School Executive Council
Newlands College has a school executive with several roles for students. The executive consists of a Head Boy (James Halpin, 2013), Head Girl (Sachinie Wanasinghe, 2013), four House captains per house, an International Students' Representative, Komiti Maori Representative, Sports Captain, Arts Captain, Academic Captain and Board of Trustees Representative.
Supporting the Executive is the School Council that has two representatives from each year level. Each form class has two Form representatives, of which two of each year level are elected to be Year level representatives. A form class is similar to a homeroom. These groups meet regularly to facilitate all student related activities from the extensive inter-house arts and sports competitions, school dances, and senior ball through to community based projects.

Kill’d with report that old man eloquent;—”
