Student Leadership
A real strength of our small school is our ability to provided leadership opportunities for all tamariki.
Assembly:
Each class leads assembly once a term which is planned and introduced by the tamariki within the class. This is a wonderful way for our tamariki to practice their skills of public speaking and organisation. Our whānau really enjoy seeing their tamariki shine.
PE Monitors:
PE monitors support other tamariki by providing sports equipment for play during break and lunchtime.
PALs:
A PAL is a trained leader that organises and runs lunchtime activities for other tamariki to participate in. Before becoming a PAL they receive training which includes looking at:
- Leadership
- Teamwork
- Communication
- Managing Behaviour
- Session Planning
Being a PAL is an opportunity to
- Develop leadership skills
- Be a good role model for younger children in the school
- Design, plan and run physical activity sessions
- Most of all……..HAVE FUN!
Road Patrol:
Our road patrol monitors work with volunteer parents each morning to provide a safe crossing for our tamariki. Our road patrollers are trained in partnership with the NZ Police. We are always on the look out for more parent volunteers so please get in touch with us if you can lend a hand.

This programme offers our year 7/8 tamariki an exciting pathway for delivering Education Outside the Classroom and the Health and Physical Education learning area while building their toolkit for leadership and resilience.
