Student Leadership

Student Leadership in Action – Remembrance Day 2026

Yesterday, our student leaders demonstrated outstanding leadership, initiative and community spirit by organising and leading our whole-school Remembrance Day ceremony.

In the lead-up to the event, they proudly supported the annual Poppy Appeal, selling poppy badges across the school community. Through this initiative, they helped raise awareness of the significance of Remembrance Day and encouraged students, staff and families to remember those who have served and sacrificed in times of conflict.

Our student leaders also coordinated and presented the ceremony, delivering speeches, introducing proceedings and helping ensure the event ran smoothly. They approached these responsibilities with confidence, maturity and teamwork, demonstrating a genuine commitment to their leadership roles.

The ceremony provided an opportunity for our school community to pause and honour the service and sacrifice of Australian service personnel, past and present, while reflecting on the importance of peace, respect, courage and gratitude.

We are incredibly proud of the way our student leaders represented Saltwater P-9 College and led by example. Their actions reflect the values we strive to develop in all our students and remind us that leadership is not simply about having a title – it is about taking responsibility, serving others and making a positive difference.

May We Always Remember Them.
