Student leadership project

A group of aspiring Year 5 students have signed themselves up to the Year 5 Student Leadership Project to make our school and community a better place. The Project Team is working with the Marsden Learning Alliance schools to collaborate and support one another in their various projects.

On Tuesday last week, a group of students from the Project Team attended West Ryde Public School to network with students from the other schools and develop their ideas. They learned about the power of children’s ideas and contemplated what makes a good leader. They worked in mixed teams to define and refine ideas around a paper plane challenge. By the end of the day they had progressed their ideas by considering their goals, the barriers they may face, and the way they will measure success.

On Thursday the entire Project Group reconvened to work together on mapping their project for the year. It is safe to say that our future looks bright in the hands of these students!
