My name is Miss Abernethy, and I am your Wānanga Learning Advisor (form teacher) this year :)
I will have you for 2 hours a week in M9 + Kai times in M8 (health room).
We will be doing a whole range of stuff including wellbeing, relationships, goals, career pathways, but mostly a chance for you to keep up with work and manage your time to be successful senior students
AyM is a mixture of year 11, year 12 and year 13 students, almost all the of you have been in my form class at some point but I am excited to get to know you all better!
Ay is my cypher, so email ay@hornby.school.nz to contact me. If I am not near M9, I will likely be in the Science area :)
The M which is part of our name is for our Kāhui, Mōhua.
Mōhua is the first of the Kāhui, nearest the courts/gym. Each of the Kāhui are named after birds, fitting with the whakataukī "Mā te huruhuru ka rere te manu" these are the buildings in which you can get the skills to help you for life after school. Mōhua is also known as the yellowhead, a small forest bird that is native to New Zealand. This bird is what give us our Kāhui colour, yellow.
