Junior Journeys

Congratulations Junior School Leaders

By Kellie Osborn Email this article

Developing leadership is an important part of building a strong school community.

In the Junior School, we have student leaders who work collaboratively to develop initiatives for our cohort and across the College. These students also support a range of community and social justice projects throughout the year.

Being an effective leader requires students to develop qualities and skills in themselves and to nurture those of others. We aim to build upon their understanding and skills of leadership and assist each student to become a respected leader who acts responsibly with integrity and models ethical behaviour. It is in this way that our students develop the personal attributes and capacity to lead at any level, both wisely and with compassion.

Our Student Representative Council (SRC) leaders work cohesively to enable and support student voice from their classroom in support of Junior School specific initiatives, planning and events.

The Year 5 student leaders work closely with the Junior School students and staff in these areas:

- JS Music Leaders

- JS Physical Education Leaders (For each House team: Dalton, Barry, Fitzpatrick and McAuley)

- JS French Leaders

- JS Student Mentoring Programme Leaders

- JS ICT Leaders

- JS Library Leaders

This week, we held our Junior School Leadership Induction ceremony. Our Junior School Leaders were all very proud as they received their badges in front of their peers and we shared a blessing for them. We know that through their words and actions that they will demonstrate our Mercy Keys – loyalty, integrity, compassion, justice, mutual respect and responsibility – and lead in a way which supports our Junior School to be a place where all students have a voice and experience kindness, care, support, positivity and connection through their relationships and daily experiences.
