Through the many student leadership roles, students have the opportunity to contribute to decision-making within the school and take on responsibilities for a variety of school activities.

Many students strive to become our Year 6 School Captains. It is a highly respected role, that the students take pride in. We appoint School Captains at the beginning of each year. The School Captains have the following roles and responsibilities:

House Captains

Year 6 students also have the opportunity to be a House Captain for one of the four school Houses - Red, Gold, Green and Blue. The House and School Captains assist in a variety of sporting and organisational activities throughout the school year. Leading their House in sports competition is a highlight of their leadership role. House Captains are also responsible for Friday morning interschool sport set up, newsletter articles and assembly sports reports.
