Student Leadership
Leadership opportunities for Primary & Secondary Years
At St Peters Springfield, leadership is more than a title—it is a set of behaviours and values that empower students to make a positive impact. Guided by the researched informed leadership principles, our leadership program develops students' skills through modelling, vision-setting, innovation, collaboration, and recognition.
Leadership Pathways:
- Year-Level Leadership: From Primary Years introduction to leadership to Year 7’s theme of "Discovering Myself" and moving through secondary to Year 12’s theme of "Leading My Legacy," students progressively develop leadership skills through involvement in service, initiatives, projects, portfolios, and the iconic Ironbark experience.
- Portfolio Leadership Teams: Our Senior students lead specific portfolios such as Academic, Wellbeing, Faith & Service, The Arts, Sport, House, and Culture, each fostering purpose and agency.
Formal Roles:
Year 11 students can apply for leadership positions within a portfolio. Our Junior High students can apply to become portfolio assistants. Leaders embody Care, Dignity, and Respect, serving as role models and driving initiatives that strengthen the school community.
Outcomes:
Our student leadership programs nurtures confident, compassionate leaders equipped to inspire, innovate, and leave a lasting positive legacy.
