Hobsonville Point Primary School

Hobsonville Point Primary was opened in 2013 with a roll of 21 students, the school 7 years on has a roll of 750 which is growing daily. The school places all students at the centre of learning, supporting them to be active participants in their own learning journey. The school has three intertwined curriculums operating. A dispositional curriculum, a relational curriculum and the learning areas. Staff support learning in collaborative teams over a range of ages allowing for growth that reflects the personal journey of the child, rather than a dictated model. Through this relational approach we can best support our students to be future ready.
