Student Leadership

Junior School

Opportunities for students to participate in school wide decision making is highly valued in Junior School. Students are encouraged to develop their leadership skills. As the oldest members of Junior School, all Year 4 students are encouraged to see themselves as leaders in the school community and to set a fine example to all other students.

Each year, the students in Junior School vote to elect two Junior School Captains and one Student Representative per class to serve on the Student Representative Council. Students are not permitted to be on the Student Representative Council for two consecutive years, unless they are elected as Junior School Captain. This provides the opportunity for numerous students to develop their leadership skills.

These students participate in fortnightly meetings that assist them to develop their leadership style and learn skills that will assist them in their role.

The Student Representatives make other valuable contributions throughout the year. They:

  • lead Chapel Services
  • show delegates around the college
  • conduct student surveys
  • assist in school based activities
  • attend community functions
  • plan fundraising events

Middle School

All students in the Middle School are encouraged to be active in leadership. Our desire is for all of our students to become leaders who exert a positive influence on those around them, regardless of whether they have an elected badge or title. All our students are urged to look for opportunities to serve others, build community and do what is right.

Our formal Middle School Leadership structure consists of two leadership groups. The first is our Middle School Student Representative Council or SRC. The SRC leaders are chosen from each class by their peers from Years 5 - 7. Their primary role is to be a voice for their Pastoral Care class, help with culture building events and fundraise for our sponsor children. SRC also hold a special position of responsibility alongside members of our second leadership team. They meet on a fortnightly basis with the Assistant Head of Middle School.

Our second leadership group is the Middle School Leadership Team (MSLT). This group consists of six Year 8 students elected by both the student and teaching bodies. In essence, they are the prefects of the Middle School. Each elected member of the Middle School Leadership Team has a portfolio that they attend to. Each portfolio comes with a number of SRC members in which they lead. The MSLT meets weekly with the Head of Middle School to discuss their portfolios and better ways to improve the Middle School for students. They are also present at all important functions concerning the Middle School.
