When choosing the right school for
our tamariki we often go by the ‘feeling’
we have when we visit, as much as by the
programmes that schools have on offer.
The world demands fewer people who can
do repetitive tasks and more people who
can think creatively and critically. That’s
why our vision, our aspiration, as a school
is to be ‘A centre of creative excellence’
in everything that we do, whether visual
arts or chemistry, volleyball or music,
management or curriculum organisation.
In doing this we haven’t forgotten the
importance of the strong relationships that
we build with all of our students, and the
importance of individualising learning
pathways so that we come as close as we
can to meeting every individual student’s
needs. Hornby High School’s feeling is
one of positive relationships that support
learning. Students often comment that
we feel like whānau, like family. Visitors
without exception comment on the calm
learning focussed environment that they
see and feel when they visit our learning
spaces. This all takes place within our
amazing new facilities that are allowing
us to develop a new curriculum crossing
old subject boundaries and catering for
individual needs, that support student
passions, and help our students to grow
their heart for their community. The
growing list of student achievements
support our students’ opinions that we
offer a wide range of sporting and other
activities for them during their time at
school. And we expect nothing but the
next from every student, we expect every
student to create the best version of
themselves that they can be. We emphasise
our values, promoting the ethos of
kindness, of manaaki. I personally invite
you to come along and meet with our
skilled staff, and the amazing young people
who make Hornby High School such a
wonderful place to be.
