Student Leadership

Our school mission statement is Creating Opportunity To Succeed – and our student leadership programme is a great example of how we look to achieve this for our students.

From as early as Year 7, students have the chance to put themselves forward for leadership positions, which they do so via a written application and interview process.

They are given the platform to develop their leadership, communication, teamwork and many other skills based around our Future Me framework as they work their way through to Year 11, at which point they can apply to become a member of the Prefectural Board.
