Our Students

Year 6 Leaders

Leadership is a quality that all students at Grasmere Primary School are encouraged and supported to develop. Through the curriculum and extra-curricula activities, all students are encouraged to develop the skills necessary to be a leader. This ensures that all students perceive themselves as leaders and have the opportunity and confidence to take on leadership roles.

Student leadership roles challenge individuals to develop a sense of vision and purpose as they take on responsibilities and use decision-making skills in order to carry a project through to a successful conclusion. They develop interpersonal and intrapersonal skills including communication, negotiation, teamwork and reflection. Students are given opportunities to develop the skills of active, reflective listeners who respond effectively as they work with others to determine and achieve collective goals.

Student Leadership Congress

Every year our Year 6 Leaders participate in the Student Leaders Congress. The Student Leadership Congress challenges aspiring leaders and teachers to think differently about leadership. Bringing together students, teachers, shire youth groups, aspiring leaders and business and community representatives, the Congress aims to make a genuine difference in our regional communities. 

The Day long congerence, which the students attend in February, asks participants to think about issues and problems impacting their own communities and then to plan and deliver innovative solutions in the form of community projects. Students then work on their community projects together as a Leadership Team, back at school and in their communities. The projects and issues addressed have ranged from poverty, pollution to peer support and mentoring over the years since the Congress begun.

We thoroughly enjoy participating in this wonderful initiative with all of the schools in the Warrnambool area and the students very much look forward to being a part of the project.
