Student Government
Cumberland students are encouraged to develop leadership skills in various ways. Student leadership roles include the Prefect System, peer support program, and student representative council. The school also provides a comprehensive welfare program focusing on peer support/mentoring and conflict resolution, anti-bullying and anti-racism, which relies heavily on student involvement in running workshops for the rest of the student body.
