BOT Student Representative
Barry Baldo
My name is Barry Baldo and I am honoured to serve as student representative on the Cambridge High School Board for 2026.
Despite moving to Putaaruru, I have decided to continue my education in Cambridge because of the educational and extra-curricular opportunities available. As the Board plans for the future, I am committed to providing students with a voice that supports our interests, wellbeing and academic needs. I thank the students of Cambridge High School for electing me to be student representative and I look forward to collaborating with the Board.
Te Hunga Taikaakaa
Te Hunga Taikaakaa is our Maaori Leadership roopuu consisting of Year 12 and 13 tauira who are keen to promote Te Ao Maaori and to support and encourage our Maaori students. Tauira in this roopuu help to organise and run a number of significant events throughout the year including our Whaanau Welcome Evening, the Combined Cambridge Schools Kapa Haka Festival, Te Wiki o Te Ao Maaori and our Ngaa Poutiaki Celebration evening. Tauira also liaise with other leadership groups and Ngaa Poutiaki (Whaanau Support group) and readily lead by example and promote the core values of our kura.
Junior Executive
The Junior Executive is the Junior Leadership group for CHS. Students in this group organise a number of events throughout the year for the Junior School and also get involved in our wider community. Each week the students meet with members from the 24/7 Youth Work Team to discuss initiatives such as PB4L school wide focusses and lunchtime activities and how to best lead by example. Members of the Junior Forum also help with school event such as the School Ball and aim to encourage students to be active and participate.
