As we know, there is an exciting future for the south west of chch, one thats constantly evolving, and often before our very eyes. Hillmorton High is looking toward the future as our local school and planning ahead with our families and communities in mind.
Throughout the month of August the Board of Trustee’s are looking to engage with as many people as possible to help shape that future.
Tomorrow you're all invited to come with your perspectives, ideas and opinions, ready to discuss what kind of high school we’d love to be see serve our area.
There is a genuine opportunity right now to shape the future as among other things, Hillmorton High is establishing a middle school and senior school, and there is a big rebuild planned next year that is in the design phase now,
What kind of school can you imagine? What kind of students? What kind of life do we want to create and share?
Lets chat about this and what might we need to focus on.
Look forward to seeing you there - 2 meetings:
12noon and 7pm at the Halswell Community Hub (Old Library)

Say goodbye to tyre waste
About 40% of the 6.5 million tyres Kiwis use every year are recycled, repurposed, or used as tyre-derived fuel. But the rest end up in landfills, stockpiled or dumped.
The good news is now there’s an easy solution to all that tyre waste. It’s called Tyrewise and is New Zealand’s first national tyre recycling scheme.
Tyrewise ensures that tyres in Aotearoa New Zealand are recycled or repurposed properly, saving millions from going to the landfill.
