Student Council
Te Parito Kōwhai Russley School has four houses, named after surrounding streets, which were developed for two reasons; belonging and fun. Each house is led by a senior student who works to foster belonging across all age groups. House Captains support students during various house events while having fun. Leaders run a variety of assembly challenges where houses compete against each other in crazy activities. House points are also earned through positive playground behaviour, participation and excellence in sporting and classroom activities.
