Kia ora koutou parents and whānau, As an area school, Hurunui College offers many advantages. We are proud of its family atmosphere where students from Year 0 to Year 13 interact and care for each other.
Our vision is an aspirational learning community where all are empowered to reach their full potential. Students enter Hurunui College to learn and to develop their unique talents and abilities, so that they may leave school prepared to serve and enrich both themselves and their community.
Our College is strengthened by our core traditional values: Respect, Integrity, Service and Excellence. These qualities support high academic achievement and promote personal skills required by our local, national and international communities giving our students the foundation for future success in this rapidly changing world.
Upcoming Dates - Start of Term 2 As has been well reported the start of term two will extend the April break considerably. Most schools have scheduled the 24th of April as a school closed day with the lead up to ANZAC Day on the 25th of April. We have also been advised that we must schedule a Ministry initiated teacher only day within the first two weeks of term 2.
