Junior School Leaders
Junior School Award System acknowledges, tracks and rewards students’ good conduct. Actions and character traits that reflect the College ethos and values are encouraged.
- Accepting responsibility for one’s own actions
- Showing respect for others
- Displaying care and compassion
Upper primary students engage in hands-on leadership practice in the PALS and CHUMS programs. Year 6 PALS lead activities and initiate play and learning opportunities for younger students while CHUMS are buddies who give younger students a caring older ‘brother’ or ‘sister’. Both opportunities include formal leadership training at Year 6 camp.
There are several formal Junior School leadership positions, including male and female captains, vice captains and house captains.
Middle School Leaders
The Middle School leadership program encourages critical and creative thinking, effective communication, collaboration and team work and development of personal and social skills with stimulating opportunities in Years 8 and 9. Leadership groups for chapel, communications, culture, missions, sport and community are driven by student energy and initiative under the mentorship of a teacher.
Senior Leaders
At Northside, we serve each other to build a healthy community. This is not up to one person, or a select group of people. It is the responsibility of all of us. Senior students in leadership positions demonstrate qualities that reflect the values and ethos of the College:
- Christian faith in action: loving and serving others
- Commitment to learning and embracing opportunities
- Spirit of excellence by doing their best
- Character through faith that demonstrates qualities of honesty, courage, resilience, humility, respect and responsibility
- Community focus: caring for others within and outside our community
While all Senior School students are considered leaders within the College, formal leadership positions include a female and male captain, seven vice captains, and numerous prefects.
All Senior students belong to leadership groups and contribute to their group’s activities. Vice captains and prefects oversee the groups.
