Student Leadership 2025

It was with great excitement that the Year 5 students gathered on Thursday afternoon to finalise their preparation for leadership speeches. Students engaged in learning and discussion about how to present a speech. Importantly the criteria for leadership speeches was discussed and students collaboratively developed the voting criteria.

The speech guidelines included:

Introduction: Name, interests, what leadership position/s you are nominating for and why.

School values: Describe the ways you have demonstrated our school faith based values

(ie. caring for others, friendliness, respect, valuing difference, including others and showing responsibility) linked to Learning Powers: We Persevere,  Creative, Collaborative, Responsible, Reflective

Leadership qualities: What qualities of a good leader do you possess?                                   

Give examples of times when you have demonstrated the following leadership qualities: 

Collaboration, Initiative, Team skills, Commitment, Confidence, Organisation, Public speaking

Actions: Describe the actions you have already undertaken in your years at St John’s and what ideas you may have for future actions. 

The criteria for voting included

We wish all Year 5 students every success as they prepare for presenting their speeches later in the term. A special thanks to Grace and Mae who shared their experience of being a Student Action Team member and presenting a leadership speech.
