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’!

Kainui Netball Tournament- TOMORROW

29 Jul 2025

Tomorrow, Wednesday 30th July, we have 35 Maharahara students representing Hiwinui School at the Kainui Netball Tournament. This is being held at Vautier Courts, in Palmerston North. The day begins with a whole group warm up at 9.30am led by Netball Manawatu and games starting at 10am. We will have a lunch break 12-1230pm and aim to have the day wrapped up by 2pm.

Netball Manawatu are going to make the call on the weather at 8am tomorrow so if it is cancelled, a notice will go out here, on Skool Loop, as soon as possible. We are hoping we are able to play, so please send your children in their purple sports tops, black shorts or leggings with a warm layer & a good jacket as well as a full drink bottle & lunchbox. If they need a purple top, please send them to the office in the morning.

Thank you to the parents providing transport- will plan to leave school at 9am.

The onsite Cafe will be open for hot chips, hot drinks & treats- they accept cash & EFTPOS.

We are looking forward to everyone being Energised for a full on day of netball!
