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’!

Latest Notices

Power outage
18 Feb 2025

Good morning, we unfortunately have another unplanned power outage and the power may not be back on until 2pm.
If you are in a position to collect your children early this would be appreciated. Please support us if you can.
No power for us means: no water, no flushing toilets and no phones / wifi.
As we have done in the past our outside toilet will be flushed with pool water to get by in the short term.
You are welcome to comment on this post if you need to get a message to us or you are welcome to send me a private message via messenger (as we get ok cell reception from the field).

*** Power has come on to some properties on Reids Line but not at school

Triathlon - bikes at school
17 Feb 2025

Our Triathlon is this Thursday! Starting with our Wharite children at 11.00am and then moving onto our Maharahara children from approx 11.45am.If possible we would love bikes at school for a practice:
Tuesday: Rooms 4,5 and 6
Wednesday: Rooms 1,2 and 3

(We are more than happy to store bikes after the practice - please talk to your child if they are leaving their bike at school so it goes into the right space).  
If your child doesn’t have a bike they are absolutely welcome to be part of our duathlon. We look forward to seeing all our children energised about this event!
