On Tuesday 18 August the combined level 2 and level 3 geography class went on their long awaited research trip. The Level 3 trip was originally planned for Kaikoura but as we all know many of our plans were altered this year. Instead we all went to Wainui in Akaroa Harbour.

It’s probably a good time to revisit what Manaiakalani is, and how it impacts on your child’s learning. The programme uses a consistent pedagogy (a pedagogy is simply a ‘way of causing learning’) called ‘Learn Create Share’.

At Hornby High School, we recognise that quality, learning-focussed relationships are a key ingredient in enabling a young person to thrive in school. We believe therefore that time, space, and resource, needs to be carved out to allow for quality learning relationships to grow and develop, be they relationships between kaiako and akonga (teachers and students); the school and whanau; or learning relationships amongst the young people themselves.

Course booklets and course selection forms will be sent home via email shortly. Hardcopies of the selection form will come home with your student.

On Thursday 20 August 2020 the Level 1 Geography class went on a research trip to 4 different beaches around Christchurch. These beaches were Corsair Bay, Taylors Mistake, Sumner Beach and New Brighton beach.

Term 3 is where we focus on going vertical - its our climbing and abseiling term plus some time at the high ropes course.

We are so proud of the 2019/2020 Hornby High School cohort. Over the last 14 months they have shown an amazing amount of resiliency and tenacity.

It has been an amazing opportunity being a Stars mentor working together with the Year 9 students and getting to know them very well.
