Learning & Leadership

Learning Through Leadership

 
 

A key feature of Windsor Primary School’s success is the active involvement in students in the life of the school. The school offers a diverse range of leadership opportunities for all students including joining leadership teams and participating in leadership programs.

These different leadership roles and programs provide students with the skills, values, and attitudes for effective student leadership – responsibility, organisation, patience and perseverance.

Windsor Primary School recognises that leadership responsibilities can be in many different capacities, and that leadership skills learnt in primary school can lay the foundations for future leadership opportunities.

Roles available include:

 

School Captains

Two school captains and two vice captains and elected from the Year 6 students. The captain and vice captain responsibilities include representing the school at external events, school tours, and conducting the weekly school assemblies. The captains act as role models for the rest of the school - through their uniform, attendance, enthusiasm, responsibility and dedication to upholding our school values.

House Captains

We have four houses: Wattle, Waratah, Bluegum and Peppercorn. Two captains are elected for each house from Year 5 and 6 students. The house captain’s responsibilities include running house sports and all school fitness sessions. The house captains also organise their teams and manage the sports equipment as well as motivating team spirit, attitudes, and efforts.

Off to School Captains

Two students from Year 5 are selected by staff for these positions. The students help with and lead our Foundation (Prep) orientation ‘Off to School’ program.

 

Library Monitors

Assist students with searching, borrowing, games, packing up, setting up, displays and keeping the library and art spaces safe and welcoming spaces. Library monitors are also rostered on to support class library sessions and lunchtimes.

ART Monitors

Responsible for assisting in the art room and providing instruction and guidance to other students during lunchtime sessions.

Buddies

Windsor Primary School’s buddy program links each Foundation (Prep) student with a Year 5 or Year 6 buddy. This creates a caring bond and provides our youngest students in the school with a sense of security. It helps the older students develop their sense of responsibility. For more information ​see our Wellbeing at Windsor page​.

CASSE

Creating a Safe and Supportive Environment (CASSE) Wellbeing Team is an action led student group of 10 students from Grade 2 to Grade 6. The role of a CASSE team member is to promote and observe good behaviour, and awareness within the school. The group looks at issues that they feel can improve school inclusivity, as well as promoting the school both within and in the wider community.
