Clubs, Cultural and Sporting Activities

There are many Music, Drama, Literary and Art activities at LPHS. Students can join any of the 12 drama productions each year including musicals, dance, Shakespeare, one act plays, as well as some touring work. For the artistically inclined, there are many art competitions and yearly art exhibitions to contribute to.

The English Department supervises writing competition entries, speech and debating teams. Cultural groups like the Kapa Haka and Pacific Island performance group are also popular especially at the yearly International Concert. Youth Week held every year gives students an opportunity to perform in Karaoke, debating, compering, rock band performances and to enjoy an International Food Festival.

There are numerous opportunities for musical students, including two school choirs, several chamber music groups, an orchestra, an award-winning jazz band, and an after school rock music academy. An itinerant music programme gives students the opportunity to learn a musical instrument during school time.

There are active Robotics, Chess, Computer and Maths Clubs, as well as an enthusiastic Environmental Group.

House / Group System

Students are assigned a Group Teacher, who will look after their safety, well-being and academic progress throughout their time at school. At the beginning of each year we have a House Day to get to know new students. Each of the four Houses is made up of eight Groups and has a House Dean who takes overall responsibility for you and helps you sort any problems you have at school. House Deans and Group teachers will keep in touch with your whanau or caregivers.
