Our Lady of the Sacred Heart School’s Leadership Program is based on our Vision and Mission of our school. We strive to provide a dynamic program that values equality of opportunity and encourages personal growth and development of self-worth in our students.

Our program aims to:

• recognise that students need to understand themselves as a person

• be inclusive and empowering for students

• recognise that leadership is a developmental process

• be nurturing of students

• develop ownership and pride within students

• provide opportunities for students to demonstrate leadership

• encourage students to be witnesses to our school’s Code of Behaviour

• recognise student s for their leadership contribution within the school

 

As part of this program students are given a good foundation for leadership development as they approach Year 6. The following components exist in varying degrees within our Student Leadership Program:

• Year 6 Leadership Day

• School Captain and Vice-captain

• House captains when there are eight or more students in Year 6

• Student-run Assemblies

• Mercy Mates - Wellbeing Peer Groups

• Organising school events
