Student Leadership
Student leadership is an essential part of school life at Williamstown High School. The leadership body is student focussed, energetic and led by our school captains at both the Pasco and Bayview Campuses.
Our Student Leadership Program is flexible and is adapted according to the needs of our ever changing student body. Our student leaders experience training to develop important leadership skills in public speaking, peer support, communicating and problem solving, all which will help them succeed in the school environment and beyond.
Our student leadership teams seek to:
- Highlight new and existing opportunities for student voice to foster a sense of ownership in the school.
- Increase student participation and engagement in the classroom and within the wider community.
- Renew focus on house competition to foster a sense of school pride and spirit.
