Aspiring Leaders Conference
Aspiring Leaders Conference, Friday 28th of March
The Aspiring Leaders Conference was held at Heathmont College's HOPE Centre. It was an exciting opportunity for local Primary School Leaders to embark on a transformative journey of leadership development. This Conference was led by our very own Senior Student Leaders!
Our goal for this day was to empower our junior local leaders with the essential skills and knowledge needed to become effective leaders within their school community. We firmly believe that strong leadership is the cornerstone of fostering a positive, inclusive, and thriving school environment.
The program covered insightful training sessions including:
- Public Speaking: Develop the confidence and ability to communicate effectively in front of both small and large groups. Effective public speaking is crucial for conveying ideas and inspiring others.
- Communication: Enhance interpersonal and communication skills, encompassing active listening, empathetic communication, and conflict resolution. Effective communication lies at the heart of successful leadership.
- Teamwork: Learn the art of collaborative work, leveraging individual strengths to achieve common goals. Effective teams are more productive and better equipped to tackle challenges.
- Problem Solving: Develop problem-solving skills and critical thinking to address various challenges that may arise in your role as school captain.
- Taking Action as a Leader: Acquire the skills needed to initiate and lead positive change within our school community, turning ideas into impactful actions.
- We also welcomed our guest speaker, Lachie Clarke, who shared valuable insights about his leadership journey as a Senior Student Leader at Heathmont College.
The day was packed with learning, inspiration and connection, and we look forward to more opportunities for collaboration with our fellow leaders and building our community.
Your Senior Student Leaders,
Ms Constance, Mrs Dykman & Rachelle Jones (Maroondah Council)
