Growing Future Leaders
Overview
We foster and develop the leadership capabilities that many students possess through mentoring and workshops. At every year level you are given opportunities that enable you to reach your leadership potential and develop into a future leader.
“ Waimea College has a fantastic group of teachers and support staff that encourage compassion among students. Our wide curriculum gives students the opportunity to gain a broader perspective on life and sets us up to be lifelong learners.” – Isabella, Year 13

Our senior student leaders have a significant part to play in leading school assemblies, representing the College in the community and as role models to the wider school.
Junior Leadership Opportunities
In Year 10 we offer a Junior Leadership programme which encourages students to contribute to the life of the school.
The years starts with a camp exploring the school values and finishes with an adventure camp in the Abel Tasman.
There are lots of opportunities during the year that enable the Junior Leaders to connect with and serve the community. Students are encouraged to join the Student Volunteer Army and are given an opportunity to participate in the Duke of Edinburgh programme.
So be inspired …
“School leaders collaboratively develop, pursue and enact the school’s vision and targets for equity and excellence. Their well considered strategic approach is consultative and inclusive.”
