Central to our mission is the development of leadership 'rangatiratanga' opportunities. In 2023, we amplified this vision by establishing seven councils: House Captains, Māori, Eco, Community, Nurture, Active and Media. Two dedicated student leaders head each council.

Innovative Initiatives:

Throughout the year, our students demonstrate unparalleled creativity and initiative. Weekly council meetings serve as incubators for innovative ideas, nurtured by the guidance of our supporting teachers. The outcomes have been nothing short of extraordinary, with a diverse range of activities and events enriching our school environment. Notable highlights include "Somerfield's Got Talent", student-teacher sports games, fundraising events, themed dress-up days, and a plethora of clubs catering to various interests.

Community Engagement:

Our commitment to community service remains unwavering throughout the year. Through fundraisers, charity events, and collaborative initiatives, we actively contribute to local causes and charities. These endeavours not only reinforce our sense of social responsibility but also foster meaningful connections within our broader community.
