School Life Student Leadership STUDENT COUNCIL Our Student Council is a very important part of the fabric of the school. It gives our students an opportunity to develop management and leadership skills and to participate in the development of student facilities. Each form group from Year 3 upwards has two representatives and the council has an executive committee, which steers the work of the group. All positions are filled by direct elections from the student body. STUDENT PARLIAMENT In the Juniors each class has a class student representative who attends the junior school parliament at which they contribute to school improvement.
PREFECT SYSTEM We expect our senior students to be good role models for our younger students. We are proud of the contribution they make to the leadership of our school. We offer our senior students the opportunity to contribute to school life through the Prefect System. These positions are filled by a joint process of selection and direct election by the staff and students. SENIOR PREFECT LEADERSHIP TEAM In the Junior and Senior schools, Head Prefects are appointed to lead student prefect and student parliament groups. They are known as the Head Prefect Team in the Senior School, and assisted by Deputy Head Prefects and Student Ambassadors.
DIGITAL LEADERS In Juniors and Seniors, we appoint students to provide leadership with the use of IT who support learning using digital technology. ECO RANGERS In the Juniors Eco Rangers are appointed. They are responsible for initiating ways to makes the school as eco-friendly as possible. OUR EXPECTATIONS OF STUDENT BEHAVIOUR The standard of behaviour amongst our students is very high and we have a strong tradition of teachers and parents working together to promote good behaviour. We aim to teach, enable and encourage our students to develop positive attitudes, good manners, care and respect for others, self-control and the ability and willingness to be accountable for their actions. We make our expectations clear to students and we expect them to take responsibility for their behaviour. Students have a responsibility to choose the appropriate behaviour. Failure to do so does have consequences.
