Student Leadership

Our student leadership team mirrors the staffing structure of the academy so that every faculty, hub and student is represented from Years 7-10.

Student leaders are chosen through a whole-school election that involves applications, campaigning, assembly presentations and a final day of voting.

The Student Leadership Team is open to any member of the student body. Through our student leadership team, every student has a voice in the running of the Academy, and a chance to bring about positive change. The aim of the team is to make a positive impact on our community at the local, national and global level.
