As a College we are conscious that the transition to a years 5-12 school comes with questions about student leadership. Being the youngest in the school, what does leadership look like for us?

 

In Stage 3 there will be many opportunities for student leadership. It is our belief, as evidenced in research, that formally structuring and providing opportunities for genuine student voice, improves engagement and outcomes for our students. In Stage 3, we have considered how a Student Representative Council (SRC) may be formed to represent the ideas and voices of the many children in the cohort. These structures are still in consultation and being formalised, but students will have the opportunity to nominate themselves to become an SRC leader in Year 5.

 

As Year 6 commences in 2028, formalised leadership structures will be introduced, with Junior School Captains and portfolio leaders being elected, in addition to the SRC which, in 2028, would include members from each class in Year 5 and 6.

 

Further details about these opportunities, how to apply and the structures, support and commitments required, will be detailed to students and families in 2027.
