Mission Statement

We inspire and support tamariki to develop the knowledge, skills, agency and competencies they need to flourish in life.

Our Motto

Piki ake ki ngā whetū- Reach for the Stars 

Learner Qualities 

From community, student voice and staff consultation, we have identified what we consider to be the five key Learner Qualities that best reflect our vision for our students. They are our interpretation of, and are linked to, the Key Competencies, Values and Principles in the NZ Curriculum. Each of our Learner Qualities have been defined and rubrics developed by staff and students so they can “live” them within the classroom. 

Hampden Street Students Reach for the ……… 

 S – Strive for Success - Ekea te taumata

T – Take Initiative - Rangatiratanga

A – Actively Collaborate - Whanaungatanga

R – Respond creatively - Mōhiotanga

Here at Hampden Street we pride ourselves on our whanautanga, which is relationships with students, whānau and the wider community. This ensures that we offer a rich and diverse programme that best represents our learning community. We actively engage in wānanga (communication) and our classrooms are always open to you. There are many opportunities for whānau to become a part of our programme, be it in celebrating our success, parent forums, excursions or sports days. We love to see you here.
