Student Leadership Council (SLC)
Operating from the College Captain structure is the Student Leadership Council (SLC). The program is offered to interested students at each year level to build confidence and develop skills in leadership. The group meets regularly. The agenda items may consist of school community activities, leadership, professional development and a focus on fundraising. This group is not responsible for the enforcement of rules nor has any punitive responsibilities.
As an elected SLC member, students have been given the opportunity to show that they are a good student leader and show that they can involve themselves in a positive way in the life of the school community. As they are aware, along with this privilege comes the responsibility of exhibiting exemplary student behaviour, attending to work requirements in a diligent way, consistently wearing correct school uniform and showing respect for everyone in the school community.
