Hui mai
Hui mai is the name given to the tradition "Form Class" and it's meaning is Meeting Together with an intention and purpose.
All students at Lynfield College are in a Hui mai class for their time from Year 9 - 13. These Hui mai classes are horizontal, meaning just students from one year level in each class. Each teacher at the school has a Hui mai class including the Deans and Principal.
The average number of students in each Hui mai class is about 18. Each week students and their Hui mai teacher work together on their journey through the school. This includes setting and working towards academic and pastoral goals, learning study habits, having a careers focus, and wellbeing just to name a few.
As a parent/caregiver you will meet with your child's Hui mai teacher to focus on goal setting and their academic achievement. Students will stay in the same Hui mai class for their time at Lynfield College so will have the opportunity to build some strong relationships with their peers and Hui mai teacher.
We do offer two slightly different Hui mai classes that students can opt into. These are our Pacific and Pounamu Hui mai classes. These as vertical Hui mai classes that have students from each year level in them with Pacific having a Pacific focus with their class and Pounamu having a Maori focus. More information can be found out under each one when you choose.
