Nau mai, haere mai ki Hurunui College - welcome to our kura.
Kia ora koutou, nau mai, haere mai, It’s great to be back home at Hurunui College after two years on secondment with the Ministry of Education, where I’ve been working as a Leadership Advisor alongside area schools across Aotearoa but particularly throughout Te Waipounamu. That time away reinforced just how special schools like ours really are. Rural and area schools are places where students are known, relationships are strong and learning is deeply connected to community. Hurunui College is a great example of this. As we begin a new school year, we’re excited to welcome both returning families and those who are new to our community. The start of the year is always full of energy and possibility, and it’s a great time for students to set goals, build connections and get involved in the wide range of learning and other opportunities we offer. Hurunui College is proud to be a Years 0–13 area school. That means your child can grow and learn in one caring, connected environment from their first day at school through to graduation. Our older students look out for the younger ones, our staff know every learner and we work with whānau to make sure each young person gets the support they need. Our values of Respect, Integrity, Service and Excellence guide everything we do, in the classroom, the playground and the wider community. Being a rural school is one of our great strengths. Our learners benefit from authentic, real-world learning, strong community partnerships and the space to explore their interests, whether that’s academic study, the arts, trades, agriculture, sport or leadership. We’re proud of the pathways our students take and the confident, capable young people they leave us as. If you’re thinking about enrolling your child, we’d love to hear from you. We’re always happy to show families around, answer questions and talk about how Hurunui College can support your child. Enrolments are welcome at any time, and starting at the beginning of the year is a great opportunity to become part of our school community from day one. We look forward to another great year of learning, growth and shared success here at Hurunui College. Ngā mihi nui, Stephen Beck Principal - Tumuaki Hurunui College |
