Student Leadership

SCHOOL CAPTAINS

School Captains represent the beliefs and values of Chelsea Primary School. They promote the school vision and these values for our community. The role involves leadership, mentoring and the maintenance of an achievable standard to which other students can aspire to. Duties include representing the school at community events, greeting visitors to the school, mentoring junior students and fellow leaders as well as organising and supporting school events. 

 

HOUSE CAPTAINS and VICE HOUSE CAPTAINS

School House Captains and Vice House Captains demonstrate a high level of leadership as well as presenting a high level of teamwork, motivation and sporting ability. Captains exercise responsibility when representing the school in sporting teams at the district, regional, and state levels.

House Captains maintain a high level of commitment throughout the year to promote sports events, encourage and motivate teams, and assist the PE Teacher and school staff with sports-related matters.

The House Captains encourage and motivate their House members. They assist the PE Teacher and school staff at all school sports events. Captains lead, motivate, and support their House in terms of participation, competitive spirit, and sportsmanship.

 

STUDENT VOICE & AGENCY
Chelsea Primary School promotes active student participation as a means to enhance student outcomes and engagement. Student participation ranges from students sharing their opinions on problems and potential solutions through Student Representative Councils and Student Voice Captains across years 2-6, where students provide feedback associated with school strategic planning. 

 

Students are encouraged to share their voice through:

  • school leadership positions such as school and house captains
  • representing their classes on the Student Representative Council or Peer Mentoring Action Team (Bullying Prevention Team)
  • taking weekly Monday Assembly that reinforces our school values
  • organising events within the school, e.g. student-led clubs, fundraising activities
  • class discussions and student feedback
