At Hinds School we focus on bringing learning to life through exploring, empowering and challenging our students. As a school we pride ourselves on knowing our learner and shaping education and learning programmes to best support our students. A special feature of our rural school is the year 1 - 8 structure and growth of our students as active contributing learners. We aim for our students to leave Hinds School as capable and confident learners; as well rounded individuals who have strong Hinds Dispositions and can embrace challenge and oppurtunity. Hinds School leads the Mid Canterbury Technology Centre, our senior students actively explore a rich, wide curriculum and lead initiatives.

The Hinds Board of Trustees invites applications from parents/caregivers who wish to enrol their child at Hinds School for 2024. Enrolment at the school is governed by an enrolment scheme. No out-of-zone places are available for 2024. An enrolment scheme is available from the Hinds school office.

We would appreciate parents/caregivers living within Hinds School enrolment zone who intend to enrol their child at any time during the next year notifying us of their child's enrolment for 2026 by 20th October, to assist with school planning.

Application forms are available at the school office, 03 303 7208 or via email office@hinds.school.nz

We invite parents to contact the office to learn more about our school and join us for a tour.
