Student Leadership

We are a diverse community with the freedom and courage to challenge, to question and to think differently.

STUDENT LEADERSHIP

At Avonside Girls’ High School emphasis is placed on giving students as much opportunity to develop their leadership skills as possible. Opportunities exist at all levels for students to take a formal leadership role. Our main structure for leadership is through our council system. Councils involve junior and senior students and give students a chance to contribute to the life of the school. 

Some of the opportunities for the development of leadership skills are:

  • Student Executive – Senior student leaders led by the Head Girl meet regularly to discuss and plan events to contribute to the life of the school
  • Pou Leaders – Pou leaders lead their pou or house to create a family within the school and compete at school events.
  • School Council –Ako Class and Pou representatives attend regular meetings to discuss issues which are important to students.
