2026 Head students

Zana Simpson – Head Student

Hey I’m Zana! It’s a pretty cool opportunity to be one of the Head students this year and I’m looking forward to a fun last year of school. Out of school I really enjoy playing hockey and netball during the winter. I’m lucky to say that hockey has taken me so many places around NZ, recently to North Harbour to compete at the U18 nationals for Tasman. In the summer I’m all for a mission into the hills with my best mates and recently a run over the viaduct during Coast to Coast in Feb this year. After school I will most likely be found at the local pool teaching swimming lessons which has taught me so much patience. I’ve grown up on a farm which has inspired me to pursue a career as vet. So hopefully that’s where I’ll be next year! This year I hope to share a message to other students that if you really want something, anything is achievable if you work hard. You don’t have to be the smartest or the fastest you just need to keep showing up.

Emily Everest – Deputy Head Student

Hi, I’m Emily and I am proud to be one of the Deputy Head students this year. During my free time I love to get into the outdoors with my friends, this has helped me build confidence, and face everything with a positive attitude. I am a very outgoing and happy person who is always keen to try new things and give a helping hand, so if you see me around school feel free to come up and say g’day! I wanted to be a part of the leadership team this year to encourage all students to give everything a go and have input on making the school a better place.

Rebekah Provis – Deputy Head Student

Hi, my name is Rebekah, and I am a Deputy Head Student. I play netball, korfall and basketball. In my spare time I love to go to the lake and hang out with friends. I wanted to be part of the leadership group because I want to help organise and participate in activities/events within the school.
