A key pillar of our program is the L.E.A.D. Program (Leading, Educating, Aspiring to make a Difference). Elected student leaders are invited to participate in fortnightly 30-minute leadership workshops designed to intentionally grow their confidence, character and capability. These workshops provide a safe and supportive environment where students reflect on their strengths, set meaningful goals, and strengthen their leadership identity. Highlights include developing common goals and clear success steps, practising courageous conversations, learning how to amplify student voice constructively, building initiative through team challenges, and exploring how leadership behaviours align with our school values. The focus is not just on holding a position, but on building the mindset and skillset to positively influence others.
Our leaders are guided by our Mission to provide high-quality learning experiences that prepare students for life beyond school. They engage in authentic decision-making, mentor peers, collaborate with staff and community partners, and contribute to shaping a culture where every student feels seen, heard and valued.
Underpinning everything is our Student Leaders' Agreement - a shared commitment to uphold our school values of Respect, Integrity, Diversity and Unity. As leaders, students commit to listening without interrupting and valuing different opinions; taking responsibility for their actions and standing by their values; actively including others and ensuring all voices are heard; and working cooperatively to create safe, positive environments where everyone feels valued. These agreed behaviours guide how our leaders act in classrooms, on the sporting field, at community events and in everyday interactions.
Leadership at RPSHS is inclusive and developmental, supporting students from Years 7–12 to grow in confidence, character and capability, regardless of their starting point.
By nurturing leadership capacity across all year levels, we are not only strengthening our school culture but are developing future-ready young people who will positively impact their communities long after they graduate.
