Gladstone Park Primary School promotes leadership amongst the students by offering a range of roles and responsibilities.
One of the privileges of being a Year 6 student is that they are able to apply for School Captain, School Vice-Captain and Year 6 Leadership positions. Within these roles, students host events, run assemblies, participate in school tours and promote leadership within the other year levels. These roles require the students to use their higher order thinking, listening, empathy skills and motivation to actively contribute to the school community.
Students in Years 3-6 have the opportunity to become elected members of our Student Representative Council. Each grade has two students that join the committee, delving into the organisation of fundraisers and sharing ideas that benefit the school.
All leadership roles within the school are seen as extremely important in allowing the students to have Voice and Agency in relation to school operations.
As of 2024, not only do the official Year 6 Student Leaders of Gladstone Park Primary School participate in leadership training, but the whole Year 6 cohort take part in the ASPIRE Higher Leadership Program.  It is here that they learn about everyday leadership and the importance of the influence of a leader. Guest speakers present information to motivate and guide Gladstone Park’s young leaders to dream big and succeed in the tasks that they put their mind to.
