House Leaders

Every student who enrols at Waiau Pa School is put into a house colour. The houses are used for sports events, behaviour and school work and the points are allocated to the student's house. When sporting / swimming events are held the students are asked to dress up in their house colour. Points are accumulated throughout the year for each house and the winning house receives a cup at the end of year prizegiving. The houses are named after local families in the District. The Leaders are chosen by the students & teachers the year prior and are announced at the end of year prizegiving.

Belong - Whakamana - “We belong and contribute to making a positive difference.”

We will...

  • Discover what makes a good leader
  • Refine our leadership skills
  • Look at good examples of leadership
  • Increase the student leadership profile at Waiau Pa School

We know we will have been successful when:

  • We know what is expected of a student leader at Waiau Pa School
  • We have set a gutsy leadership goal - (what is a gutsy goal?)
  • We can confidently describe what a student leader at Waiau Pa School looks like & sounds like, and what it feels like to be a leader
  • We can see an increased confidence in ourselves as a leader
  • We have developed ideas that will be used on the Student Leadership page of our school website
