2024 Student Leader Positions - Year 5 students

Year 5 students who nominated for school leadership positions are very busy preparing their speeches in preparation for their presentation in the coming weeks.  Our student leaders play a very important role in our school community.  They are ambassadors and role models for our school and participate in many and varied activities from leading assembly each week, guided tours, Mass ministries, sporting events, growing and selling garden produce and the list goes on.  Our current Year 6 school leaders are exemplary role models to all students and we are very proud of the leadership potential and development of our students and the school values they display in their interactions and leadership roles.
