WRITERS’ CLUB

Writers’ Club is open to all. It is especially for those who love to read and write, or want a quiet place to form connections with other like-minded people.

Writers will be encouraged to submit work for competitions, such as Re-Draft, and will learn about the publishing industry in Aotearoa. The group is led by a published writer and former magazine editor.

Writers Club will run in
H33 on Tuesday lunchtimes.

RAINBOW CLUB

WARDROBE CREW

Wardrobe Crew is an integral part of our school Arts and Culture programme, supporting various school events and clubs.

The aim of the club is for students to experience the many facets of working in a wardrobe team. The Wardrobe Crew will assist with costumes for Dance and Music groups. Wardrobe Crew meets Thursday lunchtimes.

LEO CLUB

This club provides young people with an opportunity for development and contribution – individually and collectively – as responsible members of their community.

As the youngest members of Lions Clubs International, LEOs embody the philosophy of Leadership, Experience and Opportunity. Meetings are held fortnightly during lunchtimes on Day 10 (Friday) and will start Friday 21 February.

Watch the school notices for room details.

PHILOSOPHY CLUB

Philosophy Club is open to all and a chance to discuss issues such as the nature of right and wrong, what is the “good life,” what is the “just society,” and meaning of life in general.

Students will develop critical and creative thinking skills that will help them in other school subjects. Philosophy Club meets Friday lunchtimes.

SLAM POETRY CLUB

A poetry slam is a competitive art form where poets – aspiring or experienced – perform their poetry against fellow poets and in front of an audience.

Poetry slams give poets the opportunity to practice performing their poems in engaging ways and gather the reactions of the live audience in front of them. Held on Thursday lunchtime in H36.

TECH TEAM

Tech Team is an integral part of life at HGHS and is a support to many school events such as Talent Quest, Multicultural Week and Dance and Music showcases.

Students will develop skills, knowledge and understanding of AV Technical systems, while providing AV support and control for school events and keeping the technical systems in a tidy, well-managed state. There is no fee to be part of this club. Students meet monthly.

VISUAL ARTS CLUB

Do you love being creative but didn’t pick Art as a class this year? Or maybe you just enjoy making cool stuff but didn’t want to take it as a subject?

Then the Arts Club is totally for you! It’s the perfect spot to let your imagination run wild, try new things, or just work on whatever you love, all while hanging out with other creative people. Join us Fridays at lunchtime in Davies Block – it’s run by our awesome Prefect and her Arts Committee, and it’s all about having fun and expressing yourself!

VISUAL ARTS COMMITTEE

Joining the Arts Committee is your chance to dive into the world of visual arts, get creative, and hang out with others who share the same passion.

If you’re keen to be a part of it, just see our Prefect to get on the Arts Committee!
