Heritage High Student Leadership Programme
Heritage High School’s leadership programme introduces students to the principles of leadership whilst enabling them to work on the practicalities of what this means in a school. The programme builds the necessary skills, confidence and motivation to engage directly in the development of our students.
Effective student leadership will
- Recognise that students have logical perspectives and opinions on issues that matter in the classroom, in the school and wider communities.
- Give students an active role enabling them to influence decisions about issues as well as in the implementation of decisions.
- Enable students to participate as active young citizens.
There is much evidence to suggest that when students engage with student leadership programmes, they have a positive impact and their capacity for learning increases.
