from the general staff; and one elected representative from tauira. The positions for members nominated by Kīngi Tuheitia and Business New Zealand are currently vacant.

Assessment of Performance

Te Mana Whakahaere completes a self-evaluation of its performance on an annual basis. In 2011, the self-review considered the evaluative dimensions of strategy and planning, organisational performance monitoring, te kawa o Te Mana Whakahaere, managing management, and Te Mana Whakahaere operations.

Meetings

Te Mana Whakahaere has 12 scheduled meetings per annum, but can meet on other occasions if circumstances require.

remuneration

remuneration for Te Mana Whakahaere members is determined in accordance with Cabinet office Circular Co (09) 5.

Sub-committees

Te Mana Whakahaere has established three sub-committees to help it meet its obligations. Each of these is described below.

• Te Ārai T ponoTe Ārai Tūpono (Audit and risk Management Committee) verifies that Te Wānanga o Aotearoa has appropriate processes in place to identify and manage risks. This is achieved by assisting Te Mana Whakahaere to oversee the integrity of financial reporting, internal control, risk management, and internal and external audit functions.

• Executive CommiTTeeThe Executive Committee assists Te Wānanga o Aotearoa to be a good employer by overseeing human resource strategy and setting remuneration and performance levels for Te Pouhere.

• Te Rautiaki M taurangaIn accordance with the Education Act 1989 section 182 (2), Te Mana Whakahaere established Te rautiaki Mātauranga (Academic Board) to advise it on matters relating to courses of study or training, awards, and any other academic matters. In addition, the sub-committee is responsible for promoting the maintenance and advancement of an indigenous body of knowledge and maintaining educational standards.

Responsiveness to Stakeholders

Primary stakeholder groups include tauira, iwi, industry and kaimahi.

Tauira views and needs are gathered through classroom evaluations and an annual graduate survey. Classroom evaluations provide a mechanism to respond quickly to the needs of tauira while the graduate survey provides Te Wānanga o Aotearoa with important feedback on improvements that can be made to tauira support systems, qualifications and tauira educational needs.

Kāpuia (the graduate community of Te Wānanga o Aotearoa) enables the organisation to stay connected with tauira who have graduated. Kāpuia helps former tauira to stay in touch with kaimahi and other tauira and provides access to scholarships. Kāpuia also enables Te Wānanga o Aotearoa to understand and measure the impact of an education at Te Wānanga o Aotearoa.

Te Kāhui Amorangi o Te Wānanga o Aotearoa is a national collective iwi forum. It is a nationwide network of stakeholders that provides input into the strategic direction and operations of the organisation. This enables Te Wānanga o Aotearoa to understand and capture the needs and aspirations of iwi.

Kōmiti Awhina forums are used to capture industry needs for qualifications being delivered at Te Wānanga o Aotearoa. This approach ensures that qualifications remain relevant to employers’ needs and enhances the future employment prospects of tauira.

Te Wānanga o Aotearoa employs nearly 1,400 kaimahi (1,098 FTEs) across Aotearoa New Zealand. Kaimahi are drawn from the often small communities within which the organisation operates. Because of this, the voices of community stakeholders are represented from within the organisation or through direct whānau links with kaimahi. These connections assist the organisation to understand community needs at a local and national level.

12 TE PŪRONGO 2011

Firstly, I give all glory, honour and praise to god, Te Atua, for the continual blessings we have been fortunate to receive. E Te Atua, manaakitia mai tātou katoa, ko koe Te Kīngi o ngā Kīngi, te tapu o ngā tapu, Kororia ki to ingoa tapu mo ake tonu atu.

As always, I acknowledge the founders of Te Wānanga o Aotearoa. our organisation grew out of a need to provide practical, transformational, community-based solutions through an educational kaupapa to address the challenges faced by Māori. This has extended to a sense of responsibility to provide opportunities for all New Zealanders and all peoples of the world. our goal is to make contributions that support whānau and families of all cultures to live life and bring to reality the fullness that life has to offer.

Iwi relationships and communities are at the centre of our kaupapa and are critical to our past, our present and our future. Te Wānanga o Aotearoa intentionally places its focus on whānau and we have aligned our organisation with this purpose through our mission, kaupapa and values and through our drive to contribute to ‘whānau transformation through education’.

I acknowledge our unique and privileged role as a wānanga under the Education Act 1989, which defines our purpose as follows:

‘A wānanga is characterised by teaching and research that maintains, advances and disseminates knowledge and develops intellectual independence and assists the application of knowledge regarding āhuatanga Māori (Māori tradition) according to tikanga Māori (Māori custom).’

I also acknowledge the many people who made considerable sacrifices and contributions to clear the way for this part of the act to become a reality.

I honour the privileged relationship we share with Te Wānanga o raukawa and Te Whare Wānanga o Awanuiārangi (both of which have been operating for many years and have been a huge support and great allies). Specifically, I would like to acknowledge Dr Turoa royal, who recently retired as Chair of Te Wānanga o raukawa after 40 years of service, and his wife Mary-rose. The contribution of the wānanga sector to date has been significant; however, our future contribution will require us to do more with less to achieve more. I have complete confidence that the wānanga sector will continue to make a significant contribution to addressing the needs of our people, our country and our world.

our tauira had an exceptional year in 2011, achieving an organisational course completion rate of 79% – well above the national average and 3% above our 2010 result. Priority groups (Māori, Pasifika and under 25 year olds) within our

tauira base continued their strong performance, with all groups exceeding course completion targets. I congratulate all our tauira who completed courses in 2011 and I look forward to seeing you at graduation.

At present, we are developing vocation and trades pathways, as well as opening up specific pathways based around our degree level provision. We are also creating relationships with strategic partners, including Southern Institute of Technology, Northtec, Manukau Institute of Technology, unitec, CPIT and Massey university (which has a presence in Auckland, Manawatu and Wellington). This work exemplifies our mission to be smarter in building pathways for our tauira, whether within our organisation or with our partner institutions. We will continue to invest in pathways that benefit our graduates and that aid development of their character, their career, their cultural knowledge and their competencies towards increasing the number of ‘transformers’ in our society. Moving forwards, this commitment will be expressed through increased masters and doctoral level provision and a return to delivering trade and vocational qualifications nationwide.

While we are working on pathways, we will also expand our provision to support our Pasifika whānau to realise their aspirations. over recent years, we have built strong and beneficial relationships with organisations like Pacific Business Trust and Village Sports Academy. In the coming years, we will advance our commitment to our Pasifika tauira by providing pathways to meet their needs at degree level. At this point, I would like to acknowledge the relationship we have had with the Pukapuka Training Academy in Māngere, which has now ended.

Work continued during the year to expand our degree portfolio, including development of a new master’s degree called He Waka Hiringa. This work is part of our commitment to increase the proportion of Te Wānanga o Aotearoa degree graduates over the coming years. This work will extend pathway options for tauira studying at Te Wānanga o Aotearoa, but will also provide options for those

at other institutions wishing to take advantage of all that our organisation has to offer. The ultimate aim of this strategy is to provide tauira with clear pathways towards careers, but also towards encouraging cultural and community contributions.

In 2011, Te Wānanga o Aotearoa initiated its journey to provide education for international tauira. our organisation already has substantial experience and a growing reputation for delivering English language programmes within Aotearoa

New Zealand. As a result, we believe we are perfectly placed to provide a globally distinctive educational experience for international tauira – one that weaves unique cultural elements through programmes and extracurricular activities. When combined with the organisation’s renowned manaakitanga and nurturing tauira support systems based in core Māori values, we have the potential to become a significant provider of education to international tauira.

This year, we further reinforced the financial stability of our organisation

with a surplus of $7.28 million (an improvement on our 2010 surplus of $6.2 million). This sound result is the product of an ongoing commitment by management across the organisation to operate in a fiscally prudent manner and maintain control over expenditure. I commend the members of our management team for their vigilance in this area of our business.

our o-Tautahi operations were affected significantly by the February 22nd earthquake in Christchurch. Thankfully, none of our tauira or kaimahi was harmed, but we were forced to close our offices and classrooms: some temporarily, some permanently. After the quake, a group of Te Wānanga o Aotearoa and open Wānanga kaimahi travelled to o-Tautahi as volunteers to support the collective efforts of the city. I know our volunteers were shocked, as I was, to see the extent of the damage. We send our thoughts and our aroha to all those who lost loved ones and those whose lives have been affected by this disaster. We remain committed to building our operations in o-Tautahi and to the ongoing provision of wānanga education in the city.

We will continue to invest in pathways that benefit our graduates and aid

the development of their character, their career, their

cultural knowledge and their competencies towards increasing the number of

‘transformers’ in our society.

14 TE PŪRONGO 2011

Ka pu te ruha, Ka hao te rangatahi! In 2011, after a twelve-year mission, we achieved one of our key goals of establishing a Te Wānanga o Aotearoa based secondary school initiative called Tai Wānanga. We opened our first Tai Wānanga centre, Tū Toa, in Palmerston North in 2011 in association with Tū Toa Charitable Trust. A key point of difference between mainstream education and this initiative is that Tai Wānanga aims to meet the needs of individual taiohi based on their passions while being supported within a whānau environment. All Tai Wānanga centres are based on academic excellence and are focused on cultural identity and contribution to community. 2012 will see a second Tai Wānanga established in association with Ngāti Wairere and Ngāti Mahanga in Waikato-Tainui. Based between the Crown research institute Agresearch and the university of Waikato, Tai Wānanga ki ruakura will focus on science and innovation.

our youth strategy Mātātahi Mataora also gained momentum in 2011, welcoming a significant number of rangatahi onto our Youth guarantee, Taikākā, STAr and gateway programmes. These programmes help rangatahi make a successful transition from secondary education to tertiary study and mark a return to our roots – delivering education to rangatahi whose needs are not being met by secondary schools. These initiatives also add a further link in our strategy to provide cradle-to-cradle education – a seamless progression of learning from early childhood to kaumātua level, but one that also acknowledges the bridge that must occur between generations. I look forward to seeing our Mātātahi Mataora initiatives flourish in coming years.

During the year, we added to our network of early childhood education centres (or kōhungahunga), establishing a centre at our Whirikoka campus. The new centre, named Whare Āmai, provides education to tamariki of tauira, kaimahi and whānau in the gisborne community and is another example of the organisation’s commitment to cradle-to-cradle education. We hope to open more of these centres in the near future.

During 2011, the government announced it would review the way it funds level 1 and 2 provision. This poses a huge threat to Te Wānanga o Aotearoa and to the many tauira who use our organisation as a gateway into tertiary education. This move also has the potential to destabilise the positive progress we have made during recent years. We continue to wait with concern for the outcome of the review. However, regardless of the outcome, we will adapt and continue to operate our wānanga sustainably.once again, I thank all who have contributed to the

performance of Te Wānanga o Aotearoa during 2011. This includes richard Batley and members of Te Mana Whakahaere, members of Te rautiaki Mātauranga (our academic board), members of Te Ārai Tūpono (our audit and risk management committee), members of the board of open Wānanga and kaumātua and kuia of Te Kāhui Amorangi o Te Wānanga o Aotearoa.

of course, I also give thanks for the opportunity to work among an outstanding whānau whānui whose dedication to our kaupapa year-on-year continues to strengthen the community of Te Wānanga o Aotearoa as well as the communities we serve.

And to our tauira, thank you for you choosing Te Wānanga o Aotearoa in your pursuit of knowledge and opportunity – we ask god’s blessing on you and your whānau.

Tauira Profile

A passion for learning and a commitment to his community led Tua Hekenui to enrol on Te Tohu Paetahi Ngā Poutoko Whakarara oranga - Bachelor of Social Work at Te Wānanga o Aotearoa (Porirua campus).

Currently in his first year of study towards the degree, Tua has been involved with Te Wānanga o Aotearoa for more than 15 years, both as a kaimahi and as a tauira. In 2003, he started work as a kaiāwhina in Waiouru after working with local schools. Tua also worked as a pouako/kaiako with the Te Wānanga o Aotearoa programme Tū Taua in 2008. He says, ‘The Wānanga has been really good for us. I didn’t think I’d ever leave, but things came up and I moved on… In saying that, I’m still tutoring part-time and am currently a student as well.’

Tua now works as a cultural therapist with the Mental Health Directorate at Te Whare Marie ki Puketiro. Previously, he has worked in both kaupapa Māori and non-Māori services within the mental health sector, but his current focus is on creating Māori frameworks and models that will provide for greater understanding of Māori issues. Tua believes better understanding in this area will lead to truly bicultural practices; it will enhance the relationship between the cultures and enable practitioners to work alongside each other for the benefit of patients. Tua finds this work incredibly rewarding. In particular, he loves having a job that enables him to give back to his community.

Tua was recently awarded a scholarship by Aotearoa Scholarship Trust, which he describes as ‘fantastic’ and says it’s a great incentive to keep on going. ‘I was a kaiako with Te Wānanga o Aotearoa for four years at Porirua campus and I absolutely loved it. During my time there, I grabbed hold of Te Kaupapa and Ngā Ture of Te Wānanga o Aotearoa. This organisation has created opportunities for me as a kaiako and now as a tauira.’

Sadly, Tua is no longer with us, having passed away in early 2012. His legacy lives on in the many contributions he made to our organisation, in the lives of the tauira he taught and in the memories of the many staff members who considered him a colleague and friend.

The Wānanga has been really good for us. I didn’t think I’d ever

leave…

New Qualifications

Te Wānanga o Aotearoa continued to strengthen its programme portfolio during 2011 through the development of a number of new qualifications and the review of existing qualifications. These activities ensure that programmes remain relevant to tauira and the communities in which they live. New programmes developed in 2011 were as follows.

National Certificate in Adult literacy and Numeracy Education - level 5

The National Certificate in Adult literacy and Numeracy Education is a non-EFTS funded, professional development programme for kaiako of Te Wānanga o Aotearoa. The programme strengthens kaiako expertise in embedding multiple literacies (functional literacy and numeracy as well as critical and cultural literacy) into vocational skills programmes to raise the foundation skills of adult learners in Aotearoa New Zealand.

The National Certificate in Adult literacy and Numeracy Education is underpinned by āhuatanga and tikanga Māori and uses a framework that aligns with the values and kaupapa of Te Wānanga o Aotearoa. This approach places Te Wānanga o Aotearoa at the forefront of literacy and numeracy education designed and delivered by Māori and for Māori.

Taumata raukura New Zealand Certificate in Career Preparation (Police) - level 4

Career preparation involves learning more than just the hard skills required for the job; it includes building a range of generic skills that promote a learner to the ranks of ‘preferred candidate’.

Designed in close consultation with NZ Police, Taumata raukura – New Zealand Certificate in Career Preparation (Police) – level 4 provides the specific and generic skills that help learners move up the list of applicants towards being preferred candidates for entry into the New Zealand Police College.

This exciting new programme replaces the highly successful Certificate in Career Preparation (Police) – level 3. The level 4 programme is founded on the principles of Kaupapa Wānanga, incorporates Māori cultural elements and values, and offers industry content that is current, relevant and applied.

Te Tohu Paetahi Mana Ao Tūroa (Taiao) Bachelor of Māori Advancement (Environment)

our relationship with our natural environment is coming into focus as we gain new understandings about the long-term and interconnected effects of loss of biodiversity, climate change, pollution and other human-initiated impacts on our planet. Sustainable enterprise has become the new modus operandi that will ensure our environment and the resources it offers remain available for future generations.

This three-year degree focuses on advancing Māori futures by balancing Māori economic development and enterprise with sustainable practices. Balance is achieved by providing tauira with tools, strategies and understanding through exploration of the theory and application of professional and personal sustainable practices. graduates will be sought after as environmental and sustainability advisors particularly in the primary industries, but also with agencies entrusted with balancing economic activity with environmental protection.


Major Redevelopments

Certificate in Hauora (Elderly Health Care) - level 4

our ageing population is creating increased demand for carers able to provide high-quality care for kaumātua in the home (whānau caring for whānau).

This level 4 programme offers learning in the fundamentals of care within the healthcare system in Aotearoa New Zealand. It provides carers with the skills to care for kaumātua as well as information needed to navigate the health system successfully and make informed decisions about care options. The programme also provides a range of strategies for carers to manage their own health and well-being while they provide care.

graduates from this programme are able to continue their studies in nursing or other care-related areas, or work as carers in rest homes and hospitals or privately.

Diploma in Te Arataki Manu Kōrero - level 5

The Diploma in Te Arataki Manu Kōrero – level 5 builds on knowledge and skills offered in the level 4 programme. As with the level 4 programme, key topics include tikanga, kawa kīngitanga, karakia, whakapapa, whaikōrero, tauparapara, waiata and karanga.

graduates leave this programme with extended knowledge of tikanga Māori and improved skills in whaikōrero and karanga. Development of skills in research and critical analysis increase understanding of rohe, waka, whakapapa, whānau, hapū, iwi and marae histories. Aside from the many voluntary roles filled by graduates from this programme, they are sought after as advisors and participants on councils and boards around the country, as well as in teaching and education roles.

Certificate in Te Arataki Manu Kōrero - level 4

The Certificate in Te Arataki Manu Kōrero – level 4 aims to strengthen Māori traditions and practices. Key topics include tikanga, kawa kīngitanga, karakia, whakapapa, whaikōrero, tauparapara, waiata and karanga.

This programme encourages and facilitates connections between tauira and their whānau, hapū, iwi and marae leading to greater knowledge of self and community. graduates leave this programme with enhanced te reo Māori, literacy and communication skills, and improved knowledge of tikanga Māori.

Certificate in Māori Performing Arts - level 4

The Certificate in Māori Performing Arts seeks to revitalise participation in toi Māori. This programme introduces tauira to kapa haka, drama, performance and oratorical skills with a deliberate focus on toi Māori and the application of āhuatanga Māori to performance studies.

During the programme, tauira develop skills in performance, production and āhuatanga Māori. Tauira also develop a portfolio of work that prepares them for higher level study. Employment options for graduates include stage, film and television, the tourism industry and teaching.

Measuring Performance2011

24 TE PŪRONGO 2011

Statements of Service PerformanceTe Wānanga o Aotearoa negotiates its output performance indicators and targets with the Tertiary Education Commission as part of the investment plan process and these form an integral part of the organisation’s investment plan commitments. Negotiated performance indicators represent a balance between the objectives of the government’s tertiary education priorities (stated in the Tertiary Education Strategy) and the strategic goals of Te Wānanga o Aotearoa. The diagram below shows the relationship between these objectives.

Te Wānanga o Aotearoa performed well against its performance targets during 2011, but particularly against targets that measure the organisation’s ability to attract tauira in priority groups, retain them for the duration of their qualifications and support them to achieve success in their studies. These indicators are of particular importance to Te Wānanga o Aotearoa, as they show

the effectiveness of educational strategies operating within the organisation. Furthermore, when tauira achieve success in these areas, they contribute to the organisation’s overall goal of achieving whānau transformation through education.

The following pages describe the success of Te Wānanga o Aotearoa, its kaimahi and its tauira in achieving the output performance indicators shown in the organisation’s Investment Plan 2011-2012. The results shown in these statements of service performance are subject to validation by the Tertiary Education Commission following submission by Te Wānanga o Aotearoa of its April 2012 Single Data return. Data for 2010 shown in this section have been extracted from Tertiary Education Commission reports titled Performance Indicator reports, Supporting Details and Contextual Information.

Targeting Priority Groups

Since inception, Te Wānanga o Aotearoa has worked to increase educational opportunities for specific priority groups that continue to be under-represented across the tertiary education sector. groups targeted as part of this ongoing commitment align with priority groups identified in the Tertiary Education Strategy, which aims to:• increase the number of Māori students enjoying success at

higher levels• increase the number of Pasifika students achieving at higher

levels• increase the number of young people (aged under 25)

achieving qualifications at level 4 and above, particularly degrees

• improve literacy, language, numeracy and skills outcomes for students studying at levels 1 to 3.

over the years, Te Wānanga o Aotearoa has established a solid reputation within Māori and Pasifika communities and continues to develop initiatives that encourage younger tauira to engage with tertiary education. In recognition of its unique tauira base, the organisation has implemented systems and processes that serve the needs of its people. In addition to tauira support activities that are an integral part of every programme, Te Wānanga o Aotearoa employed the following strategies to encourage participation and support the success of those in priority groups:

• delivering a diverse range of programmes at levels 1 to 3 that build confidence in re-engaged learners

• maintaining nil or low fees to eliminate financial barriers• offering foundation programmes that attract youth• delivering education nationally to provide access for those

who are geographically isolated• providing culturally appropriate pastoral care.

As in previous years, Te Wānanga o Aotearoa continued to attract significant numbers of tauira across all priority groups. Most significantly, the organisation increased participation by Māori and Pasifika tauira and exceeded course and qualification completion targets across all indicators.

This section describes achievement of investment plan performance targets for priority groups identified in the Tertiary Education Strategy (TES).

Investment Plan Performance Commitment: Proportion of SAC eligible EFTS enrolled who are Māori

In 2011, Te Wānanga o Aotearoa worked towards achieving two performance targets for Māori participation. The targets were specified as proportions of total SAC eligible EFTS consumed by Māori across two National Qualifications Framework (NQF) level groupings: 'levels 1 to 3’ and ‘level 4 and above’.

In 2011, Te Wānanga o Aotearoa exceeded by 5% its target of 22% of total SAC eligible EFTS being consumed by tauira Māori studying at NQF level 4 and above. Tauira Māori consumed 5,527 SAC eligible EFTS during the year, or 27% of the total. This strong result demonstrates the organisation’s continuing success at attracting and retaining Māori in higher level qualifications.

Māori participation at NQF level 4 and above offset participation at levels 1 to 3, leading to lower EFTS consumption for foundation level programmes. Tauira Māori consumed 5,187 SAC eligible EFTS at levels 1 to 3, or 26% of the organisational total. This outcome is 2% below the 2011 target, and reflects the organisation’s drive to increase the number of Māori enjoying success at higher levels. The shift by Māori to higher level learning also reflects recent developments in the organisation’s programme portfolio, which have seen the addition of new diploma and degree qualifications that have proved particularly appealing to tauira Māori.

SAC eligible EFTS consumed by tauira Māori studying at Te Wānanga o Aotearoa in 2010 and 2011 for each NQF level group were as follows.

Investment Plan Performance Commitment: Proportion of SAC eligible EFTS enrolled who are aged under 25 years

Te Wānanga o Aotearoa was originally founded to provide educational opportunities for young people whose needs were not being met by the secondary education system. This philosophy continues to drive initiatives designed to engage young learners as they transition from secondary education to the tertiary sector.

Te Wānanga o Aotearoa significantly exceeded its target for engaging tauira aged less than 25 years at NQF level 4 and above. The performance target was 3% of total SAC eligible EFTS. Tauira in this demographic consumed twice this proportion, or 6% of total organisational EFTS.

The 2011 target for the proportion of total SAC eligible EFTS consumed by tauira aged less than 25 years studying at NQF levels 1 to 3 was 8%. Te Wānanga o Aotearoa achieved this target with 1,637 (8%) of total SAC eligible EFTS being consumed by tauira within this demographic.

Achievement of this indicator results largely from the organisation’s ongoing commitment to engaging young people. This commitment was recently strengthened through the introduction of a range of youth initiatives referred to collectively as Te Hiringa rangatahi.

Te Hiringa rangatahi initiatives include the following.• Taik k is run in partnership with secondary schools and

provides alternative education options for those whose needs are not being met at school. The programme promotes achievement for tauira aged 13 to 15 years who have become disengaged from secondary schooling.

• Secondary Tertiary Alignment Resource (STAR) offers short courses that provide secondary school learners with opportunities to sample tertiary education and earn unit standards while remaining enrolled at secondary school. STAr courses at Te Wānanga o Aotearoa include learning in Māori arts, cultural knowledge and history, as well as a programme that introduces students to the police preparation programme run by Te Wānanga o Aotearoa.

• Youth Guarantee provides educational opportunities for 16 and 17 year olds whose needs are not being met by their secondary schools. Tauira choose from sports or computing/business administration programmes. Course completion rates of 70% show that these programmes, when coupled with effective and appropriate tauira support systems, can engage tauira successfully.

Te Hiringa rangatahi initiatives provide tauira with opportunities to experience tertiary-level study and effectively operate as feeder programmes for Te Wānanga o Aotearoa. Taikākā and STAr programmes are funded from outside the tertiary education vote; Youth guarantee programmes are funded from within it.

Investment Plan Performance Commitment: Proportion of SAC eligible EFTS enrolled who are Pasifika

In recent years, Te Wānanga o Aotearoa has attracted rapidly growing numbers of Pasifika people with tauira in this demographic close to doubling in the past five years (from 1,817 tauira in 2006 to 3,517 tauira in 2011).

In 2011, Te Wānanga o Aotearoa exceeded by 2% its performance target of 3% of SAC eligible EFTS consumed by Pasifika tauira studying at NQF level 4 and above. The organisation also achieved its 2011 target of 6% of SAC eligible EFTS consumed by Pasifika tauira studying at NQF levels 1 to 3.

The proportions of total SAC eligible EFTS consumed by Pasifika tauira studying at Te Wānanga o Aotearoa in 2010 and 2011 for each NQF level group were as follows.

The organisation was able to achieve these targets by working alongside the Pasifika community (particularly the Village Sports Academy) to identify needs, matching these with employment areas likely to experience growth, and then developing programmes to provide the appropriate employment skills. Programmes most sought after by Pasifika tauira studying at Te Wānanga o Aotearoa were those in the fields of computing, business administration and sports.

Investment Plan Performance Commitment: Proportion of level 1 to 3 courses that contain embedded literacy and numeracy

Many tauira studying at Te Wānanga o Aotearoa have previously had negative experiences with the secondary education system and, as a result, have been prevented from gaining basic skills that many New Zealanders take for granted. Key amongst these are literacy and numeracy.

Te Wānanga o Aotearoa implemented a strategy called Te Whakapahuhu Kahukura to embed literacy and numeracy learning in qualifications offered by the organisation. Te Whakapahuhu Kahukura takes a holistic approach to these areas of learning by recognising functional, critical and cultural literacies as essential elements in preparing tauira to learn and achieve to their fullest potential.

Te Wānanga o Aotearoa aimed to have literacy and numeracy components embedded in 23% of its programmes offered at NQF levels 1 to 3 in 2011. By the end of the year, 73% of courses had embedded literacy components. This considerable achievement was accomplished through the commitment of additional resources to this project.

Te Wānanga o Aotearoa fully understands the importance of maintaining a high performance organisation, not only to support the effectiveness of the tertiary sector as a whole, but also to ensure tauira are afforded every chance of achieving success in their studies.

The organisation’s performance commitments, negotiated during the investment plan process, are expressed as course completion rates, qualification completion rates, tauira retention rates, and tauira progression rates. Among other things, these indicators reflect the quality of qualifications, teaching methods and learning environments, as well as the quality of pastoral care provided by the organisation.

Investment Plan Performance Commitment: Successful course completion rate for all students (SAC Eligible EFTS)

In this context, a ‘course’ is a component of study that makes up a qualification. Course completion indicators provide a short-term view of tauira achievement, especially for those completing multi-year qualifications. They reflect the effectiveness of teaching and learning strategies and support systems in helping tauira achieve components of study.

Te Wānanga o Aotearoa significantly exceeded its course completion targets across all NQF levels in 2011. The organisation also recorded improvement on 2010 course completion results.

In 2011, Te Wānanga o Aotearoa recorded high course completion results for all TES priority groups (Māori, Pasifika and those less than 25 years) across all NQF levels. All priority groups exceeded their course completion targets.

of particular note are achievement rates for tauira less than 25 years and Pasifika tauira studying at level 4 and above (both groups exceeded their target by 11%).

other notable results are those for tauira Māori studying at level 4 and above and those for tauira less than 25 years studying at levels 1 to 3 (both groups exceeded their targets by 7%).

Course completion rates for all TES priority groups studying with Te Wānanga o Aotearoa in 2010 and 2011 were as follows.

Investment Plan Performance Commitment: Qualification completion rate for all students (SAC Eligible EFTS)

In this context, a qualification is made up of a set of courses that can be delivered over a time period that can range from 18 weeks to a number of years.

Qualification completion indicators provide a longer term view of tauira achievement and an organisation’s effectiveness in supporting success in its tauira. These indicators are important because tauira who complete a qualification have better future economic prospects than those who complete a number of courses but do not achieve a qualification.

Investment Plan Performance Commitment: Student retention rate for all students (SAC Eligible EFTS)

In this context, tauira retention (also called the ‘student continuation or completion rate’) shows the proportion of individual tauira enrolled in one year who either re-enrol in any course at the same TEo in the following year or successfully complete their qualification. The student retention rate is a measure of the effectiveness of pastoral support and classroom strategies in ensuring that tauira remain engaged in and achieve success in tertiary study.

In 2011, Te Wānanga o Aotearoa exceeded its student retention rate target by 7%. This result is a 3% improvement on the organisation’s 2010 result.

organisational Performance

Te Wānanga o Aotearoa is committed to ensuring that its unique and sought after brand of education remains available for future generations. As a result, ongoing financial viability remains a key goal in assuring the sustainability of the organisation.

The Tertiary Education Commission uses the Financial Monitoring Framework to establish a risk rating for each tertiary education organisation it funds. The framework has a risk rating scale from low through moderate to high risk.

The investment plan performance commitment target for Te Wānanga o Aotearoa in 2011 was to receive a rating of 'low risk'. During the year, the Tertiary Education Commission assessed Te Wānanga o Aotearoa against the Financial Monitoring Framework and returned a result of 'low risk'.

The tauira progression rate shows the proportion of tauira who progress to study at a higher level (either at Te Wānanga o Aotearoa or at another institution) after completing a qualification. The indicator applies to tauira studying at NQF levels 1 to 3 only. Progression indicates whether tauira who study at foundation level are gaining the skills and confidence to study at higher levels.

The tauira progression rate target for Te Wānanga o Aotearoa in 2011 was 39%, and the organisation achieved a progression rate of 38% for the year. Te Wānanga o Aotearoa acknowledges that progression is an important indicator of the ability of tauira following a pathway to higher levels of education and will commit additional resources to improve its performance in this area in 2012.

Supporting quality research that helps drive innovation

Te Wānanga o Aotearoa is charged with the responsibility of providing leadership for the tertiary sector in the area of mātauranga Māori. responsible leadership in this field relies on developing a common ground on which can be built understandings that are progressive, transparent and accountable to all parties. This is achieved through a framework founded on Māori epistemologies and on the essential principles of āhuatanga and tikanga Māori.

The term rangahau describes research activities occurring at Te Wānanga o Aotearoa, the goals of which are:• to increase the number of Māori learners engaging in rangahau

activities• to strengthen kaimahi capability and engagement in rangahau

related to mātauranga Māori• to disseminate rangahau findings to enhance teaching and learning.

During 2011, 140 kaimahi delivered presentations at national and international conferences. Kaimahi also published 113 research papers.

Among other activities that contributed to meeting its rangahau objectives, Te Wānanga o Aotearoa hosted the Wānanga Intelligentsia Symposium – Moving Beyond the Academy. This symposium provided a forum for indigenous and non-indigenous scholars to share rangahau that challenges assumptions and develops new frontiers of knowledge.

Tauira Information

Tauira SatisfactionThe 2011 Tauira graduate Survey indicated high levels of satisfaction and positive outcomes for tauira. Some highlights from the survey are:

Tauira EngagementTe Wānanga o Aotearoa is committed to providing educational opportunities through its national network of campuses and delivery sites. Tauira engagement is measured by the number of tauira enrolling at Te Wānanga o Aotearoa and the number of EFTS consumed each year.

During 2011, Te Wānanga o Aotearoa recorded a decrease in both the number of tauira enrolling (-1,104) and the number of EFTS consumed (-1,243). These decreases are in part a result of Te Wānanga o Aotearoa shifting its mix of provision to more degree-level qualifications and qualifications with higher funding rates in an environment of government fiscal constraint.

The following chart show tauira numbers for 2009 to 2011.

In 2011, Te Wānanga o Aotearoa consumed 20,417 SAC EFTS against a target of 20,500 SAC EFTS. The variation between the target and consumed EFTS is 83 consumed EFTS or 0.41%. This variation falls within the ±3% threshold set down by the Tertiary Education Commission.

Combining skills in graphic design, te reo Māori and kapa haka with a Korowai Ākonga teaching qualification will make lisa-Maree Myers highly sought after once she completes her studies.

A high achiever, lisa-Maree attended James Cook High School (Manurewa) where she was head girl. She excelled in graphic design, te reo Māori and media studies, and received the Fraser Cup for all round school excellence. She also received an honorary medal for school services and the Kawiti Tupaea Memorial Trophy for her contribution to te reo Māori.

Now 21 years old, lisa-Maree already has her diploma in graphic design from NATColl and is currently studying towards Te Korowai Ākonga, the bachelor of teaching qualification at the Manukau campus of Te Wānanga o Aotearoa. Her plan is to finish her studies and then work in primary schools for a few years before moving to a secondary school to teach design.

lisa-Maree has always been committed to te reo Māori and kapa haka saying, ‘I lived it and breathed it for five years, and even after that I had to keep going back’. In fact, lisa-Maree is still heavily involved at James Cook High School tutoring the kapa haka group and working as a tutor of te reo Māori at the Taonga Teen Parent unit. lisa-Maree has two young children of her own and is an example of how, with a lot of determination and a little support, parenting, working and studying at a young age can be done.

Talking about her decision to study at Te Wānanga o Aotearoa, lisa-Maree says, ‘I had applied to another tertiary provider, but the course was full. A friend of mine suggested Te Wānanga o Aotearoa and I’m so glad I did now: everything suits. It’s community-based, it fits with my commitment to the Māori culture, the hours are suited to a family lifestyle, it’s close to home and the whole campus is whānau-oriented. I have friends who are studying at other tertiary providers and they’re really struggling, as they don’t have the same support. I’m loving it, absolutely loving it.’

lisa-Maree is one of four 2011 recipients of a $5,000 Te Korowai Ākonga scholarship from the Aotearoa Scholarship Trust.

overall financial performance

The results show a solid performance by the organisation as follows:• The Tertiary Education Commission, having observed

Te Wānanga o Aotearoa consistently achieving financial criteria set down for tertiary institutions, has assessed the institution as ‘low risk’.

• All budget targets were achieved.• Working capital continues to grow when compared with

previous years.• Net assets (equity) have increased by $7 million during the

year.• Te Wānanga o Aotearoa continues to have healthy cash

reserves.

Equivalent Full Time Students (EFTS)

our total consumed EFTS for the 2011 year was 20,417 – a decrease of 5.7% (1,243 EFTS) on 2010 results. The decrease in EFTS came from reduced enrolments on business programmes, Mahi ora, Mauri ora and Te Tohu Mātauranga. our highest enrolling programmes were the same as last year – being Te Ara reo Māori, Mauri ora, and computing, business, English language, social sciences, and health and sports programmes.

Te Wānanga o Aotearoa achieved 98.75% of EFTS funding and 98.9% of EFTS numbers. As this funding value falls within the TEC threshold (±3%), the organisation received 100% of its allocated funding for the year. The reduction in EFTS from 2010 to 2011 is also reflected in lower than budgeted tauira fees income along with lower than budgeted expenditure for teaching and tauira resources.

Income

The profile of our income streams is shown in the table below.

Source 2011 2010 2009 2008 2007

government funding 89% 90% 90% 92% 90%

Student fees 4% 4% 3% 2% 2%

other (e.g. interest, joint ventures) 7% 6% 7% 6% 8%

The income profile for 2011 remained consistent with the profile from previous years. government funding remains the primary source of revenue for the organisation; however, this decreased when compared with 2010, mainly as a result of the Quality reinvestment Plan being completed. Student fees, contract income and interest earnings continue to increase steadily.

Expenditure

The profile of our expenditure is shown in the table below.

Depreciation 5% 5% 6% 7% 9%

Impairment of Assets 1% 1% - 1% 2%

42 TE PŪRONGO 2011

Personnel costs continue to increase relative to other expenditure types. This is due to a number of factors including employing staff with higher qualifications, employing staff rather than contractors, increasing support staff for our tauira and general cost of living increases.

resource and administration costs have continued to decrease as a result of management’s focus on keeping variable costs under tight control. We have entered into a number of procurement contracts which are enabling us to gain better value for money than in previous years.

Property costs have remained fairly stable for the past five years. This is a result of our property rationalisation that occurred in earlier years and an ongoing commitment to ensuring we maximise utilisation of our existing space. Depreciation costs have steadily decreased over the past five years as a result of rationalising our balance sheet and changing our capitalisation thresholds.

Comprehensive Income

land and buildings were revalued in 2010 and are due to be revalued again in 2012. For 2011, we have satisfied ourselves that there has been no material shift in property values and have therefore not undertaken a formal valuation exercise.

Financial Position

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash, cash equivalents and other financial assets in 2011 exceeded budget by $9.6 million. We are $5.3 million down on cash, $16.6 million up on short term deposits and $0.7 million down on long term investments when compared with budget. This variance results from less than anticipated spend on property, plant and equipment and programme development. It also results from better than budgeted cash flow from operating activities, in particular payments to suppliers.

over the year, we increased our investment in short term financial assets with maturities from 3-12 months by $8.9 million; however, during the same period we decreased our investment in long term financial assets with maturities of more than 12 months by $3.6 million. This enabled us to continue to gain reasonable income from interest earnings.

Working Capital

The organisation had a positive working capital balance at the end of the year of $33.8 million. This is an increase of $8 million on the 2010 result. The increase was created through current assets increasing (particularly short term financial assets); however, this was partially offset by current liabilities increasing as well (in particular, creditors and other payables).

Non-current Assets

overall, non-current assets decreased by $0.7 million. This resulted from a decrease in longer term investments of $3.7 million and was offset by the purchase of property, plant and equipment ($2.5 million).

Twelve programmes were developed during the year along with the purchase of software at a total cost of $5.4 million. As a result of amortisation and impairment, there was little movement over the year in intangible assets.

Net Assets

Net assets as at year end are now $133.8 million – an increase of $7.3 million on 2010.

Cash Flow

The strong closing cash position for the year shows the results of a focused approach to maximising our earning potential from our surplus cash. During 2011, we achieved interest revenue of $3.5 million –slightly above the amount received in 2010. This strong result was achieved through investing in investment-rated financial institutions and varying lengths of deposit terms within our credit risk criteria. The average interest rate for cash and current financial assets in 2011 was 4.01%. This is a decrease of 1.41% from the 2010 result.

During 2011, our cash and cash equivalents (both short and long term) increased from $54 million to $60 million. The net surplus for the year was $7.3 million; however, when non-cash items are removed, net operating inflow of cash to the organisation was $16.9 million.

We had a net cash outflow of $16 million on investing activities. This expenditure relates mainly to property, plant and equipment, and programme development. We developed 12 new programmes in 2011, compared with 13 in 2010. The concentration in 2011, as was the case in 2010, on property, plant and equipment has been the completion of major improvements on many of our large sites rather than the acquisition of new buildings.


Statement of Responsibility

Independent Auditor’s Report

To the readers of Te Wānanga o Aotearoa Te Kuratini o Ngā Waka and group’s financial statements and statement of service performance for the year ended 31 December 2011.

The Auditor General is the auditor of Te Wānanga o Aotearoa Te Kuratini o Ngā Waka (the Wānanga) and group. The Auditor General has appointed me, B H Halford, using the staff and resources of Audit New Zealand, to carry out the audit of the financial statements and statement of service performance of the Wānanga and group on her behalf.

We have audited:• the financial statements of the Wānanga and group on pages 46 to 92, that comprise the statement of financial position

as at 31 December 2011, the statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the year ended on that date and the notes to the financial statements that include accounting policies and other explanatory information; and

• the statement of service performance of the Wānanga and group on pages 24 to 31.

Opinion

In our opinion:• the financial statements of the Wānanga and group on pages 46 to 92:

- comply with generally accepted accounting practice in New Zealand; and- fairly reflect the Wānanga and group’s:

· financial position as at 31 December 2011; and· financial performance and cash flows for the year ended on that date;

• the statement of service performance of the Wānanga and group on pages 24 to 31 fairly reflects the Wānanga and group’s service performance achievements measured against the performance targets adopted for the year ended 31 December 2011.

Our audit was completed on 28 March 2012. This is the date at which our opinion is expressed.

The basis of our opinion is explained below. In addition, we outline the responsibilities of the Council and our responsibilities, and we explain our independence.

Basis of opinion

We carried out our audit in accordance with the Auditor General’s Auditing Standards, which incorporate the International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand). Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and carry out our audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and statement of service performance are free from material misstatement.

Material misstatements are differences or omissions of amounts and disclosures that would affect a reader’s overall understanding of the financial statements and statement of service performance. If we had found material misstatements that were not corrected, we would have referred to them in our opinion.

An audit involves carrying out procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and statement of service performance. The procedures selected depend on our judgement, including our assessment of risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and statement of service performance, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the Wānanga and group’s preparation of the financial statements and statement of service performance that fairly reflect the matters to which they relate. We consider internal control in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Wānanga and group’s internal control.


B H HalfordAudit New ZealandOn behalf of the Auditor-GeneralTauranga, New Zealand

An audit also involves evaluating:• the appropriateness of accounting policies used and whether they have been consistently applied;• the reasonableness of the significant accounting estimates and judgements made by the Council;• the adequacy of all disclosures in the financial statements and statement of service performance; and• the overall presentation of the financial statements and statement of service performance.

We did not examine every transaction, nor do we guarantee complete accuracy of the financial statements and statement of service performance. We have obtained all the information and explanations we have required and we believe we have obtained sufficient and appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Responsibilities of the Council

The Council is responsible for preparing financial statements that:• comply with generally accepted accounting practice in New Zealand; and• fairly reflect the Wānanga and group’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows.

The Council is also responsible for preparing a statement of service performance that fairly reflects the Wānanga and group’s service performance achievements.

The Council is responsible for such internal control as it determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements and a statement of service performance that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

The Council’s responsibilities arise from the Education Act 1989 and the Crown Entities Act 2004.

Responsibilities of the Auditor

We are responsible for expressing an independent opinion on the financial statements and statement of service performance and reporting that opinion to you based on our audit. Our responsibility arises from section 15 of the Public Audit Act 2001 and the Crown Entities Act 2004.

Independence

When carrying out the audit, we followed the independence requirements of the Auditor General, which incorporate the independence requirements of the New Zealand Institute of Chartered Accountants.

Other than the audit, we have no relationship with or interests in the Wānanga or any of its subsidiaries.

Standards, amendments and interpretations issued but are not effective that have not been early adopted, and which are relevant to Te Wānanga o Aotearoa include:• NZ IFrS 9 Financial Instruments will eventually replace

NZ IAS 39 Financial Instruments: recognition and Measurement.

• NZ IAS 39 is being replaced through the following 3 main phases:

- Phase 1 - Classification and measurement; - Phase 2 - Impairment methodology; and - Phase 3 - Hedge Accounting.

Phase 1 on the classification and measurement of financial assets has been completed and has been published in the new financial instrument standard NZ IFrS 9. NZ IFrS 9 uses a single approach to determine whether a financial asset is measured at amortised cost or fair value, replacing the many different rules in NZ IAS 39. The approach in NZ IFrS 9 is based on how an entity manages its financial instruments (its business model) and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets. The new standard also requires a single impairment method to be used, replacing the many different impairment methods in NZ IAS 39. The new standard is required to be adopted for the year ended 31 December 2013.

Te Wānanga o Aotearoa has not yet assessed the impact of the new standard and will assess the appropriateness of early adoption once the assessment is completed.

FrS 44 New Zealand Additional Disclosures and Amendments to NZ IFRS to harmonise with IFRS and Australian Accounting Standards (Harmonisation Amendments)

These were issued in May 2011 with the purpose of harmonising Australia and New Zealand's accounting standards with source IFrS and to eliminate many of the differences between the accounting standards in each jurisdiction. The amendments must first be adopted for the year ended 31 December 2012.

Te Wānanga o Aotearoa has not yet assessed the effects of FrS 44 and the Harmonisation Amendments.

Except for the impending changes outlined on the initial application of NZ IFrS 9 Financial instruments and FrS-44 New Zealand disclosures and amendments of NZ IFrS to harmonise with oFrS and Australian Accounting Standards (harmonisation amendments), there are no other standards or interpretations that have been issued but not yet effective, that are applicable to Te Wānanga o Aotearoa.

As the External Accounting reporting Board is consulting on a new accounting standards framework for public benefit entities, it is expected that all new NZ IFrS and amendments to existing NZ IFrS with a mandatory effective date for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2012 will not be applicable to public benefit entities. This means that the financial reporting requirements for public benefit entities are expected to be effectively frozen in the short term. Accordingly, no disclosure has been made about new or amended NZ IFrS that exclude public benefit entities from their scope.

Basis of consolidation

The purchase method is used to prepare the consolidated financial statements, which involves adding together like items of assets, liabilities, equity, income and expenses on a line-by-line basis. All significant intra-group balances, transactions, income and expenses are eliminated on consolidation.

Subsidiaries

Te Wānanga o Aotearoa consolidates as subsidiaries in the group financial statements all entities where Te Wānanga o Aotearoa has the capacity to control their financing and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from the activities of those entities. This power exists where Te Wānanga o Aotearoa controls the majority voting power on the governing body or where such policies have been irreversibly predetermined by Te Wānanga o Aotearoa or where the determination of such policies is unable to materially impact the level of potential ownership benefits that arise from the activities of the subsidiary.

Investments in subsidiaries are carried at cost in the parent entity financial statements of Te Wānanga o Aotearoa.

going concern

reliance is placed on the fact that Te Wānanga o Aotearoa is a going concern and that sufficient funds are available or will become available to maintain current operations to at least their current level.

Foreign currency translation

Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency at the exchange rates ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date.

Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate as at the date of the initial transaction.

Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined.


Depreciation

Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis on all property, plant and equipment other than land at rates that will write off the cost (or valuation) of the assets to their estimated residual values over their useful lives. The useful lives and associated depreciation rates of major classes of assets have been estimated as follows.

Asset class range of useful lives in years

range of depreciation

rates

Buildings 3 to 50 2% to 33.33%

leasehold improvements 2 to 10 10% to 50%

Equipment 5 to 5 20% to 20%

Computers 2 to 4 25% to 50%

Furniture and fittings 5 to 5 20% to 20%

Motor vehicles 5 to 5 20% to 20%

Waka 10 to 10 10% to 10%

library books 10 to 10 10% to 10%

library subscriptions 2 to 2 50% to 50%

leasehold improvements are depreciated over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated remaining useful life of the improvements whichever is the shorter.

The residual value and useful life of an asset is reviewed and adjusted if applicable, at the end of each financial year end.

Revaluations

land and buildings are revalued at least every two years and with sufficient regularity to ensure that the carrying amount does not differ materially from fair value. Fair value is determined from market-based evidence by an independent valuer. All other asset classes are carried at depreciated historical cost.

The carrying values of revalued items are reviewed at each balance date to ensure that they are not materially different to fair value. Additions made are recorded at cost until revalued.

Non-current assets held for sale

Non-current assets held for sale are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. Non-current assets held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.

Any impairment losses for write-downs of non-current assets held for sale are recognised as an expense in the statement of comprehensive income.

Any increases in fair value (less costs to sell) are recognised up to the level of any impairment losses that have previously been recognised.

Non-current assets held for sale (including those that are part of a disposal group) are not depreciated or amortised while they are classified as held for sale.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment asset classes consist of land and buildings, leasehold improvements, equipment, computers, furniture and fittings, motor vehicles, waka, library books and artwork. The measurement bases used for determining the gross carrying amount for each class of assets is as follows: • land and buildings are measured at cost or

valuation less subsequent accumulated depreciation on buildings and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

• Artwork is held at cost and is not depreciated.• All other asset classes are stated at cost less

accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment in value.

Accounting Policies

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with NZ IFrS and NZ gAAP. The accounting policies that materially affect the measurement of financial performance, financial position and cash flows are set out below.

54 TE PŪRONGO 2011

Accounting for revaluations

Te Wānanga o Aotearoa accounts for revaluations of property, plant and equipment on a class of asset basis.

The net revaluation results are credited or debited to other comprehensive income and accumulated to an asset revaluation reserve in equity for that class of asset. Where this would result in a debit balance in the asset revaluation reserve, this balance is not recognised in other comprehensive income, but is recognised in the surplus or deficit. Any subsequent increase on revaluation that reverses a previous decrease in value recognised in the surplus or deficit will be recognised first in the surplus or deficit up to the amount previously recorded, and then recognised in other comprehensive income.

Additions

The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised as an asset if, and only if, it is probable that future economic benefits or service potential associated with the item will flow to Te Wānanga o Aotearoa and the cost of the item can be measured reliably.

Work in progress is recognised at cost less impairment and is not depreciated.

In most instances, an item of property, plant and equipment is initially recognised at its cost. Where an asset is acquired at no cost, or for a nominal cost, it is recognised at fair value as at the date of acquisition.

Disposals

gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying value of the asset. gains and losses on disposals are recognised in the surplus or deficit.

When revalued assets are sold, the amounts included in revaluation reserve in respect of those assets are transferred to retained earnings.

Subsequent costs

Costs incurred subsequent to initial acquisition are capitalised only when it is probable that future economic benefits or service potential associated with the item will flow to Te Wānanga o Aotearoa and the cost of the item can be measured reliably.

The costs of day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognised in the surplus or deficit as they are incurred.

Intangible assets

Computer software

Computer software is separately acquired and capitalised at its cost as at the date of acquisition. After initial recognition, separately acquired intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.

Course development costs

Course development costs relate to development of educational courses and are capitalised once accreditation has been received and when it is probable that future economic benefit arising from use of the intangible asset will flow to the group.

Following initial recognition of course development costs, the cost model is applied and the asset is carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.

Amortisation

A summary of policies applied to the group's intangible assets is as follows:

Computer software

Course development costs

useful lives Finite - 5 years Finite - 5 years

Method used Straight line methodStraight line

method from course commencement

Internally generated/acquired

Separately acquired Internally generated/separately acquired

The amortisation period and amortisation method for each class of intangible asset having a finite life are reviewed at the end of each financial year. If the expected useful life or expected pattern of consumption is different from the previous assessment, changes are made accordingly.

The carrying value of each class of intangible asset is reviewed annually for indicators of impairment. Intangible assets are tested for impairment where an indicator of impairment exists.

gains or losses arising from de-recognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognised in the surplus or deficit when the asset is de-recognised.

All other research and development costs are recognised expenses in the surplus or deficit in the year in which they are incurred.

3


Impairment of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets

Intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life or are not yet available for use are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment. Assets that have a finite useful life are reviewed for indicators of impairment at each balance date. When an asset is found to be impaired, a recoverable amount is estimated. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use.

Value in use is depreciated replacement cost for an asset where the future economic benefits or service potential of the asset are not primarily dependent on the asset's ability to generate net cash inflows and where Te Wānanga o Aotearoa would, if deprived of the asset, replace its remaining future economic benefits or service potential.

The value in use for cash-generating assets is the present value of expected future cash flows.

If an asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is impaired and the carrying amount is written down to the recoverable amount. For revalued assets the impairment loss is recognised in other comprehensive income to the extent the impairment loss does not exceed the amount in the revaluation reserve in equity for that same class of asset. Where that results in a debit balance in the revaluation reserve, the balance is recognised in the surplus or deficit.

For assets not carried at a revalued amount, the total impairment loss is recognised in the surplus or deficit.

The reversal of an impairment loss on a revalued asset is credited to other comprehensive income and increases the asset revaluation reserve for that class of asset. However, to the extent that an impairment loss for that class of asset was previously recognised in the surplus or deficit, a reversal of the impairment loss is also recognised in the surplus or deficit.

For assets not carried at a revalued amount, the reversal of an impairment loss is recognised in the surplus or deficit.

Financial assets

All financial assets are initially recognised at cost, being the fair value of the consideration given and, in the case of a financial asset, not at fair value through other comprehensive income, including acquisition charges associated with the financial asset.

After initial recognition, financial assets which are classified as available-for-sale are measured at fair value, or at amortised cost in cases where the fair value cannot be reliably measured.

gains or losses on available-for-sale financial assets are recognised as a separate component of equity until the financial asset is sold, collected or otherwise disposed of, or until the financial asset is determined to be impaired, at which time the cumulative gain or loss previously reported in equity is included in other comprehensive income.

Non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity are classified as held-to-maturity when Te Wānanga o Aotearoa has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity. Financial assets intended to be held for an indefinite period are not included in this classification.

Non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market are classified as loans and receivables. Financial assets in bank deposits are classified as loans and receivables.

Financial assets that are intended to be held-to-maturity or those classified as loans and receivables are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition over the period to maturity.

gains and losses for financial assets carried at amortised cost are recognised in income when the financial assets are de-recognised or impaired. They are also recognised through the amortisation process.

Where there is no quoted market price for financial assets, fair value is determined by reference to the current market value of another instrument which is substantially the same or is calculated based on the expected cash flows of the underlying net asset base of the financial asset. Where the fair value cannot be reliably determined the financial assets are measured at cost.

54

56 TE PŪRONGO 2011

benefit entities. Consequently, all borrowing costs are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

Provision

Provisions are recognised when Te Wānanga o Aotearoa has an obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are determined by discounting expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability.

Provisions are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. Where it is no longer probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, the provision will be reversed.

Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.

Employee entitlements

Short-term employee entitlements

Employee entitlements that Te Wānanga o Aotearoa expects to be settled within 12 months of balance date are measured at undiscounted nominal values based on accrued entitlements at current rates of pay. These include salaries and wages accrued up to balance date, annual leave earned, but not yet taken at balance date, and sick leave.

Te Wānanga o Aotearoa recognises a liability for sick leave to the extent that compensated absences in the coming year are expected to be greater than the sick leave entitlements earned in the coming year. The amount is calculated based on the unused sick leave entitlement that can be carried forward at balance date to the extent Te Wānanga o Aotearoa anticipates it will be used by staff to cover those future absences.

Inventories

Inventories held for distribution or consumption in the provision of services that are not issued on a commercial basis is measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Where inventories are acquired at no cost or for nominal consideration, the cost is the current replacement cost at the date of acquisition.

The replacement cost of the economic benefits or service potential of inventory held for distribution reflects any obsolescence or any other impairment.

The cost of purchased inventory is determined as follows:• inventories held for resale – purchase cost is on a

weighted average cost• materials and consumables to be utilised for

rendering of services – purchase cost is on a first-in, first-out basis.

The write-down from cost to current replacement cost or net realisable value is recognised in the surplus or deficit in the period when the write-down occurs.

Debtors and other receivablesTauira fees and other receivables are recognised and carried at original receivable amount less any provision for impairment.

A specific provision for impairment is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Bad debts are written off when identified.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and short-term deposits in the statement of financial position comprise cash at bank and in hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less.

Creditors and other payables

Creditors and other payables are initially measured at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Borrowing costs

Te Wānanga o Aotearoa has elected to defer the adoption of the revised NZ IAS 23 Borrowing Costs (revised 2007) in accordance with the transactional provisions of NZ IAS 23 that are applicable to public

Superannuation schemes

Defined contribution schemes

obligations for contributions to Kiwisaver are accounted for as defined contribution superannuation schemes and are recognised as an expense in the surplus or deficit as incurred.

leases

leases where the lessor retains substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the asset are classified as operating leases. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised over the lease term on the same basis as the lease income.

operating lease payments are recognised as an expense in the surplus or deficit on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

revenue

revenue is measured at the fair value of consideration or receivable.

Government grantsgovernment grants are recognised as revenue upon entitlement.

Other government grantsFunding is received from the Tertiary Education Commission (TEC) in relation to costs expected to be incurred by Te Wānanga o Aotearoa to complete specific projects and organisational change objectives as established and agreed between TEC and Te Wānanga o Aotearoa. revenue from these projects is recognised based on the stage of the completion of the project. The stage of completion is measured based on the percentage of costs incurred to date compared to the total estimated costs to complete the full project. When funding is received in advance of the project being completed, deferred income is recognised and is released over the specific period using the stage of completion method.

Tauira tuition feesrevenue from student tuition fees is recognised over the period in which the course is taught by reference to the stage of completion of the course as at the balance sheet date. Stage of completion is measured by reference to the days of course completed as a percentage of total days for each course.

Rental income

rental income is recognised in the surplus or deficit on an accrual basis.

Interest

revenue is recognised as the interest accrues (using the effective interest method which applies the interest rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument) to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.

DividendsDividends are received by Te Wānanga o Aotearoa from the subsidiary company, open Wānanga limited. These dividends are recognised as revenue in the surplus or deficit in the period in which they are received.

Equity

Equity is measured as the difference between total assets and total liabilities. Equity is disaggregated and classified into a number of reserves. The components of equity are:• general funds• property revaluation reserves• capital contribution.

Property revaluation reserve

This reserve relates to the revaluation of property, plant, and equipment to fair value.

goods and Services Tax (gST)

revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of gST except:• where the gST incurred on a purchase of goods

and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the gST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable

• receivables and payables are stated with the amount of gST included.

The net amount of gST recoverable from or payable to the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the statement of financial position.

Commitments and contingencies are disclosed exclusive of gST.

of the assets within the period established generally by regulation or convention in the market place. Financial assets are de-recognised when the right to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or been transferred.

Financial assets at fair value through surplus or deficit

Financial assets classified as held for trading are included in the category financial assets at fair value through surplus or deficit Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling in the near term with the intention of making a surplus. Derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments. gains or losses on financial assets held for trading are recognised in surplus or deficit and the related assets are classified as current assets in the statement of financial position.

Loans and receivables

loans and receivables, including loan notes and loans to key management personnel, are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Such assets are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. gains and losses are recognised in the surplus or deficit when the loans and receivables are de-recognised or impaired. These are included in current assets, except for those with maturities greater than 12 months after balance date, which are classified as non-current.

De-recognition of financial instruments

The de-recognition of a financial instrument takes place when Te Wānanga o Aotearoa no longer controls the contractual rights that comprise the financial instrument, which is normally the case when the instrument is sold or all the cash flows attributable to the instrument are passed through to an independent third party.

Financial risk management objectives and policies

Te Wānanga o Aotearoa's principal financial instruments comprise receivables, payables, bank loans and overdrafts, available for sale investments, cash and short-term deposits. Te Wānanga o Aotearoa manages its exposure to key financial risks, including interest rate and currency risk, in accordance with Te Wānanga o Aotearoa's financial risk management policy. The objective of the policy is to support the delivery of Te Wānanga o Aotearoa's financial targets whilst protecting future financial security.

Statement of cash flows

Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis and the gST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from or payable to the taxation authority, are classified as operating cash flows.

Budget figures

Budget figures are those approved by Te Mana Whakahaere at the beginning of the year. Budget figures are prepared in accordance with NZ gAAP and are consistent with the accounting policies adopted by Te Mana Whakahaere for the preparation of the financial statements.

Financial instruments

Interest-bearing loans and borrowing

All loans and borrowings are initially recognised at cost, being the fair value of the consideration received net of transaction costs associated with the borrowing.

After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any transaction costs and any discount or premium on settlement. gains and losses are recognised in the surplus or deficit when the liabilities are de-recognised and as well as through the amortisation process.

Investments and other financial assets

Investments and financial assets are categorised as either financial assets at fair value through the surplus or deficit, loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments, or available-for-sale financial assets. The classification depends on the purpose for which the investments were acquired. Designation is re-evaluated at the end of each financial year but there are restrictions on re-classification to other categories.

When financial assets are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value plus in the case of assets not at fair value through the surplus or deficit, directly attributable transaction costs.

Recognition and De-recognition

regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade date, i.e., the date that Te Wānanga o Aotearoa commits to purchase the asset. regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets under contracts that require delivery

The main risks arising from Te Wānanga o Aotearoa's financial instruments are interest rate risk, foreign currency risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. Te Wānanga o Aotearoa uses specific methods to measure and manage the different types of risks to which it is exposed. These include monitoring levels of exposure to interest rate and foreign exchange risk and assessments of market forecasts for interest rate and foreign exchange. Ageing analyses and monitoring of specific credit allowances are undertaken to manage credit risk. liquidity risk is monitored through the development of future rolling cash flow forecasts.

Te Mana Whakahaere reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks as summarised below.

Primary responsibility for identification and control of financial risks rests with Te Ārai Tūpono under the authority of Te Mana Whakahaere. Te Mana Whakahaere reviews and agrees policies for managing each of the risks identified below, including the setting of limits for hedging cover of foreign currency and interest rate risk, credit allowances, and future cash flow forecast projections.

risk exposures and responses

Interest rate risk

Te Wānanga o Aotearoa has no risk exposure to market interest rates as all interest bearing debt obligations were repaid during the year.

Foreign currency risk

Te Wānanga o Aotearoa has only limited exposure to foreign currency risk. All fees are denominated in NZ dollars to diminish risks associated with revenue streams. Where transactions in foreign currencies are forecast that are material to Te Wānanga o Aotearoa, forward exchange contracts are entered into to diminish the risk of fluctuations in exchange rates.

Credit risk

Credit risk arises from the financial assets of Te Wānanga o Aotearoa, which comprise cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, and other financial assets.

Te Wānanga o Aotearoa's exposure to credit risk arises from potential default of a counter party, which carries a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these instruments. Exposure at balance date is addressed in each applicable note. Te Wānanga o Aotearoa does not hold any credit derivatives to offset its credit exposure. Te Wānanga o Aotearoa trades

only with recognised, creditworthy third parties and, as such, collateral is not requested nor is it the policy of Te Wānanga o Aotearoa to securitize its trade and other receivables. It is Te Wānanga o Aotearoa's policy that all customers who wish to trade on credit terms are subject to credit verification procedures, including an assessment of their independent credit rating, financial position, past experience and industry reputation. risk limits are set for each customer in accordance with parameters set by Te Mana Whakahaere. These risk limits are regularly monitored.

In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that Te Wānanga o Aotearoa's exposure to bad debts is not significant. There are no significant concentrations of credit risk within Te Wānanga o Aotearoa.

Liquidity risk

Te Wānanga o Aotearoa's objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of bank loans. Te Wānanga o Aotearoa's policy is that not more than 33% of borrowings should mature in any 12 month period. At 31 December 2011, Te Wānanga o Aotearoa had NIl borrowings (2010 - NIl).

Key judgments, estimates and assumptions

The following items have been included in the financial statements as a result of key judgments or estimates.

Operating lease commitments

Te Wānanga o Aotearoa has entered into commercial property leases on its property portfolio. Te Wānanga o Aotearoa has determined that it retains all significant risks and rewards of ownership of these properties and has thus classified the leases as operating leases.

Impairment of non-financial assets

Te Wānanga o Aotearoa assesses impairment of all assets at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to Te Wānanga o Aotearoa and to the particular asset that may lead to impairment. These include programme performance, technology, economic and political environments, and future programme expectations. If an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined. Management does not consider that the triggers for impairment testing have been significant and, as such, these assets have not been tested for impairment in this financial period.

Capitalised programme development costs

Development costs are only capitalised by Te Wānanga o Aotearoa when it can be demonstrated that the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset is valid so that the asset will be available for use or sale and that the programmes will provide positive cash flows.

Estimation of useful lives of assets

The estimation of the useful lives of assets has been based on historical experience as well as manufacturers' warranties (for plant and equipment), lease terms (for leased equipment) and turnover policies (for motor vehicles). In addition, the condition of each asset is assessed at least once per year and considered against the remaining useful life. Adjustments to useful lives are made when considered necessary.

Classification of assets and liabilities as held for sale

Te Wānanga o Aotearoa classifies assets and liabilities as held for sale when its carrying amount will be recovered through a sale transaction. The assets and liabilities must be available for immediate sale and Te Wānanga o Aotearoa must be committed to selling the asset either through the entering into a contractual sale agreement or the activation and commitment to a programme to locate a buyer and dispose of the assets and liabilities.

Distinction between revenue and capital contribution

Most Crown funding received is operational in nature. Thus it is provided by the Crown under the authority of an expense appropriation and is recognised as revenue. Where funding is received from the Crown under the authority of a capital appropriation, Te Wānanga o Aotearoa accounts for the funding as a capital contribution directly in equity. Information about capital contributions recognised in equity is disclosed in note 17.

Suspensory loans with equity conversion features

Te Wānanga o Aotearoa received a suspensory loan from the Crown during 2010 whereby the loan converted to equity when the conversion conditions of the loan agreement were satisfied. This included suspensory loans drawn down in respect of the Creative Thinking Programme and the Excellence Programme. Further information about the suspensory loan is disclosed in note 17.

Early childhood centre grant

Te Wānanga o Aotearoa received a grant from the Crown for the construction of a new early childhood learning centre facility. The grant has a number of conditions attached which require all or part of the grant to be repaid in the event the conditions are not met. NZ IFrS does not provide authoritative support on accounting for government grants for public benefit entities because public benefit entities are not permitted to apply the recognition and measurement requirements of NZ IAS 20 Accounting for government grants and Disclosure of government Assistance. Te Wānanga o Aotearoa has considered the liability definition in the New Zealand Framework and in applying its judgement has recognised the grant as revenue because management is committed to satisfying the remaining grant conditions. It is therefore not considered probable that Te Wānanga o Aotearoa will be required to repay all or part of the grant to the Crown. Further information about the grant is disclosed in note 18.

Fair Value

other debtors are non-interest bearing and receipt is normally on 30-day terms. Therefore the carrying value of other debtors approximates their fair value.

Tauira debtors are non-interest bearing and receipt is normally on enrolment and no later than graduation. Therefore the carrying value of tauira debtors approximates their fair value.

Impairment

As of 31 December 2011 and 2010, all overdue debtors have been assessed for impairment and appropriate provisions applied. Te Wānanga o Aotearoa holds no collateral as security or other credit enhancements over receivables that are either past due or impaired.

The ageing profile of receivables at year end is detailed below:

Fair Value

Term deposits

The fair value of non-current term deposits is $14,305,299 (2010 - $17,983,943). Fair value has been determined by discounting future interest cash flows using a discount rate based on the market interest rate on term deposits at balance date with principal terms to maturity that match as closely as possible the cash flows of term deposits held. The discount rates range between 2.46% and 3.30% (2010 - 4.00% - 4.76%)

Government bonds

The government bond matured in November 2011. In 2010 it was not a non-current asset.

For those instruments recognised at fair value on the statement of financial position, fair values are determined according to the following hierarchy:• Quoted market price - Financial instruments with quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets; and• Valuation technique using observable inputs - Financial instruments with quoted prices for similar instruments in active

markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in inactive markets and financial instruments valued using models where all significant inputs are observable; and

• Valuation techniques with significant non-observable inputs - Financial instruments valued using models where one or more significant inputs are not observable.

The following table shows an analysis of the basis of the valuation of classes of financial instruments measured at fair value on the statement of financial position.

Inventories held for distribution 2,096 1,894 1,105 1,023

The carrying amount of inventories for distribution are measured at cost as at 31 December 2011 and, therefore, the carrying amount at current replacement cost is NIl (2010 - NIl)

Inventories are made up of consumables and inventories held for distribution to campuses. Consumables are materials or supplies which will be consumed in conjunction with the delivery of services and predominantly comprise books and resources used in the teaching of courses to tauira.

During the year, a write-off of inventories occurred due to a change in resources and technologies required in a number of programmes. This write-off amounted to $129,167 in 2011 (2010 - $200,611). There have been no reversals of write-offs (2010 - NIl).

No inventories are pledged as security for liabilities.

The building owned by Te Wānanga o Aotearoa on Taupiri Street, Te Kuiti was presented as held for sale following approval by Te Mana Whakahaere on 9th August 2010. Te Mana Whakahaere has approved the sale of the premises, as it will provide no future use to Te Wānanga o Aotearoa. The sale occurred in February 2011.

W Hickey of Jones lang laSalle 64,114 64,114 62,714 62,714

The classes of property, plant and equipment that were revalued in 2010 were land and buildings.

land

land is valued at fair value using market-based evidence based on its highest and best use with reference to comparable land values.

The most recent valuation of land was performed by registered independent valuer Jones lang laSalle and the valuation is effective as at 31 December 2010.

Buildings

Specialised buildings (e.g., campuses) are valued at fair value using depreciated replacement cost because no reliable market data is available for buildings designed for education delivery purposes.

Depreciated replacement cost is determined using a number of significant assumptions including:• The replacement asset is based on the reproduction cost of the specific assets with adjustments where appropriate for

obsolescence due to over-design or surplus capacity.• The replacement cost is derived from recent construction contracts of similar assets and Property Institute of New Zealand cost

information.• The remaining life of assets is estimated.• Straight-line depreciation has been applied in determining the depreciated replacement cost value of the asset.

Non-specialised buildings (e.g., residential buildings) are revalued at fair value using market-based evidence. Market rates and capitalisation rates were applied to reflect market value.

The most recent valuation of buildings was performed by independent valuer Jones lang laSalle and the valuation is effective as at 31 December 2010.

Total fair value of property, plant and equipment valued by valuer

The total fair value of property, plant and equipment valued by Jones lang laSalle at 31 December 2010 totalled $64,114,000.

Work in progress

The total value of property, plant and equipment in the course of construction for the parent is $1,593,661 (2010 - $919,710).

Financial Instruments16Te Wānanga o Aotearoa has policies to manage risks associated with financial instruments. Te Wānanga o Aotearoa is risk averse and seeks to minimise exposure from its treasury activities. The policies do not allow any transactions that are speculative in nature to be entered into.

(b) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that a third party will default on its obligation to Te Wānanga o Aotearoa causing Te Wānanga o Aotearoa to incur a loss. Due to the timing of its cash inflows and outflows, Te Wānanga o Aotearoa invests surplus cash into term deposits and government bonds which gives rise to credit risk.

In the normal course of business, Te Wānanga o Aotearoa is exposed to credit risk from cash and term deposits with banks, debtors and other receivables and government bonds. For each of these, the maximum credit exposure is best represented by the carrying amount in the statement of financial position.

With the exception of tauira fees, the group trades only with recognised and creditworthy third parties.

receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the group’s exposure to bad debts is not significant as a result of the ability to withhold graduation from tauira who do not pay their fees.

Te Wānanga o Aotearoa holds no collateral or other credit enhancements for financial instruments that give rise to credit risk.

Credit quality of financial assets

The credit quality of financial assets that are neither past due nor impaired can be assessed by reference to Standard and Poor's credit ratings (if available) or to historical information about counterparty default rates.

(a) Market risk

Price risk

Price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices. Te Wānanga o Aotearoa is exposed to price risk because it invests in government bonds. This price risk is managed in accordance with the limits set out in Te Wānanga o Aotearoa investment policy.

Currency risk

Currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates.

Te Wānanga o Aotearoa purchases library items from overseas which exposes it to currency risk.

Fair value interest rate risk

Fair value interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. Borrowings and investments issued at fixed rates of interest create exposure to fair value interest rate risk. Te Wānanga o Aotearoa does not actively manage its exposure to fair value interest rate risk.

Cash flow interest rate risk

Cash flow interest rate risk is the risk that the cash flows from a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Borrowings and investments issued at variable interest rates create exposure to cash flow interest rate risk.

(c) liquidity risk

Management of liquidity risk

liquidity risk is the risk that Te Wānanga o Aotearoa will encounter difficulty raising liquid funds to meet commitments as they fall due. Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash, the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities and the ability to close out market positions. Te Wānanga o Aotearoa aims to maintain flexibility in funding by keeping committed credit lines available.

(e) Capital management

The capital of Te Wānanga o Aotearoa is its equity, which comprises general funds and property revaluation. Equity is represented by net assets.

Te Wānanga o Aotearoa is subject to the financial management and accountability provisions of the Education Act 1989, which includes restrictions in relation to: disposing of assets or interests in assets, ability to mortgage or otherwise charge assets or interests in assets, granting leases of land or buildings or parts of buildings and borrowings.

Te Wānanga o Aotearoa manages its revenues, expenses, assets, liabilities, investments, and general financial dealings prudently and in a manner that promotes the current and future interests of the community. The group's equity is largely managed as a by-product of managing revenues, expenses, assets, liabilities and general financial dealings.

The objective of managing the group's equity is to ensure that it effectively and efficiently achieves the goals and objectives for which it has been established, while remaining a going concern.
