elective sessions
MORNING TEA OPTIONAL SESSION Top Tips for House Captains
(
Room)
A vibrant house system has the potential to be a significant addition to many schools. This optional session is included in the conference to pass on tips that are specific to students assigned to leadership roles within a house structure. The practical advice and video examples will give House Captains strategies to see immediate improvement to their house spirit and involvement. ELECTIVE SESSION #1 (choose one) How to Involve More People in School Events
(
Room)
Every student leader seems to love the prospect of having more people involved in school events. To try and achieve this, leaders almost always focus on improving the event and misunderstand that the focus should be on people. This workshop equips students with three practical strategies for improving event attendance by focusing on people, with numerous examples from other schools. How to Maximise My Contribution to My Team (
Room)
Being part of a team is much more than being given a role. Imagine if every member of your student leadership team contributed to their maximum level. This workshop equips students with four practical strategies designed to make every leader a valuable member of the team. ELECTIVE SESSION #2 (choose one) How to Create an Amazing School Culture (
Room)
Student leaders are uniquely positioned to have a considerable influence on the culture of their school. By implementing the right strategies, student leaders can genuinely influence the attitudes, behaviours and customs that exist within the student body. By considering examples of other schools, this workshop will examine three helpful approaches to create an amazing culture at any school. How to Choose and Advance a Cause (
Room)
There are lots of great causes that are worthy of support, so how should student leaders go about selecting the right one? The first part of this workshop takes students through a practical tool for identifying a suitable cause to support. After identifying this cause, the second part of the workshop unpacks the four steps to advance the cause so that the school can make the biggest impact possible.
