Our student leadership programs offer valuable experiences that help students cultivate excellent communication and interpersonal skills to effectively achieve both individual and group goals. Through leadership roles, students develop essential life skills such as empathy, active listening, problem-solving, teamwork, conflict resolution, and embracing diversity. 

Engaging in leadership positions allows students to embrace accountability and take ownership of their achievements and successes in life. At Sheldon College, we offer a variety of formal student leadership roles, including: 

  • Captain 
  • Vice-Captain 
  • Prefect 
  • House Leader 
  • Middle College Leader 

These positions empower students to lead by example, contribute to the school community, and make a positive impact on their peers and the wider school environment. 

By participating in our student leadership programs, students have the opportunity to refine their leadership abilities, gain practical experience, and develop the skills necessary to thrive in future endeavours. At Sheldon College, we are committed to nurturing the leaders of tomorrow and providing them with the tools they need to succeed. 

Everyday Leadership

At Sheldon, we value everyday leadership, where every student has the opportunity to demonstrate their leadership skills in various capacities. Whether it's taking initiative in group projects, mentoring younger students, organising school events, or fostering inclusivity in the classroom, informal leadership opportunities abound.

Students can also showcase leadership through their involvement in clubs, sports teams, and community service projects, where they inspire and motivate their peers by example. These experiences not only cultivate leadership qualities but also contribute to a vibrant and supportive College community where every student's contributions are valued and celebrated.
