During the school year, Grade 5 students participate in Leadership excursions and activities in preparation for leading the school in their final year of Primary school. Students decide where best they could lead and nominate to join one of four Leadership teams: Social Justice, Critical and Creative Thinking, Environmental Stewardship and Health and Wellbeing.

Members of each team are encouraged to give a one-minute profile speech to their respective team members. This speech can include information about their leadership style and any ideas for how the team will serve our school community. Team members then vote for 2 Team Leaders.

In the following calendar year, the Year 6 students will organise and run the different groups, with the help of a teacher/executive mentor. Past activities have included, sport fun days, Mini-Vinnie appeals, art competitions, landscape designs of school gardens to mention a few.
