New Leadership System
As of 2009, a new system of student leadership has been introduced at Bishops. All Matrics (grade 12s) are given the opportunity to run and manage one of about 20 portfolios in their respective houses. Committee meetings for each portfolio are organised during term and consist of 8 leaders (one from each house) and a teacher in charge. Leaders are appraised by themselves, staff and fellow tutees each quarter and awards are assigned to each leader as appropriate by a committee of housemasters. The system has already shown great potential and will be continued in the future.

Famous quotes containing the words leadership and/or system:
“A woman who occupies the same realm of thought with man, who can explore with him the depths of science, comprehend the steps of progress through the long past and prophesy those of the momentous future, must ever be surprised and aggravated with his assumptions of leadership and superiority, a superiority she never concedes, an authority she utterly repudiates.”
—Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
“Authority is the spiritual dimension of power because it depends upon faith in a system of meaning that decrees the necessity of the hierarchical order and so provides for the unity of imperative control.”
—Shoshana Zuboff (b. 1951)
