In 2025, a new subject called Emerging Leaders was introduced for Year 10 students with a strong interest in developing their leadership skills. Students who wanted to join had to apply and go through a rigorous interview process to ensure their suitability and commitment. Designed for those with leadership aspirations, the subject focuses on practical and meaningful experiences, including supporting Year 7 students through their transition into high school and their first semester.
We are a supportive and collaborative group striving to create a positive impact. The Emerging Leaders program aims to equip students with valuable leadership skills. Emerging Leaders are involved in mentoring Year 7 students, volunteering, and supporting mentor teachers during student life sessions.
The leadership journey began late last year by helping incoming Year 7 students transition into high school. Leaders joined them on their first day, encouraged them to step out of their comfort zones, and built positive relationships with both Year 7s and mentor teachers. They participated in student life sessions throughout the term, engaging in activities and motivating students to be their best selves. They also represented the school at twilight evening by conducting tours and practicing their leadership skills. Later in the term, they played a key role at Year 7 camp, planning and delivering activities.
The Emerging Leaders have made a positive impact on the school community. They’ve created a safe and welcoming environment for Year 7 students, supported teachers, and proudly represented the school. These leaders have become relatable role models for younger students. The experience has been incredibly rewardingβ€”teaching life skills, building leadership, and fostering meaningful relationships across year levels.

During Term 1 and 2, our Year 10 Emerging Leaders have been investigating what it takes to be a leader πŸ’‘ and the different paths you can take to become a leader at school 🏫 and within the community 🌏.

On Monday, we welcomed 5 leaders from within the Tea Tree Gully council πŸ™Œ who shared their very different paths to becoming a leader – the challenges and successes πŸ’¬. A key focus was on the personal and social capabilities that are needed to be a successful leader. Students learnt the importance of being brave and taking a risk 🎯, lifelong learning πŸ“š, and that you do not need to be the expert in everything – being a leader is about having the right people around you to help everyone reach their goals 🀝.

Students will now reflect on what they learnt 🧠 and how they can use this to build their leadership skills 🌱.

We thank Shannon Hockley, Rebecca Baines, Victoria Masterman, Olivia Harvey and Pam Thomas for their time and for sharing their personal stories today πŸ™βœ¨.
