STUDENT LEADERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

At Canberra Grammar School, students can access diverse leadership opportunities to foster personal growth, community engagement, and global awareness. These programmes cultivate confident, compassionate leaders who contribute meaningfully to their School and community.

The House system plays a key role in leadership development. Students lead and organise House meetings, developing public speaking, organisational, and leadership skills while building community spirit. The peer mentoring programme further enhances this, as older students guide their younger peers, fostering empathy and collaboration.

For Year 5 students, the Cultural Immersion Leadership Day is a highlight. This programme prepares them for Year 6 leadership by encouraging appreciation for cultural diversity and challenging them to embrace new perspectives.

The Student Representative Council (SRC) operates across Northside, Southside, and Years 3–6, providing students a platform to advocate for their peers and implement initiatives that drive positive change. Through the SRC, students gain valuable governance experience, amplify their voices, and strengthen their sense of belonging within the School.

These leadership opportunities empower students to take an active role in their education, preparing them to be thoughtful and inclusive leaders of the future.

Competition remains central, with events like swimming, debating, and athletics energising the School.
