MORNING TEA OPTIONAL SESSION Time Management for Student Leaders
(
Room)
Student leaders usually have many responsibilities that demand their time. This short session will give practical strategies to help student leaders manage these pressures before it becomes an issue. ELECTIVE SESSION #1 (choose one) Involving More Students in Your School Events
(
Room)
Every student leadership team wants more students to be involved in the events that they organise. The solution isn’t actually to just keep putting up more posters. This workshop unpacks four practical strategies that attract greater involvement, with numerous examples from other schools. Creative Ideas for Your School Which Aren’t Events (
Room)
Being a student leader should always be more than just organising events, but sometimes it can feel like the events are the fun part. This workshop shares lots of great ideas from other schools to help student leaders add variety to the way in which they positively influence students, the school, and the community. ELECTIVE SESSION #2 (choose one) Improving Something You Feel is Impossible (
Room)
There are things about every school that students want to improve, but it can feel like it would be impossible. This workshop will look at how to approach challenges in a positive way, as well as three practical strategies that give the best possible chance of making a lasting improvement to the school. Keeping Your Team Motivated (
Room)
Sometimes the initial enthusiasm of a student leadership team can wear off, and things can be harder as time goes on. It is important for a team to prepare for this so that motivation levels can remain high. This workshop provides four practical tools to put in place to prevent things from ‘fading out’ over time.
