Student Leadership

St Joseph’s aims to provide opportunities to develop and cultivate leadership qualities within all students. We aim to instil in students a strong sense of social justice through the service of others.

School Leaders

Students in Year 6 are our Senior School Leaders. The students are presented with their leader badges at the beginning of each year. 

The leaders perform a number of ceremonial roles on special occasions. They meet and liaise often with the Stage 3 teacher and principal. The leaders are responsible for setting a good example of being responsible, respectful and safe at all times.

They have responsibility for the care of sports equipment, maintaining house enthusiasm in sporting activities, representing the school at community functions – ANZAC Marches, local Bulahdelah Show, and Clean Up Australia Day - as well as school-based activities such as working bees.

The leaders see a major part of their role to be problem solvers and forward thinkers. The leaders run the Mission Day activities throughout the year and other social justice initiatives as they present.
