debra marshall-lobb - principal
Education is an investment with the
potential for limitless returns. Hato Piora
College equips boys with the skills and
knowledge to step out into the world
as condent, competent young men
grounded in Mioritanga and able to
interface with the global environment.
The high school years are particularly important as
throughout these years we formulate our identity and the
values that underpin our behaviour later in life. It is vital
for whinau to show support and actively engage with their
son’’s learning during this time. As a school, we encourage
whinau to set high expectations for their boys, inspiring
them to achieve their potential and ensuring they leave
Hato Piora with formal qualications to increase their
opportunities in life.
Hato Piora College aims to develop well-rounded Miori
leaders - spiritually, intellectually, physically, artistically,
socially and emotionally. We provide a creative and wellsupported, learning and living environment where boys are
exposed to a multitude of experiences and opportunities
to prepare them for life beyond the school gates. We
endeavour to source any resources identied as being
benecial for our students’’ learning.
It is our goal to assist all our young men to reach their
potential and achieve their educational aspirations. We
take our roles as teachers, mentors and whinau very
seriously. Additionally, we acknowledge that your son
is much loved and we will continue to nurture him in
a caring way. Your son’’s wellbeing and overall positive
development is paramount. In return for care, education
and opportunities provided at Hato Piora, we expect
students to behave in a respectful and responsible manner,
contributing positively to their community and to society.
Noho pai mai i roto i ngi manaakitanga o Hehu Karaiti.

that instils respectful and responsible values that help
boys take their place in society as husbands and fathers; as
providers and leaders. We work hard to help boys become
men who understand their responsibilities and are as best
prepared for them as they can be. Our community needs
strong men, men we can admire and be proud of; men who
can make a place for themselves and their families.

Ko koe ia, e ta te Atua tangata, oma atu

whakapono, te aroha, te manawanui,

1 Timoti 6:11, 12
But you, man of God, ee these

1 Timothy 6:11, 12
When whinau send their son to our college there is
an expectation that he will be part of a safe college
environment. This expectation applies to all situations at
all times over the college year where parents rightly assume
that the college is providing appropriate duty of care.
There is also a mutual expectation that when a student
starts at the college he will treat people, facilities and the
environment in a respectful manner, contributing towards
the overall positive development of the college and
upholding the college motto, Wha-ia te Tika (to always do
what is right).
It is important to set high expectations that boys
understand, parents support and staff are able to manage.
Our comprehensive Code of Conduct provides a pathway
for the college in the event that an individual does not meet
the mutual expectation at any time.
All students are provided with a copy of the Code of
Conduct upon application. They are then asked to sign
this upon arrival at the college, following an expectations
hui, to ensure their understanding of college behavioural
requirements.

Hato Piora College provides education
based on the gospel values of Jesus
Christ, according to the tradition of the
Catholic Church.
Students are instructed in the Catholic faith and strive to
uphold the teachings of the gospel. They attend chapel
every weekday at 8.30am before school commences.
This is an important aspect of the day and attendance is
mandatory. Students also attend chapel every evening
and Mass every Sunday.
In sending their sons to Hato Piora, parents and guardians
accept that their boys will participate in the Catholic
programme that gives the college its special character and
sets it apart from other providers of secondary education.
Students are given roles and responsibilities in all aspects
of daily prayer as well as participating in Sunday Mass and
Catholic Feast Days under the guidance of College Chaplain,
Fr Chris Martin, S.M.

Marist Priest I provide a priestly presence amongst students
and the school, encouraging and mentoring boys as they
discover the gospel, experience faith and grow in wisdom

I conduct one-on-one interviews with each of our new

baptised and wish to be baptised. I offer opportunities for
celebration of the sacraments of initiation and different
ways of prayer.

cultural connections
Hato Piora caters for boys with extensive
knowledge of Te Reo and Mioritanga
as well as those who have had little
exposure to Miori language and culture.
Teachers at Hato Piora have the qualications, knowledge
and skills required to assist boys in becoming fully bilingual
and bicultural and extend those already well versed in the
Miori language and Tikanga Miori.
The college environment fosters opportunities for boys to
engage in a rich mix of spontaneous and planned cultural
and extra-curricula activities. Students are encouraged to
become involved in many worthwhile pursuits including
sport and music.
Education and activities at Hato Piora are designed to
nurture the whole person - spiritually, intellectually,
physically, artistically, socially and emotionally; developing
well-rounded, condent young men.

learning environment
At Hato Pa-ora we value Ma-ori knowledge. Ma-ori is a
compulsory subject and Ma-oritanga is nurtured through
kapa haka, speech competitions and other cultural activities.
We provide a wha-nau environment; supporting boys everyday
in everyway including at tangi, unveilings and family events.
We know knowledge is not confined to the classroom.
Students are encouraged to participate and aim for
excellence in sport as, through sport, they learn discipline,
focus, commitment, responsibility and teamwork. It is also
important for our boys to learn an instrument and get
involved with music as it develops the brain, enhances
creativity, helps keep the mind active and sharpens memory.

The core purpose of Hato Piora
College is to provide education, which
empowers our community to maximise
its collective and individual potential
through the practical expression of
Catholic and Miori values.
Students at Hato Piora are involved in a full range of
curricular subjects and activities to assist in their spiritual,
intellectual, physical, artistic, social and emotional
development. Students and staff understand that holistic
learning and teaching is the core business of our college.
Catholic and Miori values underpin all aspects of college
life. Miori, English, Mathematics and Religious Education
are compulsory subjects from year 9 through to year 13.

At Hato Piora teaching and learning is future-oriented.
Teachers understand it is no longer enough for students to
simply acquire knowledge and master skills. They must also
learn how to access information, work with technology,
interact with people and think critically. As a result of
this, learning at Hato Piora fosters competent, condent,
connected and actively involved lifelong learners.

The residential environment is designed to ensure boys
become fit, responsible and respectful young men. Hostel
living is made up of ranks and structure. Our boys line
up and participate in marching, which is all about strong
leadership, teamwork and being together as a solid group.
With practice they improve and, as they improve, their selfesteem and self-efficacy is enhanced.
