    Student wellbeing is not a priority for this school

    Reading the review posted by an employee of the school, I would have to disagree that staff care about the well-being of students. Sadly we have not had this experience. It seems only students whom are high achievers are supported and the rest are left to fend for themselves. Communication with whānau is not a priority for this school, with lack of follow up and broken promises. My child does not feel safe coming to school because of the staff.

    Hornby as a workplace

    Hornby High School is a multicultural school that is a great place to work and turn up each day. The school cares about staff and student wellbeing and has a developed Pasifika programme as well as a strong Filipino community within. Sport is strong in the school, with basketball and volleyball leading the way. The arts are represented well and opportunities have presented themselves to Hornby’s students and allowed them to go on to represent New Zealand on the world stage. Anika Moa and Boh Runga both came through this school. The school boasts Kai Whakapai, which is a cafe run by the teacher aids and provides students with work experience and affordable options within the school.

    Bullies

    Worse school. My daughter gets bullied everyday at that school. When she tells the teacher they do absolutely nothing.

    Shitiest school out there

    Shit school with zero accountability when they get the things wrong. My son was missing from a school as a panicking parent to get told " I don't have the time to deal with this then hung up on is totally unacceptable. Along with the teacher using intimating tactics with students. Keep your kids away from this school if possible.
