Our Students

At Bellevue School we like to provide opportunities for our students to grow as leaders.

As children progress through the school, we foster their leadership skills by encouraging them to take on roles and responsibilities that support others, grow their skills, and contribute to the wider school community.

Just like the ‘real world’, the students apply for these roles, are given training and develop their leadership with the support and guidance of their mentor teachers and their peers.

It is our aim that the students become the kaitiaki (guardians) of their place.

School Librarians

We have a large number of responsible and reliable Hub 5 (Year 5 & 6) students who take on the roll of librarian.

Here are some quotes from our librarians –


My role as a librarian is to…

Issue, return and shelve the books
Student
Be a role model
Student
Help people in the library
Samitha
...take a role of leadership and it's also actually a lot of fun. I love being a librarian even though I'm new to the job. Probably my favourite part is the librarian awards!
Atrisa
... treat others with respect and to help people think that being a librarian is cool (which it is!). I have always admired librarians from a young age - you see my sister was a librarian and I always visited the library - plus I am helping the school.
Harper
...help the kids that need helping ....and you have lots of fun while doing it. Plus you can tick something off your Bell Challenge as well!).
Kendra
...do with reading. If I wanted to I would buy the whole library!
Quinn
...make sure the library is quiet, tidy and in the situation that I would wish it to be when I visit. In my opinion the library is a treasure that we need to look after.
Nour
...scan books and as a librarian I can borrow as many books as I like. It's being responsible for doing a job and I like that.
Dylan
...like books. When I was in Hub 4 I got to be a librarian and it was really fun so this year I decided to be a school librarian.
Emma
...help others and commit to do a job - the library is the best place to do that.
Katherine
..helping little kids. I enjoy doing librarian meetings and working with others or helping the community.
Phoebe
...help out the school and step up. I am still learning new things but I really enjoy this leadership role.
Thea

Student Council

Our motto? 'Just do it!'

The Student Council meet once a fortnight to discuss student concerns, ideas and charity fundraisers.

Two student councillors are selected by their peers in each of the Year 4 – 6 whānau classes and one from each of the Year 1-3 classes. These students plot out the charity fundraising events for the year, discuss how they will run, communicate events with the wider school and get things happening!

Just some of the things the Student Council have been involved in recently:

  • Star Wars Day

  • Pink Shirt Day – Anti-Bullying Campaign

  • Games stands at the Book Fair

  • Onesie Day for Wellington Free Ambulance

  • The Disco

  • Pack the Bus (The Breeze Radio)

  • SPCA donation collection

 

In their own words – What Student Council Does:

In Student Council we:

  • Help with fundraising and events

  • Try to make school a better place, think of ideas, and make the world a better place

  • Listen to our classmates and bring their ideas to meetings

  • Are role models – we don’t just tell others what to do, we show them

  • Organise events, help our community, keep others informed (emails, newsletter, etc.), and share what’s coming up during hub time

Bellevue-Newlands-School-Play-Pod

Playpod Monitors

In our middle playground, we’re fortunate to have a huge container filled with all sorts of exciting loose parts — barriers, cones, fabrics, and even old household items — perfect for sparking imaginative play.

During Terms 1 and 4, the Playpod is open every fine lunchtime for students to enjoy.

We’re lucky to have a dedicated team of monitors who help by setting up the equipment, supporting play, and ensuring everything is tidied away properly at the end of lunch.
