Thank you for all the kind wishes and support during our journey preparing for Polyfest. To the staff who sent messages and were there in person to support on the day, thank you. The students performed so well, and as some of you know, I am a crier, and the tears were a representation of how proud I was of each and every one of those students. I can tell you quite confidently that our students should know our CARR values by now.

Kia ora koutou. Talofa. Kia Orana. Malo e lelei. Bula Vinaka. Fakaalofa atu. Namaste. Kumusta. Haere mai ki Te Kura Huruhuru Ao o Horomaka. Warm greetings to the Hornby High School community.

We have been seeing something of a new epidemic recently, an epidemic of lateness. It is easy to say ‘but it’s only 10 minutes’, but when you do the maths it’s a little bit more sinister.

Kia ora koutou, we are now well over halfway through the first term of 2023. The students should be all settled into their classes and getting on with their learning.

Kia ora Family, whanau, and caregivers of Tīeke kāhui The past seven weeks have been very busy, they have gone fast. By now our ākonga (students) are well into the swing of things, working on assessments, some even gaining credits.

Tēnā koutou katoa Term One is flying by! We have had an action packed seven weeks with lots of exciting things happening including athletics day, Friday sport, passion projects, student groups volunteering in the community, learning conference day, Kapa Haka, FiaFia night, and PolyFest.

On Monday 5th March we held our annual Academic Honours assembly, in which the achievements of students in Year 12 and 13 are recognised for their work in NCEA Levels 1 and 2 in 2022.

Kia ora everyone, I hope you’re having an awesome week. My name is Hayley Young and I am the Stars Programme Coordinator here at Hornby High School.

The focus is real. 👁
