Student Leadership 2026

At our school, Student Leadership is about far more than wearing a badge - it is about service, responsibility and leading by example.

Introducing our 2026 School Leaders to you. Meet Indie, Alicia, Jim & Rylan!

They have already been busy learning the ropes of what it means to be a School Leader at Holy Spirit. From building their understanding of servant leadership to developing confidence in speaking, organising and supporting others, they have embraced the responsibility with enthusiasm and maturity.

Over the coming weeks, you’ll see them leading assemblies, supporting whole-school initiatives, participating in School Tours, modelling our STAR expectations and working alongside staff and students to strengthen student voice across the school.

Meet our 2026 Student Leaders.

We are excited to see our 2026 leaders step into these important roles and make a positive impact on our school community.

Our 2026 Student Leaders will:

• Model our school values every day
• Demonstrate initiative and responsibility
• Support younger students
• Represent our school community with pride
• Be positive role models in learning, behaviour and attitude

We are incredibly proud of the way they have stepped into this role and look forward to the positive impact they will have on our community throughout 2026!

Our very best tour guides will be your children! They are incredibly proud of their learning and will enjoy showing you around their classroom, sharing their work and explaining what they have been learning.

We look forward to welcoming you into our learning spaces!

Maths Pathway in Year 6

This year, our Year 6 students are using Maths Pathway as part of our ongoing commitment to strengthening Mathematics learning and teaching across the school.

Maths Pathway is an evidence-informed program that supports personalised learning in Mathematics. It allows teachers to use assessment data to identify each student’s current level of understanding and provide targeted learning tasks designed to build confidence, fluency and problem-solving skills.

Through Maths Pathway, students:

• Work on concepts at their point of need
• Receive regular feedback on their progress
• Set learning goals and track their growth
• Develop independence and ownership of their learning

Importantly, Maths Pathway does not replace explicit teaching. Our teachers continue to deliver whole-class instruction aligned with the Victorian Curriculum for Mathematics, using clear learning intentions and success criteria. The program supports this instruction by providing additional targeted practice and consolidation opportunities.

By combining high-quality explicit teaching with personalised learning pathways, we are working to ensure every student is challenged, supported and making strong growth in Mathematics.

If you have any questions about Maths Pathway or how it supports your child’s learning, please feel free to contact your child’s classroom teacher or our school's Mathematic's Leader, Ben Lannen - blannen@hsringwoodnth.catholic.edu.au
