Having spent some time reading over the applications from our Year 6 children who wish to become Student Leaders, it reinforces to me the very Values and Principles we have here at Wairakei School.
Each child on the application form, has to give three reasons why they would like to be a student leader. The children all talk in their applications about the need to work hard, to think , to apply their knowledge or skills to tasks, and to respect others – children and adults! These children are role models in our school for others.
There is also an endorsement of the qualities described by each person given by the teacher and the parents. This partnership is of great importance and is certainly a meaningful connection between home and school.
Great going Shane. Developing Student Leadership is so important for the welfare of the school and for the future of the children. Have you had the opportunity to teach about leadership and train the leaders through The Joshua Foundation? Great to see your blog up and going.
