and motivate students to be active leaders in their school.

TAKE THE LEAD

Embarking on an inspiring leadership journey through high school

Take the Lead empowers students in early high school with the idea that their leadership journey begins now. Through a series of team based activities that build strong relationships and a positive group dynamic, students will explore the fundamentals of leadership and how they can be used to maximise their high school experience. Students will recognise that every leader has their own unique passions, strengths and abilities; and has discovered a way to use them to create a positive difference in the world. Students will be inspired to step out of their comfort zone, aim high and confidently embark on their own leadership journey. This program will:

  • Develop positive group dynamic through a series of team based activities that challenge students to work cooperatively.
  • Encourage students to reflect on their personal strengths and gain confidence in their ability to lead.
  • Challenge students with the notion of creating a legacy by positively influencing others.

Leadershift develops confident, resilient, positive leaders in the middle high school years.

Through a series of fun and energetic games, students will identify the specific actions they can take to strengthen their leadership influence at school and in the community, whilst hearing inspiring stories of young people who have led positive change in their world. The experience also focuses on building strong relationships within the cohort and explores positive group behaviour.  Leadershift will:

  • Identify five specific practical actions that every student can utilise to have positive influence.
