We encourage leadership at all levels, with our Student Representative Council an important part of school life where students can bring their ideas on making St Cecilia’s an even better place to be!

​

‘The role of the SRC is to be the voice of the students, find out what students think, help make the school a better place for everyone, and have an impact on decision-making in the school. 

 

Year 6 Leadership

Our aim is that our students will recognise that leadership is an ongoing learning process and one which is developed through attitude, education and experience. 

The rationale for this type of leadership includes:

• Every student in Year 6 has the shared responsibility to lead the student population.

• Every student in Year 6 has the right to develop his or her own leadership qualities.

• Every student in Year 6 has the potential to develop leadership skills over time.

• Every student in Year 6 has the right to develop and demonstrate leadership skills.

• Every student in Year 6 will have the opportunity to engage in new challenges.

• Leadership opportunities should be provided within a real life, challenging curriculum.

• Leadership opportunities should provide for, and encourage, equal participation by boys and girls.

• Leadership is based on service to others.

• A range of styles of student leadership should be offered and experienced by every student in Year 6.

• Leadership roles need to be perceived as valuable by the students and the school.

• Leadership skills, knowledge, attitudes and values are encouraged and developed through a wide range of school programs and activities.
