Kia Ora All,

In HB2 we aim to facilitate an environment where everyone is welcome. It is a place where we can celebrate success, discover new experiences, work through any difficulties, direct our own learning where appropriate, support each other through times of need and have heaps of fun. 

HB2 embraces "everyone is a teacher, everyone is a learner." Children, parents and LA learn and teach alongside each other according to our abilities and interests.

In order to become self-directed learners, we have a strong emphasis on literacy and numeracy.

This year we are focussing on four special words to create our HB culture:

     *Caring

             *Collaboration

             *Challenge 

             *Courage

On a personal note, my favourite things to do in life are reading, cooking (and eating!), messing around with science, trying to keep up with my 3 children and holidaying. I am also co-owner of Art Metro Art School and Cafe with my husband.
