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’!

Sport information has been sent

19 Sep 2024

Thank you to all families for the fantastic response to the sports on offer in term 4.

We are still in need of a player, or two, for the Year 5/6 and Year 3/4 Summer Hockey teams.

All families should have the information specific to their sport in their email inbox, and now all is required is confirmation your child is ready to play and for coaches/managers for all teams- even if you don't feel confident about the sport/rules, everyone is supportive and it is a lot of fun! Please complete this information ASAP.

Please note the Year 3/4 Hockey teams play on a TUESDAY, with the Year 1/2 hockey teams. My apologises for the error on the day in the communication sent out yesterday.

Any queries, please contact me. I will be in contact with teams as we have managers/coaches and if there is any updates or changes.

It is looking like an exciting term of sports!
