At HNHS we acknowledge the trend in leadership away from the authoritative model to one which recognises that all students have developing leadership qualities.
At Havelock North High School, we acknowledge the trend away from an authoritative model of student leadership to one which recognises that all students have developing leadership qualities. We also believe that school is a place where every student should have the opportunity to develop their leadership capacity. Our vertical form class and house structure supports students to develop a strong sense of citizenship and to demonstrate leadership amongst their peers. This extends to the many leadership positions that exist within the extensive extra-curricular programme that is on offer to every student.
Instead of a small group of autonomous prefects, our Year 13 leadership model includes Head Students, House Leaders, and ten Year 13 Committees. Through these roles, every Year 13 student has the opportunity to shape the culture of Havelock North High School and develop as a young leader.
