Enjoy your holiday!
Leadership Opportunities for Y5-8:
We have been working throughout Term One on creating a new student leadership structure
at Maungatapere School. This has taken time and has been an interesting journey for the
children and the Management Team. The structure of the school council has changed to
better meet the needs of the whole school. We are establishing 4 Ambassador roles, where
selected children will take on being the spokesperson/people representing Maungatapere
School, along with 12 House Leaders who will lead the 6 school houses. All children at
Maungatapere School will be placed in one of the 6 houses, with siblings. These house
groups will participate in schoolwide events and have an interschool competitive element.
We are happy to announce the 2024 school counsellors, ambassadors, house leaders:
