At St Scholastica’s College there are many opportunities to acquire leadership experience.  Some are formal where individual students are elected and some are simply grasped by students who see a need on campus. The nature of authentic leadership means it is an experience open to all students each day in a variety of situations.

 

The College elects two Co-Captains for the role of College Captains and Boarding Captains each year.

​

Seven House Captains are elected from the HSC class - one from each Homeroom.

From Year 11 there are Faith in Action, Mission, Music, Drama and Enrichment Prefects and three Prefects in each House responsible for Hospitality, Stewardship and Participation.

​

A Junior Class Captain joins the senior student leaders to form the House Councils as the formal student voice structure in the College and to support the formulation of ideas and strategies from the student body.

Big Sister Program

Many Year 11s volunteer to undertake critically important leadership roles when they step up to take on continuing mentoring roles as part of the Big Sister Program for new-to-Schols Year 7 students, thus easing the Year 7s into the College.

 

These volunteers begin their training in Year 10 and continue as daily leaders, beginning when the new students are welcomed on Orientation Day.  The Big Sisters are part of the morning welcome program and also support some lunch activities for the Year 7s.
