Student Leadership
Leadership Opportunities
Leadership is a key element of our vision for the school and our students. Our student leadership structure is designed to provide students with important and empowering opportunities within the school; to take on positions of responsibility and rise to the challenge as they shape decision making and contribute to theirs and their peers' experience.
Students are inspired to develop and practise a range of key skills, including mentoring, problem-solving, communication, collaboration, presenting, team work, leadership and many more through their roles; putting them in good stead for their future and building firm foundations for success.
