Hobsonville Point Secondary School

1. In ALL New Zealand schools, WE ALL sing the national anthem for NZ. In this school there has been NO National anthem in Hobs. 2. The teachers will talk to the students like a primary kid teacher PLUS the teachers are ALLOWED to attend their babies there which is so unhygienic. 3. Hardly any rules. There are NO dress codes. U are allowed to wear a short tank top, short thigh skirts, revealing dress for the girls. Since there r some nerdy boys that attend there do make them feel uncomfortable and for other girls with security issues. 4. The white & Indian teachers do NOT know how to deal with Islanders/Maoris students at all! 5. Some old white teachers are like Karen’s if you’re not used to white teachers. The ‘old white Karen’s’ WILL touch your belongings IF you do not listen to them! 6. This school needs to change!

Does not teach knowledge required for university. If your child plans to go on to tertiary-level education, then it would be best to send them to another school. This is because although HPSS teaches via the NCEA education system, it does not teach all of the required standards, leaving graduates with gaps in their knowledge, which become very evident when beginning university.

Spent 1 year here in year 9 before moving to rangi, this place gave me two instances of testicular torsion, one instance of kidney failure, came close to having many different forms of cancer, but perhaps worst of all, got called a "he" instead of "2009 smart toaster." 0/10, became a gormless soul

theres vape competitons run by studens and the teachers haven't caught on plus you don't learn anything and this school is really bad at everything

This is school is engaging and fun but some students leverage that

The birds at this school stole my mince and cheese pie and the teachers didnt care.

Just an overall overated secondary school full of privileged snotty kids tryna dress up like 50cent.

The school is decent when it comes to the teaching process as it matches how some universities do, but the context of what is being taught it too low of a standard for a high school. There's no NCEA level 1, no genuine foundation for the students, and even no notable alumni when graduation is considered. Yes, beginning from year 12 is somewhat educational, but I think that it's simply too much of a jump for students to not do NCEA level 1 and move straight from almost no education in year 9 & 10 to a completely different curriculum in year 12. The rules aren't as strictly enforced with no detentions and such, and most games and websites aren't blocked from the wifi. I think that there has to be a reason why the school's population is 1/3 of other high schools 30 minutes away. I would like to say that parents, please reconsider before enrolling your children to this school

the birds kidnapped my friend on my way to class

i wasted five years of my life here
