Student leadership
Develop your students’ leadership and teamwork skills.
Our Student Leadership workshops introduce students to the principles of leadership, and then work on the practicalities of what this means in a school.
The workshops cover the four cornerstones of leadership: vision, values, passion and people skills.
Each student then gets the time and opportunity to practice some of the practical skills that are required to lead effectively. This is done through interactive leadership games.
This workshop helps students improve their:
- Leadership skills
- Confidence
- Communication skills
- Problem solving
