Student Leadership

We strive for students to be confident, capable, and engaged citizens prepared to face global challenges with empathy and integrity. We do this by providing them with opportunities to develop their voices and agency in their learning. We encourage and support student leadership opportunities to develop confidence and a sense of responsibility. We prioritise student agency by actively involving students in decision-making processes related to their learning and school experience.

We are very proud of our student leadership program at Hallett Cove East Primary School.  Every year, our year 6 students apply for leadership positions at the school and work alongside staff and other students to deliver on whole-school programs, special events or distribute important information to the school community.

The student leaders speak with other students about the things that really matter in their learning or wellbeing. They even get to provide advice to the principal on the directions of the school.

Our leadership groups include:

  • Lighthouse Leaders
  • Wellbeing Leaders
  • Physical Activity Leaders
  • Nature Nurturers
  • Charity Champions
  • Genki Kids
  • Digital Citizens
  • Literature Lovers

All older classes are also buddied with a younger class. The buddy classes meet regularly to engage in a number of activities to develop positive relationships between older and younger students. Buddy classes present one assembly a year and may also participate in other activities together.
