The 2023 Year 6 Councils Structure Information

KingsWay School’s mission is to be a Christian community of learning that nurtures young people towards their full potential as servant leaders in the kingdom of God. This statement guides our Council/ Leadership programme in Year 6, where our senior students have the opportunity to be school leaders throughout their final year in primary and prepare them for Middle School.

We have changed our Leadership Structure slightly for 2023 to align with our Middle and Senior School Councils and accommodate our growth in the Primary School.

To allow all our students to thrive in various leadership roles, our departments will now be referred to as YEAR 6 COUNCILS.

• The seven councils listed below are rotated over two terms for each class
• Each council will have a specific focus guided by a staff member
• The “Whanau Leaders” will form part of the other councils and will not hold a separate portfolio as they did in previous years
• Badges are given to all students in a council
