Student Leadership - Junior School

This year, the Junior School Leadership Team worked hard to help other students. Whether it was playing with the younger children in the playground or helping to hand out lunches, they did a great job.

Demonstrating initiative, the Leadership Team surveyed students to determine their needs and wants, in addition to how they could offer support. As a result, the student leaders researched and guided projects involving gardening, recycling and play equipment. Thank you to these students for leading by example and ‘Living out the Learning Profile’.

From Sienna McHattan

“I love being a leader! I love how I can bring new ideas and issues to the Leadership Team, which I am passionate about. I enjoy having agency over initiatives that can have a positive impact on our school and community.

This year, the Leadership Team looked into new toys for infant students, a school garden and bottle recycling bins in our playground. When we are in leadership meetings, it’s easy to communicate and get something done about your idea. For example, I suggested in a meeting to have recycling bins in the playground and straight away I had permission to start taking action.

Even though being a leader is a big responsibility, it’s highly enjoyable and very rewarding when you make a positive change to the school.”

From Mila Ayo

“What I think it is to be a leader is to serve our school and show leadership by being a good role model, being honest and learning from mistakes. I have learnt a lot this year and have really enjoyed being a leader because of all the opportunities St Paul’s has to offer. I hope that future leaders will have the same experience and joy that I did in my position.”
