Touch Rugby
It is Touch Rugby season and some of our students are involved in teams or across school teams. I have received some wonderful feedback about the caring, inclusive actions of our tamariki on the sports field. This is a great reflection on our students, their families and our school culture. Super proud of you all!
Senior leaders
Nurturing our senior students as leaders has been an evolving journey for Pembroke School over the past three years. This year we have made a few tweaks to the process we use to select our Head students. In previous years the students had to write a letter to staff, this year we changed things up a bit and asked our applicants to modify that letter into a speech which they presented to the whole school. We then opened up for our Year 7 and 8 students to have their say about who the 2024 leaders would be and they voted for who they thought would make the best head boy and head girl. Staff also had a vote, with the exception of those who had a conflict of interest. Last Friday we announced who would be the head students for 2024 and took the time to recognise all of our Year 7 and 8 students who step up as house leaders. To all our seniors who took the time to apply and bravely put themselves out there in front of the whole school to tell us why you were a great choice, we are so proud of you. We hope that those who were not successful will apply next year if you are still at Pembroke or in the future when you move on to high school, you would all make amazing leaders and the voting was ridiculously close.
