William (Year 11) has won a 'National Excellence Award' for his outstanding participation in Project K last year. This is the third year in a row a Hornby High Student has received this award! We are so very proud!

Over the past few weeks, the Ministry of Education and NZQA have announced a number of changes to NCEA for 2021, in recognition of the disruption to learning caused by Alert Level 3 & 4.

A Derived Grade is a mark that is provided to NZQA that could be used to determine a result if a student misses an external exam at the end of the year due to an emergency or unforeseen event.

We had Learning Conferences scheduled for the final week of Term 3. Unfortunately we need to postpone these, because we cannot effectively run such an event under Covid Alert Level 2. We hope to be able to host Learning Conferences again soon.

Kia ora koutou. We are well and truly back into the swing of things at school having returned from lockdown. As I walk around some of the classes, it is great to see how many students have settled back into their routines and are working well again in their classes.

Kia ora Riroriro whānau. Thank you for your calmness and effort during Level 4 Lockdown and for how you have re-adjusted to school life. I am very proud of all of you and here is a virtual high five coming your way!

Kia ora koutou whānau of Tīeke Kāhui. We are right back into the swing of things. Students have settled back into school and are working hard to strive for their best.
