There are many opportunities available for our learners to take on leadership positions within our school. Have a look at some of our fabulous student leaders and the amazing things they do to contribute to our school.
"This year is our time to shine, and remember: no job is too big, and no one is too small!
You all have special superpowers hiding inside you. Some of you are lightning-fast, some are master builders, but here at May Road we all have the biggest hearts for helping.
We need every single one of you because we work together to make a better school!
To lead means to be a great helper, and these students are here to serve our school family.
Leadership never stops growing. We will keep looking for even more leaders throughout the year, but right now, let’s celebrate our teams.
Patrols / Student Advocates / Ako Hiko Ambassadors / Enviro Team / Hall Team / Active Supervision Duty Team / Sports Team / Choir / Mana Ora/ Bike Ambassadors

Our Enviro team has been really busy planting and caring for our gardens. We are proud to have a thriving vegetable garden which is used to promote healthy eating habits throughout the school. Our amazing volunteer Sarah shares her knowledge of what to plant and how to plant. Whaea Aamel and Mrs Yusuf work with the teams on Wednesdays at lunchtime - weather permitting.
There is a team of Cycle Ambassadors who have been taught how to use the bikes correctly and how to use them safely. They will be able to teach others to use the bikes in a proper way. We think bikes support a healthy and sustainable world. Every class has a turn each week. It is cool to have our own track in our school.
We help with the smooth running of duties

The rōpū share their learning about the history of Pukewīwī and mana whenua, with others in the school.
