Roncalli 2020 Head Students - Jess Guiney, Lleyton Phillips, Nicholas Goodwin & Grace Scarsbrook

Kia ora from our 2020 Head Students

by Grace Scarsbrook

We are the Head Students of Roncalli College for 2020. We are all super thrilled to be apart of a great leadership team that will work together to lead Roncalli to greatness in 2020. As a team, we are wanting to implement and introduce many things into the College. Some of these include embracing Māori Culture into the school, encouraging our Faith by starting with prayer in each class and making school assemblies more interesting for the staff and students. These are only some of the things we are hoping to encourage and change. We are all really looking forward to the busy but exciting year ahead! Grace Scarsbrook (Head Girl), Nick Goodwin (Head Boy), Jess Guiney (Deputy Head Girl) and Lleyton Phillips (Deputy Head Boy)
