Leadership and Student Roles

We believe that students develop character most effectively when they are given meaningful opportunities to take responsibility, to Strive and Serve others by contributing to the life of the school. Students are encouraged to take on leadership roles appropriate to their age and experience. These roles provide opportunities for students to develop leadership, communication, organisation, teamwork and responsibility. They also encourage students to model our fundamental principles of Kindness, Tolerance and Respect and to make a positive contribution to the school community.
