At Findon Primary School, student leadership is a valuable opportunity for students to develop their skills in being leaders, organisers and active members of the community. Through the many leadership roles, students have the opportunity to contribute to decision-making within the school and take on a range of roles and responsibilities. This promotes a sense of student voice and engagement within our students across Foundation to Year 6.
The student leadership roles that our school offer are:
- School Captains – Year 6
- Student Representative Council Members (SRC) – Year 6
- Sports Captains – Year 6
- Wellbeing Ambassadors – Year 6
- Green Team – Year 5
- Class Leaders – F-6
Some of the main responsibilities that our student leaders have are:
- Running our weekly whole school assemblies
- Organising a range of fundraisers on a termly basis
- Supporting the organisation of whole school events
- Mentoring younger students, in the yard and in the classroom
- Initiating school based projects
- Acting as a bridge of communication between the student community and our staff/teachers, allowing all students to have a voice
- Collaborate with teachers, staff and the school principal to bring about positive change and improvements
As a member of the student leadership team, students have an essential role in representing their peers, promoting positive change and fostering a sense of community within the school. Students are given a range of prospects to share their knowledge and ideas through the following:
- Attendance at offsite leadership conferences
- Student forums
- Leadership training on a fortnightly basis
- Weekly student leadership meetings
A Message from our School Captains
Hello, we are your 2025 Findon Primary School Captains, Sai S and Mia G. We’d like to share a little bit about ourselves and our school.
This year, we have already organised and hosted several events to raise money for our school, including the Findon Carnival, with much more to come! As School Captains, our role is to represent the student voice, support our peers, and help make our school the best it can be.
One of our goals for this year is to help secure a 3D printer, which we hope will be ready to use in specialist classes as an exciting new learning option for students. Our school is always looking for ways to improve, and we’re proud to be part of making those changes happen.
We are committed to being the best School Captains we can be, and we look forward to listening to and acting on your ideas and suggestions.
Kind regards,
Mia and Sai
