Welcome to Hornby High School

Kia ora koutou. Talofa. Kia Orana. Malo e lelei. Bula. Warm greetings to you all. 
I am very pleased to welcome you to Hornby High School.  

 The benchmarks of an education at Hornby High School are high expectations and personal excellence.  We believe that:

  • All students have natural strengths and talents.  Schools should develop these strengths and talents so each student excels not only in these areas, but also has the confidence to learn and develop in the other areas which do not come as easily.
  • Student engagement is at the heart of student success and personal excellence. Our teaching and pastoral practices are built on how schools best engage students. 
  • Student learning occurs the student connects with the learning content, the teacher and the school.  Our teaching and pastoral practices start with knowing the student well.

Hornby High School exists for all students.  Enhancing the dignity and mana of the individual is at the heart of our school.  We recognise and nurture the uniqueness of each student. We are a community school and we value high quality relationships.  Parents, teachers and students know each other well and model responsibility, respect and good manners.  Hornby High School is future-focused and works with students and families to create individualised pathways.
 
In the classroom, on the sports field, and in cultural pursuits, Hornby High School students achieve personal excellence and are well-prepared for their tertiary education,  training or employment.  If you would like to know more about our school please contact us.  We will be proud to discuss how Hornby High School develops young men and women who achieve personal excellence.

              Best wishes.  Nga mihi nui.
 
              Richard Edmundson
              Principal
