Student Leaders 2023

Congratulations again to our 2023 Student Leaders. It is indeed an honour to be recognised for the leadership qualities that you currently possess and the qualities that you aspire to. I’m certain that every student receiving a position, will engage positively and passionately in their leadership roles. I encourage every one of you to embrace and enjoy the challenges and responsibilities that lie ahead. Please see the 'Cheltenham East Primary News and Events' page for photos of all our student leaders.
