Student Leadership

Leadership is a key feature of our school. Great leadership abounds in all areas from students to teachers. We have a wide range of leadership opportunities for students such as Head Students, Sports Leaders, Enviro Warriors, Librarians, and Wet Day monitors. 

Opportunities are provided across the school with more of a focus on our senior learners to contribute to our school. 

This provides students with opportunities to grow and develop their own leadership capacity whilst supporting other students. 

Year 7/8 students apply for leadership roles in which they feel best suited, linking to areas of interest.
