The Film Club
In the Film Club students have fun making short films and music tracks using Apple’s iMovie and Garageband.
With the guidance of the Media Studies teacher, students can learn media production skills through a variety of small projects. They can then go on to entering film competitions or sharing their work online.
The teacher in charge of the Film Club is Mr Vanderlaan.
Part-E Key Club


The goal of the Part-E Key Club at Glenfield College is to build awareness of, and passion for, our unique surroundings here in Aotearoa. This will be achieved through learning traditional games and activities in a Māori context, which will bring to the forefront the richness New Zealand culture has to offer.
Students learn two KEY aspects of our New Zealand culture. They are tikanga? (culture), and manaaki tangata (to show respect).
All students are welcome. You only need an interest in learning a new skill and to have fun while doing so. We will collectively learn about flax weaving, garment preparation, weaponry skills, Māori musical instruments, song and kapa haka. This also includes listening to music and watching films along with other fun activities.
Students may have the opportunity to perform in competition or non-competitive events and earn NCEA credits.

MUNA (Mock Model United Nations Assembly)
The Mock MUNA showcases an array of costumes, personalities and some of the upper North Island’s best aspiring diplomats.
The two-day assembly/conference involves around 80 schools representing 100 countries, who are all members of the General Assembly of the United Nations.
The assembly/conference involves students carefully researching their assigned country in preparation for the discussion of five remits, an emergency situation and impromptu debate, as well as other matters which arise during the two days.
Glenfield College is supported at MUNA by Glenfield Rotary, whose financial support makes our attendance at MUNA possible.
Students involved are usually selected as an extension of their study in the Social Sciences subjects at Levels 2 or 3, however, any student wishing to be involved should see Mr Snookes.
