Horowhenua College will not be open for instruction on Wednesday 20th August as there is a strike day for all secondary teachers in New Zealand this day. Our Non-union teachers will remain at college to supervise students who, for whatever reason, are not able to be at home for the day. These students should be at school at the normal time and in uniform and must bring their own lunch. Please contact the school office (0800 467694) if your child will be at school on this day. We realise this is frustrating for everyone involved so we appreciate your support in this matter.

From 11.00 am to 7.00 pm for Y11-13 students only. Interviews for Y9 & 10 students will be held in term 4. Due to the Parent-Whānau Conferences there will be no classes on Thursday 14th August. Year 9 and 10 students will be given work to do at home on this day. Senior students are encouraged to come to the conferences with their parents or caregivers.

Tēnā koutou katoa Welcome again to any families joining our Horowhenua College family in Term 1!  We are more than half-way through the term and these last six weeks have brought significant change to college life. Foremost on your mind may be the evolving COVID-19 virus situation.   At both our Health and Safety and School Board meetings we have been discussing our preparedness including ensuring our Pandemic Plan is up-to-date.   We are regularly receiving advice from the Ministry and the School Trustees Association.   At time of writing the virus is not currently spreading in the community beyond people who have had direct contact with a traceable source of infection.  It is also important to remember that the main risk is students spreading the disease to others in the community who are vulnerable, not that students will become seriously ill themselves.
