Student Life

Leadership begins with responsibility, not with confidence, visibility or a title.

Age-appropriate responsibility

Opportunities begin within the Home Room and gradually extend to assemblies, events, community initiatives and the Student Senate.

Many ways to lead

Some learners lead from the stage. Others lead through an idea, careful organisation or the ability to bring people together. Some lead quietly, by noticing who has been left out.

Leadership as service

A position gives a learner a voice. Responsibility teaches them how to use it.
