Student Leadership

Year 6 Student Leadership

At Our Lady Star of the Sea we encourage and value student leadership. This is especially so with our senior students.

Late in the year, our Year 5 students engage in an off-site leadership  program, concentrating on character traits, growing a positive mindset and demonstrating a “can do” attitude. Discussions and activities relate to discovering a leadership role that best suits their individual talents and character strengths. At the beginning of each school year, leadership speeches are prepared and delivered and leadership badges are presented at a whole school Assembly, acknowledging the new leaders of the year.

The Leadership roles are:

  • Flag Bearers
  • House Leaders 
  • Visual Arts Leaders
  • Language Leaders
  • Performing Arts Leaders
  • Respectful Relationships & Social Justice Leaders
  • Fire Carriers 
  • Media & Technology Leaders
  • School Leaders
  • Library Leaders:
  • Sustainability Leaders:
  • Safety Club / Travel Smart Leaders

To ensure an authentic student voice, the Year 6 leaders participate in fortnightly “Take Charge” sessions, pursuing interests and activities that specifically aim at improving and adding to our school environment through the leadership avenues. Our Year 6 leaders promote, encourage and facilitate student led activities. They demonstrate the outstanding character strengths that they bring when planning and executing their activities.

Examples of a few leadership roles in action are:

– House Leaders be involved in promoting school wide sporting events, 

– Languages Leaders leading Indonesian activities,

– Fire Carriers participating in Reconciliation initiatives like Harmony Day and NAIDOC Week

– Visual Arts Leaders developing visual exhibitions for the school 

– School Leaders conducting Tours and representing the school in the community 

– Media leaders reporting and publishing electronically special events and promoting the great things happening in our learning community.
