At Willaura Primary School we believe developing leadership skills is essential for all students. Younger students are inspired and learn from older students as they lead assemblies, speak in public, greet and thank guests and perform in public. Students prepare speeches and present these to the school to stand for various leadership positions including School Captains, House Captains and Bus Captains.
The Junior School Council is an opportunity for the students of our school to have a say and to learn about meeting procedure, democratic decision-making, organisation, team work and communication. Students may raise issues of concern, plan school events, suggest new initiatives and solve problems. Student leaders organise and lead weekly assemblies on a rotational basis.
