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.

Famous quotes containing the words school, executive and/or council:
“Their school a crowd, his master solitude;

Plucked bitter wisdom that enriched his blood.”

“More than ten million women march to work every morning side by side with the men. Steadily the importance of women is gaining not only in the routine tasks of industry but in executive responsibility. I include also the woman who stays at home as the guardian of the welfare of the family. She is a partner in the job and wages. Women constitute a part of our industrial achievement.”
—Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)
“There by some wrinkled stones round a leafless tree
With beards askew, their eyes dull and wild
Twelve ragged men, the council of charity
Wandering the face of the earth a fatherless child....”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
