Student leadership

​​​​​

Student Leadership is based on the following beliefs:

• To provide an active and supportive role in student decision making
• To provide a role model for all students
• To represent the school on required occasions
• To assist other students to be the best they can
  
  All Year 6 students at Nirimba have a role and responsibility for leadership.  Badges will be presented for the designated leadership roles of School Captain, Sports Captains and Cultural Captains. As the school grows there is a possibility of other positions being created that will follow this program.
  
  A selection process towards the end of Term 4 each year will determine students who will assume leadership roles.
  
  The Student Leadership Program:

• Promotes the needs and interests of students
• Provides opportunities for students to be involved in school decision making
• Recognises the positive role students play in the development of a supportive school environment
  
  
• Rights and Responsibilities
