Kia ora i te whānau. We are pleased to announce that Hornby High School will be hosting the annual Manu Kōrero competition for the Waitaha regionals. This is a great honour!

We wish to remind all members of our school community that we are committed to being a smokefree school, which includes being a vapefree school.

Over Queen’s Birthday weekend five students, Jessica, Meagan, Molly, Nadia, and Sam (Year 12), attended the 5 day SGCNZ University of Otago Sheilah Winn Shakespeare Festival.

On Tuesday 11 May the Level 1 Geography class went on a research trip to the beach. The aim was to gather information around wind, waves and beach profiles. However, the best reason for the trip was that they are able to see how geography can be used in real life.

Being a Stars mentor has been an amazing leadership opportunity, working with the Year 9's and getting to know them well.

Last year at Hornby High School for our community project we helped the students plant a native bush at the back of the sports field.

This year Z is giving away a share of $700k to 10 charities who make a positive impact for Kiwi's across Aotearoa and the Graeme Dingle Foundation is one of the lucky charities.
