final year of primary school
Each final year student is encouraged to be an active leader in the school. He/she is expected to uphold and maintain the school’s fine reputation by wearing correct school, behaving appropriately, contributing to school life and setting an example of service and co-operation for others.
School Leadership
Year Six students learn about leadership and service and are given the opportunity to take on leadership roles throughout the year. The students are engaged in a program of self-appraisal and the recognition and acceptance of another’s talents/abilities.
Year Six students become involved in areas of leadership including: Environment; Care and Concern; Liturgy; Sport; Public Relations and Library.
By extending the role of leadership among many children, it is anticipated that more students will have the opportunity to display leadership qualities and initiative.
