Student body

The college has its own Associate Student Body, a student organisation more akin to a prefectorial system than to the student associations of New Zealand universities. Its president is Bruce McKenzie, and he has two executive members to assist him.

The "Seven Seas" has its own large student union and other facilities including a cafeteria shop and stationery service.

Its student newspaper, "The Helm" is a small duplicated publication.

Student clubs cover social, cultural, and sporting interests. The last are necessarily confined to sports which can be played on the confined area of the ship, such as volleyball.
