Students

Through the power of positive role-modelling, St Michael’s student leaders have a huge influence on their peers. The School values of Dignity, Respect, Care and Compassion are at the heart of our leadership style.

You don’t need a badge to be a leader at St Michael’s – we ask all of our students to uphold the School’s core philosophy. Leadership characteristics, pertaining to all students, are fully integrated into our curriculum.

Being a positive role model, upholding the School’s values, positively influencing and enabling others, and initiating change are the driving forces for our student leaders.

St Michael’s students combine a strong social conscience with a passion to serve the community, with students at all year levels playing strong leadership roles in the School’s extensive Community Action Program.

There is a rich array of leadership opportunities for students throughout the School. Such roles enable students to gain valuable confidence and experience in learning about responsibility and organisation.

Leadership roles for Year 6 students include Co-Captains of the School (K–6), House Co-Captains, Music Co-Captains, Sacristans and Mentors. Students from Years 2 to 5 can also become Environmental Action Group and Community Action Group representatives.

Leadership opportunities for students in Year 12 include Co-Captains of the School (7–12), Co-Vice Captains of the School (7–12), House Co-Captains, House Co-Vice Captains, and Co-Curricular Captains. Students in Year 9 can also take up the role of Years 7 to 9 Co-Captains and Co-Vice Captains.
