We reflected on Leadership as we celebrated Year 6 at their Induction Service. In Year 6 not every student takes on a specific role, but this does not mean all Year 6 students cannot lead. I would like to encourage all Year 6 students this year to actively expresses our philosophy of student-led learning. As the oldest and most experienced students in the Junior School, our Year 6 students are role models for younger students, particularly the girls and boys in the Junior School who are beginning their school journey. It has been so encouraging to see so many of them who have commenced this journey as they guide and engage with students during break times. The Year 6 students will have the opportunity to work with their teachers and other members of staff throughout the year as they identify and grow their skills and are encouraged to take initiative, make courageous choices and reflect on how they are leading others. Over the year I hope you will read the articles by our Year 6 students as they provide a student insight into school events.

Leadership is a responsibility and privilege the School takes seriously. We believe it is imperative for young people to learn how to lead others effectively because at some point in our lives, we all exercise leadership! Our Christian perspective is about serving others, rather than ourselves. Each leadership role fulfils a special service in the School and reflects our philosophy of a student-led learning environment. This philosophy of leadership sees leadership by students, for students. All Year 6 students have important roles, which will enable them to contribute to the improvement of our school and the wellbeing of others •
