Round Square Middle School Leadership Conference

Whanganui Collegiate School, New Zealand, is proud to be hosting this Leadership Conference for Middle School students. The conference theme is ‘If you are called to lead – you are invited to serve.’  It will highlight the impact of service leadership for the global future. 

The conference will provide opportunities for delegates to hear from leaders who have served their community, through guest speakers, baraza discussion groups, cultural visits, and leadership/service opportunities. 

Whanganui is located in the central north island, surrounded by rivers, sea and volcanic mountains. Each have their own story and teachings as depicted in the saying, Ko au te awa, ko te awa ko au – I am the river- and the river is me. This conference will undoubtedly provide delegates with an enriching and worthwhile experience that will further their understanding of leadership through service, and of New Zealand and her rich culture.

St Philip's College has the opportunity to send six student delegates and one teacher to this conference. 

If you are in Year 9 and are still 15 years old by December 4th then this is for you!
