Sale College Ambassador Program

After consultation with the current School College Captains and SLC members we would like to introduce a new College Ambassador Program which will allow students greater opportunity and involvement in leadership. The aim of this program is to develop highly confident and capable young student leaders.

The Sale College Ambassador Program will provide students with a greater connection to the College while developing skills in public speaking, chairing meetings, taking minutes, organising events and fundraising programs. Additionally, Sale College Ambassadors assist with special year level programs and events within the wider community.

Year 7 Student Leaders

In an exciting development for Year Seven, students from each class were given the opportunity to apply for the position of Student Leader. Each grade elected one student, which will result in significant involvement as a leader in many areas and events.
A coveted position within the Leadership Team will require dedication and a fierce drive from elected students to develop their leadership skills. Congratulations to the following students for being elected by their peers:
