Who we are...
Our School Vision
Inspired Learners, collaboratively creating sustainable futures
Our vision was developed by our establishment Board of Trustees and senior leadership team and was based on the feedback we received from community consultation at the time.
Each year we revisit our vision with our learners to explore elements of the model and ensure it aligns with our strategic direction.
This vision guides all learning and weaves through the engagements, ethos and being of our school.
Our School Whakatauki:
Ehara taku toa i te toa takitahi engari, he toa takitini
My successes are not mine alone, they are ours - the greatest successes we will have are from working together.
Our School Values
We are developing our school values together as a community. We began this process in 2022 and we are looking forward to launching them in 2023, our new school values will take us into the future with something that represents us and is interconnected with our vision. We have gathered the voice of our students, staff, parents and whanau to identify the 3 values we all believe to be the values we want our students to grow and therefore live by. Our values are important at HPS and will be integrated into every aspect of the school day.
