Kia Ora,

My name is Tai Pullen, and I’m honoured to lead Unaunahi as a Whānau Captain alongside Blake Beardsell in 2024 Giving back to the community has always been something I have not taken lightly, and I can’t wait to further extend my service with this role this year I love my sport, currently representing WBHS nationally for rowing, sailing, and adventure racing - all sports that require great communication and cohesiveness, which is something which I hope I can also bring to my role as Whānau Captain in 2024. I look forward to the challenges, and opportunities that will arise throughout the next 8 months, and to make the most of my last year at Whangārei Boys’ High

Kia Ora,

My name is Blake Beardsell, I am one half of the Unaunahi Whānau Captains for 2024 and am honoured to be in this position alongside Tai Pullan If I was to describe my time at Whangārei Boys’ High School I would say champions, after 4 years here Unaunahi has won the Whānau competition 3 times This was the main reason for me putting my name forward to be Whānau Captain. I love sport no matter what it is and I am very competitive which I believe is what pushes me to try to make it back to back whānau titles for Unaunahi. I look forward to the year ahead working with Tai and the rest of the Unaunahi team

Kia Ora, Shwmae, my name is Coby Jones. I have been trusted with being a Mangopare Captain at Whangārei Boys’ High School in 2024, together with my good mate Lauchlan Marvin Ever since my year 10 year when my brother Adyn obtained the role of Whānau Captain, I have been inspired to follow in his footsteps and become a leader myself I have had a strong connection with this school long before I attended in 2020, hence my motivation to excel, motivate and participate in all aspects of school as a student and a leader I relish the responsibility of welcoming the next generation of students to the school and mentoring them through their first year of highschool. I am looking forward to leading Mangopare with my co-captain, to improve and achieve more.

Kia Ora,

My name is Rishi Ghosh and I have the privilege of being one of the Poutama Whānau Captains along with Hozay. I have always enjoyed helping people and giving back what I can to the community Throughout my years at Whangārei Boys’ High School I always participated in events and tried to give it my all I encourage everyone reading this to always give things a go b ti fli th t 5 h

Kia Ora,

My name is Lauchlan Marvin I have the honour to be one of the Mangopare Whānau Captains at Whangārei Boys’ High School for 2024, alongside my close friend Coby Jones I have always had a passion to lead and I am very fortunate I was chosen for this role at the end of last year. At our most important inter whānau swimming sports event, observing the look on the Mangopare boys faces when placed last and then we rose to fourth place, was really exciting to me especially seeing the determination of the boys to succeed I hope to bring success for Mangopare and break the drought of a highly competitive inter whānau title I am excited to see what the future has for myself and my fellow students

Kia Ora,

My name is Hozay Gillies-Walters and it is a privilege to serve as a House Leader/Whānau Captain of Poutama. My lifestyle is orientated around my sports and studies.

My time throughout high school has been nothing but a privilege and I remain thankful for everything that Whangārei Boys’ High School has provided and the opportunities that I’ve been able to take advantage of

Kate Bradley - Head Girl

STUDENT LEADERS

The College presents many opportunities for its students. I aim to lead by example and encourage the students to utilise these opportunities and extend themselves to try new things, despite backgrounds or past experiences Personally, I have come to love many new sporting and musical extracurriculars through Huanui. It’s incredibly valuable and important for the students to experience as many aspects of learning as they can.

Jade Culham - Whanaungatanga Deputy Head Girl

As a leader I want to actively involve students in all activities that happen With the students’ ideas and opinions they can help things run smoothly and make them enjoyable My advice to younger students is to make the most of the College experience This is the only opportunity you have, academically and socially, so enjoy swimming sports and cross country!

Nate Owens - Deputy Head Boy

Since I was in Year 7, I have always looked up to the student leadership team and admired the work that they had done for the school. I have also wanted to have the opportunity to leave a positive impact on a place that has impacted our lives so much. Joining the leadership team in 2024 gives me the opportunity to leave a positive impact on the school

Charlotte Gorrie - Deputy Head Girl

This year, I look forward to running competitions the whole school can get involved in I am also extremely excited to get to know all the younger students who have just started at Huanui, as well as to create stronger connections with the current students The main advice I would give to the younger students is to take advantage of all the opportunities that come your way, as you never know where they could lead you

Alex Horwood - Head Boy

Over my years here I have come to see that this small school will live very close to my heart for the rest of my life I have grown up here physically and mentally in the last five years and I’ll never forget the memories I have made My aspiration as Head Boy is to make the whole school community a more fun and vibrant group to be a part of The sense of community in a small school like this is vital.

Evan Hostad - Deputy Head Boy

I want to help the students of Huanui to be comfortable expressing and being themselves whilst at the College Before I came to Huanui, I was home-schooled I understand the stress you might be going through with the transition of schooling styles, but I think it is 100% worth it. My advice for everyone would be that you never need to struggle alone There are so many of us here to help you whenever and wherever you need it

Ariya Naidoo - Deputy Head Girl

To my fellow students, especially the younger ones, I offer the advice of embracing every opportunity for growth School is not just about academics, but also about discovering your passions, building friendships, and developing resilience. Cherish the journey, seek guidance when needed, and remember that each setback is a stepping stone to success. Ultimately, High School is a transformative period where personal development takes precedence over prescribed roles

Huanui College, founded in 2010, and set in the tranquil rural outskirts of Whangarei, Northland, draws upon open-minded, enterprising, supportive young adults to inject their energy and enthusiasm into this stimulating and expanding learning environment.

“Challenging ourselves to reach our potential”

Principal Korero

After a productive year last year with the 2023 Student Leadership Team, I am very excited about the team of leaders we have for 2024 Our Intermediate Leader of Learning and Well-being, Mrs Fiona Macgregor supports this team of students

Students, staff and whānau know the importance and responsibility of a student leadership position at Taipa Area School Our Students

leaders are excited about making a difference and leaving a strong legacy within their portfolios

Taipa Area School firmly believes that our school values Manaakitanga, Painga and Mahitahi should be seen, heard and embraced throughout the day at school

Our student leaders have been selected because they do this every day I have been very impressed with the student leadership team this year These students demonstrate

excellent communication skills during assemblies and are developing opportunities for all students to have their say and a choice at Taipa House Captains meet with our House Leaders (Whaea Latoya, Mr Carruthers and Matua Haare) to organise inter-house competitions

These activities generally occur at lunchtime, always pull in the crowds and give opportunities for our future leaders to develop

Our Student Leaders are

responsible for Hauora, culture, sport and the environment

Each leader has a staff mentor who supports them with initiatives in these areas within the school

Finally, our Head Students work closely with Mrs Fiona Macgregor They meet every Monday to discuss the student voice which gets generated by the recently developed student council
