Act Leaders are ready to walk the walk-they don't just talk the talk. Set concrete goals and follow the steps necessary to achieve them. Anyone can have a great idea, but not everyone can make that vision a reality. We have an active body of Student Leaders who work as ambassadors for the school. Student Leaders have a variety of roles, giving our students a voice in decision-making. The Student Leaders’ work allows them to learn how to effect positive change and take on roles of responsibility to prepare them for life beyond college. Learning, sustainability and healthy eating are topics that can be looked at closely, however, each student group can determine their main areas of focus. What is Student Leadership? Also known as Student Council -Student leadership means students take active roles in their education and develop positive skills in the process. The goal of inspiring student leaders is to create a culture of ownership, collaboration and community in the classroom.
