The Student Leadership Program at Diamond Creek Primary School involves experiences which develop leadership qualities by encouraging students to:

 

  • Act in roles of responsibility with integrity and honesty with the school values of Persistence, (striving for) Excellence, Respect and Cooperation underpinning each decision and action
  • Develop a sense of vision and purpose
  • Work with others as part of a team to determine and achieve collective goals
  • Take on responsibilities and use decision-making skills in order to carry a project / task through to a successful  completion
  • Be active, reflective listeners who respond effectively
