Student LEADers

My name is Hannah. I enjoy coming to Te Kura o Maarawaewae because it is a fun, caring and safe school where you learn, grow and thrive. I also like coming here because I get opportunities to do the things I love, including reading, writing, maths, art, singing, learning new things and making new friends.
As a student leader I want to set a good example in our kura, assist with Road Patrol and help the younger students in our school.

Hello my name is Bethany and I am a Student Leader.
You will find me at our school in a black top. My favourite thing about Te Kura o Maarawaewae is the kind, caring teachers and all of the cultures that make up our school.
I enjoy learning, especially math's. At lunch I can be found either playing football, doing cartwheels or hanging with my friends. When I am not having fun learning at school I spend time with my family and friends, dancing or painting. As a student leader I want to encourage kids to keep going even when things are hard.

Kia Ora,
I’m Raphael, but most people know me as Raphy. As one of our student leaders, I’m passionate about supporting others and helping out whenever I can. You’ll find me in a black shirt, leading by example and making sure everyone feels included. I’m a member of the choir, where I get to express myself through music and when I’m not singing, I’m often on the handball court having fun with friends. I pride myself on being funny, kind, and caring, always ready to lend a hand or offer advice. If anyone ever needs help or just someone to talk to, I’m always here, making sure everyone feels supported and valued.
House LEADers

Football is a big part of my life; I play for Blue Rovers as well as our School Football team and this is where I’ve had the chance to perform and share my passion. Outside of football, I’m a good guitar player. I have been involved in Bandquest and Kids Rock. Being part of Ranginui House has been an amazing experience, and I’m excited to lead our team this year with energy and enthusiasm!

I’m SamiSoni Moala and I am an Ika Roa Whare Leader for 2025.
It is my plan this year to make Ika Roa the best Whare group in GVS for 2025. I will do that by encouraging others in Ika Roa to get tokens or pick up rubbish around the school to help care for Papatuanuku. But most importantly this year I really want us to win Whare sports.
I am really excited to lead my house to success.
