Student leadership
Student leadership helps young people find their voices, participate in decision-making, and understand their rights and responsibilities as active citizens. It helps students have a real impact on their learning and school environment and prepares them to participate meaningfully in their community.
Students can be leaders in the classroom, through their actions in the playground, through their support for others, or their involvement in academic, sporting, cultural or local community events or projects.

We believe we have a responsibility to develop leadership skills in all student. All members of the community are asked to encourage students to be leaders.
We are committed to the wellbeing of every student and our aim is for all our students to flourish. Our student identifies school values are respect, compassion and integrity and we aim to create a positive learning environment based on these values. We encourage a growth mindset and use character strengths as the foundation of our Student Management Plan.

We believe making music benefits the community and brings joy. Combined with their knowledge of character strengths our student are focused on the belief – Be Good, Feel Good Do Good.
We believe all students should be equipped with the skills to lead when they finish school. In their final two years of schooling all students receive Positive Leadership training and are admitted as school Leaders when they complete their training.
