Leadership
Collingwood School Grade 11/12 Elected Leadership Positions
Overview of student leadership at Collingwood:
Leadership at Collingwood is more than a title. Collingwood strives to nurture leaders who have initiative, create opportunities, reinforce change and generate enthusiasm for their vision. Ideally, student leaders have the ability to inspire others to action and the motivation to contribute to their community in valuable and authentic ways. Leadership is increasingly infused in all aspects of Collingwood, from JK – 12, and the grade 11/12 elected leadership positions should be seen as both a learning opportunity and a summative leadership experience.
Our grade 11 and 12 elected leaders are adaptable, positive role models who do the following:
- Empower and motivate others
- Encourage a growth mindset and risk taking in self and others
- Uplift and encourage others to be open to new possibilities
- Listen actively, collaborate and communicate effectively
- Wears their uniform with pride
- Support the values and traditions of the Collingwood community
- Critically consider how to balance environmental, community, and global sustainability issues with school activities
- Must be in good standing with all academic and co-curricular activities in order to be able to balance their leadership duties with prior responsibilities
