Student leadership is a core focus at Rangitoto. Students are encouraged to contribute to school life and and wider community, with leadership teams guiding peers across a rich mix of cultural, social, and service opportunities that make our campus vibrant and inclusive.

Our goal is for students to be happy, kind and respectful, living the College values of Respect, Integrity, Courage, Excellence and Pride.  Opportunities abound to serve, lead and participate in school and community groups, helping each learner grow in character and confidence, with skills that prepare them for the future.

• Are connected, respectful, and caring: respectful individuals who build strong relationships and contribute positively
• Strive to succeed: motivated learners who set goals and work hard to achieve them
• Stay positive and optimistic: motivated learners who maintain a constructive outlook, even when challenged
• Make thoughtful decisions: consider options carefully and choose wisely
• Own their own learning: take responsibility and view learning as lifelong
• Show resilience: cope with pressure and bounce back from setbacks
• Keep curiosity alive: Retain natural creativity and a love of discovery
