It has been a busy term for our Year 5 student leader applicants. Students who chose to participate in this process began by completing the student leadership form and writing a leadership statement. The next steps was shortlisting of School Captain roles and House Captain roles. The students who were shortlisted were asked to prepare and deliver a speech to their peers – year 4 and 5 students. After hearing their speeches, the students voted and votes were counted. All other roles were allocated through collaboration of the CSS teaching team.

There are some new roles for CSS in 2025 – Cultural Captains, Sustainability Ambassadors and Senior Leaders.

I would like to congratulate all student leader applicants. They have demonstrated that they have a commitment to leadership and operate with kindness and interest in supporting other students. All students are to be commended for how they managed this process, displaying maturity and grace.

2025 will be an exciting year for these students and we look forward to working together and watching our student leaders grow.
