Here at NLPS we are always finding ways for our students to step into leadership roles.
There are many formal and informal leadership programs we run each year and we are delighted to watch students take on the challenge. Our student leaders exemplify our five school values of responsibility, critical thinking, compassion, respect and resilience.
Four Year 6 students are chosen each year to lead our school. They are students that have shown attributes of leadership throughout their primary years. Among their many roles these students host school assembly each Friday.
Each year, two students from each Year 1-6 class are elected by their peers to be on the Junior School Council. Under the supervision of staff members, the group has a lunchtime meeting once a fortnight to share and discuss ideas about how to make the school a better place.
Three students are chosen to be leaders in our Arts subject areas (Visual Arts, Drama and Music). These student help encourage others to be more involved and get the most out of the arts programs our school has to offer.
At the start of each year students in Year 6 can nominate themselves to be sports captains. After presenting a speech at assembly on why they would make a great house captain, all students in Years 3-6 vote. Two captains are elected to represent Blue, Yellow, Green and Red house teams.
