Kia Ora and Welcome to Pukekohe High School. My name is Zack Meads and I am extremely grateful to have been named the Amokura Haakinakina (Sports Head Student) in 2026.I was born in Wellington and moved and have lived in Pukekohe since 2013. Since then I have grown up in Pukekohe attending Valley School and Pukekohe Intermediate before starting here in Year 9.
Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my friends, running, and travelling across different parts of the country and hope to do this more in the future. In school I have been involved in many events and sports teams, including orienteering, football, swimming and athletics over the years and look forward to continue to have a large presence in my role in the sports department in 2026.
As a 2026 Amokura, I look forward to working with the Pukekohe High School community this year to progress and make changes in the schools environment and day to day life in a way they in-vision. My goal is to do this where all students feel like they can be themselves and enjoy their time at school. Across the year, I will aim to use my experiences and knowledge, to be a role model, and show positivity and determination towards enabling my peers into being the best versions of themselves and being proud students of Pukekohe High School.
