Extracurricular Activities

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 seven Groups and has a House Dean who takes overall responsibility for you and helps you sort any problems you have at school. House Dean’s and Group teacher’s will keep in touch with your whanau or caregivers. 

Important Dates

Our official term time school hours are 8.55 am until 3.00 pm.

Outside of these hours we can not accept responsibility for students unless they are involved in authorised school activities.  

Lockers

Lockers are available to all students this year at a cost of $25.
If you would like a locker for 2024 please come to the school office.

Weekly Feedback

We are keen to communicate regularly with parents/whanau to support all of our young people to develop positive learning habits. We provide weekly feedback (available in the Caregiver portal) for all students in Year 9-11. Every teacher provides a grade in their subject which gives a quick snapshot for parents to see how their child is engaging and working. Many parents find it a useful starting point for conversations with their teenagers about school.

The grade is based on teacher observation of students’ Learning Habits over the week in three categories:

1. Readiness to learn: this includes punctuality (being at class on time), having required books and equipment (pens, rulers etc, or PE gear, as detailed by subject teachers) and wearing correct uniform.
2. Engagement with learning: this includes behaviour, following instructions, participation in class and application to activities.
3. Task completion: including homework.

There are 4 grades:
4 = Outstanding learning habits observed
3 = Good learning habits demonstrated
2 = Inconsistent learning habits causing concern
1 = Learning habits causing significant concern

The week runs from Friday period 1 until Thursday period 6.
Generally a 3 (good learning habits) is what we expect from most students, whereas a 2 (inconsistent and causing concern) indicates there are areas for improvement, for example with homework completion, and a 4 is reserved for outstanding learning habits observed across the week.

Over 90% of surveyed parents appreciated the Weekly Feedback.
More detailed academic reports and comments are issued regularly throughout the year.

Weekly Feedback is NOT an indication of academic performance or ability.

You are encouraged to contact subject teachers by email if you have any questions or concerns.
