The People Counting on Student Leaders

This session reveals the groups of people who rely on student leaders every day. Through practical discussions, leaders will unpack how their actions, habits, and decisions impact each of these key groups. A clear four-part structure will guide leaders in creating a plan for the year ahead. Lots of perspectives will be shared through video examples and conversations with other schools.

Morning Tea Optional Session: Top Tips for Fundraising

It's common for student leaders to be involved in fundraising projects, so this is something that should be enjoyable and not scary. This short session gives practical tips based on success stories from other schools. (This will only go for the first 10-15 minutes of the break so that you can still get some fresh air afterwards.)

SESSION 2 

Being a Leader Who is a Role Model

Schools expect their leaders to be role models, but it’s not always clear what that actually looks like in practice. This session explores how student leaders can intentionally model the things that have the biggest impact on others. We will focus on three key traits to model: high standards, demonstrating values, and the right attitude. 

Electives #1 (choose 1) 

Option 1: Maximising Involvement in School Events

When leaders spend time organising events, it's always hoped that students will get involved. We’ve identified three strategies that lead to maximum involvement, and during this workshop we will explore how these can be applied to all kinds of events. 

Option 2: Maximising School Pride

No school is perfect, but student leaders play a key role in shaping how their peers feel about the school. In this workshop we will explore strategies and ideas that are enjoyable for leaders to implement, and also result in greater enjoyment througout the whole school.

Option 3: How to Function Well as a Leadership Team

Leading can be challenging if you're on your own, or in a team environment that feels frustrating. Through activities, discussion and practical examples, this workshop explores some of the essential tools for functioning well as a team. 

Option 4: How to Support People Who Need it Most

There are lots of reasons why somebody may need support, and student leaders are often in a unique position to help. This workshop looks at how to provide support in ways that are managable for student leaders, and beneficial for those who need it most.
