Leadership : Student Leaders

At Caulfield Grammar School we believe that all students can develop and demonstrate leadership, regardless of a formal title or badge.  

Service leadership and developing an understanding of the responsibilities that come with being a part of local and global communities are the focus of the many opportunities that students are provided throughout their school journey. 

Students can nominate for formal leadership roles as well as student-led committees across Junior and Secondary Schools in their areas of passion – from House Captaincy, Community Service, Wellbeing, Environment & Sustainability to Sport, Wellbeing, Theatre, Music, Debating and STEM by way of example.  

There are also informal leadership opportunities integrated within our International Baccalaureate (IB) student-led inquiry approach to teaching and learning within day-to-day academic and co-curricular programs. Leadership exposure and experience is age-appropriate, increasing in challenge and personal growth as students transition through their school years.  

Our ‘Year 13’ traineeships, integral elements of our Year 9 Kakadu Program along with our YJ Education Outdoors and Sport programs, give graduates an opportunity beyond school to gain valuable on-the-job work experience, provide care as a relatable student mentor, and receive ongoing professional development. 

All leadership experiences cultivate essential life skills and play a pivotal role in role-modelling our School Values and behaviours as well as shaping our School culture.
