Student Leadership
The students are involved in electing their student leaders every year.
A nomination from the student or from their peers are verified by the staff. Then students vote 20 Student Council members, 10 from Year 10 and 10 from Year 11 to become the next years Student Council.
The College Captain and the three Vice Captains are only elected after the new Year 12 Student Councillors are elected from the Year 11 group. They undergo a similar process, students from the Year 12 Student Council nominate themselves or are nominated by their peers. The Year 10 and 11 Students vote on the Senior Student Leaders nominations and the top three for each portfolio have interviews with the Executive and Senior Staff to decide who becomes the next: College Captain, Vice Captain - Arts, Vice Captain - Ministry and Vice Captain - Sports.

Famous quotes containing the words student and/or leadership:
“Many a poor sore-eyed student that I have heard of would grow faster, both intellectually and physically, if, instead of sitting up so very late, he honestly slumbered a fool’s allowance.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“This I do know and can say to you: Our country is in more danger now than at any time since the Declaration of Independence. We don’t dare follow the Lindberghs, Wheelers and Nyes, casting suspicion, sowing discord around the leadership of Franklin D. Roosevelt. We don’t want revolution among ourselves.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
