Student leadership

At Waratah Campus, we take great pride in our vibrant student voice and leadership program, offering valuable opportunities for students to actively participate in decision-making and nurture their leadership skills. We invite students to explore the following student leadership opportunities: 

Student leadership opportunities

Our four School Captains lead our Student Representative Council and are elected into their positions by students and staff. Year 10 students can apply for a School Captain role in term 4 each year and will be required to participate in a intensive leadership program to strengthen their leadership attitudes and skills prior to the election process.

 

Supported by Mr Myers, this group plays a pivotal role in organising assemblies, contributing to special school events, and providing input into the School Improvement Plan. 

 Working with Darren Woodhouse and the Aboriginal Education team, this group focuses on building relationships with Partner Primary schools, supporting year transition programs, and organising events that promote a deeper understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture. 

Supported by Mr Garbutt, this group promotes inclusivity, ensures diverse perspectives are considered in school planning, and coordinates Harmony Day and community art activities to foster a welcoming and inclusive school environment. 

A formal structure with elected roles, this group collaborates with other Junior AECG teams and the AECG Council to shape its direction and foster a strong community connection.

All student leaders are expected to demonstrate commitment, accountability, strong communication skills, positivity, confidence, empathy, and effective listening. We are committed to developing these qualities in all students who join our leadership teams.
