ERO Reports

Education Review Office Report

​

The Education Review Office (ERO) is the New Zealand government department that evaluates and reports on the education and care of students in schools and early childhood services. The Chief Review Officer formally designates individual review officers to carry out reviews in schools in accordance with the Education Act 1989.

​

This Act gives the Chief Review Officer the power to initiate review, investigate, report and to publish findings on the provision of education to all young New Zealanders. The ERO generally carries out reviews every three years.

 

Howick College is now on a four to five year review cycle, which is the best review cycle available. This is a high endorsement of the College's performance.
