The role of the student leadership programme at QBS is to provide opportunities for Year 6 students to further develop their skills and personal qualities including leadership, responsibility, confidence, effective teamwork, cooperation, collaboration, and developing action ideas. A Student leader leads by example, promotes student agency, and embodies the learner profile, the school mission, and essential agreements.
Student leaders will choose an area of leadership connected to their passion. They are expected to:
- Be examples to all members of the school in the way they live the learner profile and attitudes.
- Be a good role model by being respectful, responsible, and looking for the good.
- Encourage others to develop student agency by taking on leadership opportunities and positions of responsibility and provide opportunities for them to do so.
- Be balanced by carrying out leadership roles and still be fully committed to their learning and extra-curricular activities.
- Attend student leadership meetings and contribute positively.
There are several ways that students at QBS can become student leaders.
