On Thursday 4 June, Ngā Pou Herenga hosted a Head Prefects’ Conference with the theme of ‘Future Focus’, welcoming head students from a variety of secondary schools. The event took place in our lovely Event Centre foyer; the perfect location for the gathering of leaders.
The conference was a fantastic opportunity to connect with leaders across Tāmaki Makaurau, and allowed for our rangatahi to discuss thought provoking questions and issues as a collective.
We were fortunate to have Westlake Girls’ alumnae Kate Burley and Janet Van Jenkins to share their journey as leaders within Aotearoa, and how their future has been shaped by various challenges and opportunities. Both women shared insightful messages and advice, explaining how our future today is ever-evolving in a constantly changing world.
Thank you to the prefects from Epsom Girls Grammar, Westlake Boys’ High School, Rosmini College, Long Bay College, Glenfield College, and Northcote College for attending our conference. Thank you, too, to everyone who made this inspiring day of connection and forward-thinking possible!
