Student Leadership

Picture
Student leadership is a valued area at BHPS. As demonstrated below we have a wide and varied program that promotes many opportunities for children to "learn" how to lead. We aim to develop an awareness and understanding of what makes an effective leader by teaching explicit skills and encouraging students to be involved in  the leadership roles offered throughout the school.  Our focus is on developing students’ individual leadership abilities and confidence with public speaking skills.  Our leadership roles allow students to be involved in a variety of areas across the school from fundraising for organisations, organizing school sporting events, encouraging cross age teamwork and developing an area of expertise.  As leaders of the school we know if we all work together Briar Hill will continue to be a strong and cohesive community.
