Leadership and Service

Service and leadership are significant aspects of student life at Howick College. We emphasise developing and supporting young people to become future leaders in our society.

Community Service

Volunteering and community service engage students with the school and wider community, creating strong connections and increasing social awareness and responsibility.


Students at all year levels are encouraged to contribute positively by identifying and addressing issues and inequalities. Through helping those most in need, students learn they can collectively make a real difference.


Howick College has established relationships with charities and not-for-profit organizations. Students actively participate in charity fundraising, blood donation, environmental projects, and social causes, learning to appreciate the importance of service and contributing to the greater good.

Student Leadership

By taking on leadership responsibilities, students become problem solvers who drive initiatives and events while modeling Howick College values and positive attitudes.


Our student leadership team includes Head Students, House Leaders, Council Leaders, and a Board of Trustees Student Representative. They receive leadership training and work closely with staff to support the wider student body and realize their vision for the College.
