Student leadership is an integral part of the Year 6 learning program at St Paul’s.
All Year 6 students are involved in leadership through participation in the 4 ministries – Christian Leadership, PE & Sustainability, Events & Music and Library & IT. Each term students swap their ministry role so that by the time they leave St Paul’s they have had the opportunity to lead in a variety of areas.
Members of the Christian Leadership ministry develop their leadership skills throughout by undertaking such activities as:
- assisting with the organising of masses and liturgical celebrations
- collecting donations from the school community for St Vinnies
- run the PowerPoint for hymn singing
The PE & Sustainability ministry takes on leadership roles including:
- organising fitness activities in the mornings
- supporting sustainability projects such as the veggie garden and No-Waste Lunch initiatives
- assisting in running the athletics, cross-country and swimming carnivals
- taking responsibility for the sports bins during break times
Our Events & Music ministry are responsible for:
- raising and lowering the flag each day
- assisting with assemblies and special events
- setting up for incursions
- reading the merit awards
- leading and assisting with music events and assemblies
Our Library & IT ministry undertakes such activities as:
- accessioning books
- organising the library learning space
- assisting with library tasks and displays
- going into classrooms to assist teachers with the use of apps and devices
