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.

“... the wife of an executive would be a better wife had she been a secretary first. As a secretary, you learn to adjust to the boss’s moods. Many marriages would be happier if the wife would do that.”
—Anne Bogan, U.S. executive secretary. As quoted in Working, book 1, by Studs Terkel (1973)
“I haven’t seen so much tippy-toeing around since the last time I went to the ballet. When members of the arts community were asked this week about one of their biggest benefactors, Philip Morris, and its requests that they lobby the New York City Council on the company’s behalf, the pas de deux of self- justification was so painstakingly choreographed that it constituted a performance all by itself.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
