Primary Student Voice

Our innovative Student Leadership Program centres on building leadership capacity in our students and empowering them to make a positive influence in the world. It involves leaders from Years 3 - 6 in Primary, where students work collaboratively to respond to school student and local community needs. Student Voice Leaders conduct many activities throughout the year to raise money for a number of charities. Student Voice has raised the profile of and respect for our students and their contributions to major community events.
