Mooroolbark Leadership
At Mooroolbark College, we foster a culture that encourages young people to discover their leadership potential and develop the skills to become the creators of positive change. Formal and informal leadership opportunities are offered to students in Year 7 – 12.
The college promotes leadership in many areas, including community service, peer mentoring, sport and performing arts. Participation in student leadership is encouraged in order to promote student voice and enable participation in the college decision-making processes.
Leadership within the homegroup system plays a major role for students across all year levels. Our “buddy” program allows students to take on leadership roles in each group, mentoring and supporting younger students. Our College structure means that a wide variety of leadership portfolios exist across all year levels. Student leaders are inducted, trained and continuously supported by a Leading Teacher and the Principal.
