We encourage all our students to take every opportunity to put their hand up for leadership roles within our school. After all, today’s leaders may well end up being tomorrow’s leaders.
Our Year 6 to 8 students can apply to be library monitors. Successful applicants are then trained throughout the year to assist with: issuing and returning of books, arranging shelving displays, shelve fiction and nonfiction, write book reports and other library duties. Library monitors are expected to turn up to their duties on time (morning tea and lunch breaks) and always be ready and willing to help. Librarians also need great communication skills to suggest good books to their fellow students.
Students interested in becoming library monitors, should apply in writing to the Library Manager: sharon.hailstone@hobsonville.school.nz
Students can choose to be a part of this essential leadership group. The Police School Liaison Officer trains the road patrollers and they usually have one duty per week. The students are on duty in the mornings from 8.30am to 8.50am and then again from 3.00pm to 3.15pm.
If your child is interested in becoming a road patroller please contact: christine.pasfield@hobsonville.school.nz
This prestigious role, similar to that of a prefect, is a new title for Hobsonville School, one that we are introducing to streamline and raise the status of Year 7/8 student leadership at our kura. All Year 7/8 students had the opportunity to apply to be a Rangatira, and we received a total of 32 very impressive applications.
This year’s Rangatira group comprises eight Year 8s (six female, two male) and four Year 7s (two female, two male) and the students in this mix have varying levels of experience in leadership roles and a variety of interest areas, e.g., coaching, culture, sports, arts, events, the environment, academics, wellbeing, etc. These 12 Rangatira will have responsibilities across the school that we will loosely group under these key roles: Sports, Culture, Events, and Environment.
Eight of the Rangatira have also been selected to represent Awa, Maunga, Kainga and Waka houses, which carries extra responsibility during school events, and in supporting the junior school students.
We are looking forward to seeing how this group works together and the positive impact they can have on our school and community this year and beyond.
These students will be growing their leadership throughut the year and will be supported through attending a Leadership Conference and workshops with the Senior Leadership Team and their teachers.

We have introduced the Caregiver @School App, which will enable you to securely view information about your child, view reports, receive notifications, send an absence message, etc.
You will receive an email regarding the Caregiver @School App when your child enrols. Please contact the school office if you do not receive
this email.
Click on the link at the bottom of the email to access your child’s records. Please ensure that you copy and keep the ‘User ID’. After you have logged on for the first time you are then able to change your password but not your User ID. If you have more than one child you will receive another user name and log in. You only need to use one log in to access siblings. You can swap children’s records by just clicking on their picture on the APP.
After you have logged in you should change your password. You can then use your respective APP store – Google PLAY or Apple App Store and search for ‘ETAP’. Then click on the @school APP option. You will then be prompted to enter your ID and the new password you just created.
