Future Leaders

A very big thank you to our 2021 Semester One Future Leaders:

Executive Team: Bartek, Sophie, Declan, Zara Estelle, Archer, Chanel and Jarrod

Middle Future Leaders: Milla, Tyler, Lachlan and Madison

Junior Future Leaders: Angus, Annabelle, Chelsea, James, Margaux and Isaac

Future Leaders met on Monday afternoons and discussed important school issues. Students contributed items that had been discussed at their class meetings and suggested new ideas for our school. Minutes were taken at each meeting and these were reported back to each class by their Future Leaders.

Last semester the Future Leaders discussed and enacted many items:

• Effective leadership
• Expectations of Future Leaders
• Child Safety Student Code of Conduct
• Inspiring bell songs
• Respecting self, others and property
• School Wide  Behaviour Expectations
• Behaviour Consequence Flowchart
• School disco songs
• Whitehorse Active and Safe School project
• Building Project

Congratulations to our Semester Two Future Leaders. We will be presenting the following students with their badges at next week's assembly.

The Future Leaders Program aims to develop leadership skills through students working as a member of a team, sharing their class's ideas and opinions and reporting back about meetings to their classmates. The Future Leaders Program is one of many leadership opportunities students at St John's can experience to develop their leadership skills.

We are presently reviewing our Future Leaders Program. If you would like to contribute to the review process, you may email me at moshannassy@sjmitcham.catholic.edu.au and identify What is Working Well or suggest ideas Even Better If.

Many thanks,

Monica
