Leadership

Today’s children are tomorrow’s leaders, so developing leadership skills is an important focus at Tahuna. You’ll have the chance to become a house captain, librarian, receptionist, team captain, class councillor or volunteer for a range of community programmes. You may be surprised how far these skills will carry you in life.

Make your views heard! Each class elects a class councillor and a deputy to attend school council meetings, discuss matters relating to the school and organise mufti days, social events and other fundraisers.

The chance to help those in need is offered throughout the year, as students volunteer for door-to-door appeals for worthy organisations.

Local environmental clean-ups are also a feature of the school year, helping to teach the importance of a healthy eco-system to our lives. The DCC has recognised the efforts of Tahuna students.

One student from each class gets to take part in the property committee, meeting regularly with the principal and the caretaker to ensure that school buildings and grounds are in a state where they can be enjoyed by everyone.
