Student Leadership

Mentone Girls’ Secondary College educates students to achieve their highest potential, so they become self-directed, confident and skilled as they take their places in society. The College aims to be an exemplary provider of leadership opportunities for all students, ensuring that they become well-balanced and resilient young adults capable of sustaining strong and supportive relationships in a changing world, and contributing to society’s general well-being. The College community values resilience, respect and personal best.

The student leadership program reflects the need for all students to develop leadership skills and have opportunity to put these into practice. The development of student voice and agency whereby students and teachers create partnerships in the development of teaching and learning programs is one of the key goals of the College’ strategic plan. 

Earlier in the term, we had representatives from the Student Voice and Advocacy team attend staff Curriculum meetings to share feedback from the student cohort about the need for our students to be able to identify more with our curriculum. Several Domains have had students and teachers working together discussing the texts and character roles that may appear in 2021 programs. This partnership empowers our students to be part of the conversation and ensure that content remains relevant to our students.
