Introducing our School Leaders  

At St Johns Park Public School, we have 4 school leaders - 2 captains and 2 vice captains. The leaders are firstly nominated by their grade peers in Year 5 who then vote for the top 12 candidates. The successful 12 students, 6 boys and 6 girls, then create a campaign poster and each deliver a speech to students and teachers in Years 2 - 5. These students vote, as well as our teachers, and our leaders are then selected from the counting of the votes. This year our school leaders have been involved in many events from hosting our whole school ANZAC Ceremony to Stage assemblies and working collaboratively on a project within the Cowpasture Network, always respectfully representing our school. We are proud of their behaviour and the leadership skills they have demonstrated throughout the year.
