WELCOME TO HIWINUI SCHOOL

We believe every learner has potential and can achieve at their best.

Our classroom programmes are designed so all learners thrive. At Hiwinui School our Teachers and Learning Assistants are focused on challenging learners in a supportive and nurturing way. We spend time getting to know the strengths of each learner and what they love most. Relationships with our learners and their whānau are paramount.

Our approach to learning includes: explicit teaching, play based learning within our junior school, enviro programmes, academic challenges and EOTC. Learning is connected to the world around us; our school environment and our wider rural setting. We ‘push the boundaries’ so all learners get ‘the best deal’! This is achieved through intervention programmes and also acceleration programmes with additional opportunities for learners to shine.

Our values of being Pathfinders, being Energised, showing Awhi and acting as Kaitiaki are embedded across our school and infused within our school curriculum. These values support our learners to ‘Reach their Peak’!

Production Costumes

24 Jul 2024

Kia ora,

It has been amazing seeing our production coming together this week as we do some whole school practises and pull together costumes. A notice will come home on Friday about how the day and evening will run on Wednesday 7th of August.

We are also having to do some extra recording for the production for the main characters and this will be on Monday next week.

Please ensure your child's class costume is at school with each item named, and in a named bag, by the end of the week ready for dress rehearsals. If you have any questions about your class costume please see your classroom teacher.

We appreciate your ongoing support. Don't forget to purchase your tickets from Ticketek. :)
