Our students at Hiwa-i-te-rangi share the dream of forging a positive future for themselves and their tamariki.

We believe that helping students be the best parents they can be is the most important outcome and we do this by providing a range of services, from parenting and budgeting courses, creative projects as well as NCEA and specialised studies that will lead to future careers.

Our kura is appropriately named Hiwa-i-te-rangi through the reclaimed knowledge of Te Iwa o Matariki (the nine stars of Matariki). Hiwa i te rangi being the youngest star of the Matariki cluster represents the hopes and aspirations of  our young people as they navigate through life. With this star we share our aspirations for the future.

Hiwa-i-te-rangi is a secondary school under the umbrella of Northland College where youth aged parents can safely continue their education journey. Akonga up to the age of 20 are empowered to realise their potential through self-determined pathways of learning.  Our commitment is to provide high quality culturally responsive learning opportunities that connect curriculum to the hopes and dreams of young parents in our community.
