Students Thrive at Leadership Conference The Thrive Student Leaders Conference (a CIS initiative), took place on February 22nd, with eleven of our Grade 11 students in attendance. Attendees started the day reflecting on their own personal leadership style, while developing an understanding of others. They were then led through a series of workshops by student leaders from multiple independent schools—which not only gave them the opportunity to reflect on approaches in our own school, but to consider ways to enhance these through a student leadership role.
