Ngā whānau rōpū

In vertical groups named ngā whānau rōpū, our students support the values of the college. The groups are designed to encourage role modelling, mentoring and to develop leadership. This whānau structure is also the mechanism for the pastoral care of students, looking after their personal and learning wellbeing. Whānau groups will meet regularly, work together, and participate in sports events and camps together.
