Student leadership is an experience, which is highly valued by the whole school community. There is a defined school process for the election and selection of the School Captains and Vice Captains, House Captains and members of the Junior School Council (JSC). It explains the roles and responsibilities of the student leaders at Monmia.

Our Student Leadership Program:

• Provides opportunities for the development of student leadership skills
• Encourages school leaders to seek student voice and choice and liaise with school leadership
• Provides the model for leadership skills to inspire the whole school community
• Facilitate social and academic activities for students, including fundraising
• Enable school leaders to apply their leadership skills in real life contexts

School Leaders
School Leaders model the school values, demonstrate a high level of communication and social skills, take pride in the school and show respect to all school and community members.  They implement their roles with a sense of maturity and responsibility.

School Captains and Vice Captains

The School Captains and Vice Captains are responsible for representing the school at school and community events. The school supports these students in attending The Young Leaders Conference and the ANZAC Commemorative Ceremony for Students. 
School Captains are Year 6 students and are responsible for conducting school assemblies, welcoming special guests and thanking visiting performers. They raise and lower the school flag, Australian flag, Aboriginal flag and the Torres Strait Islander flag at the front of the school daily. School Captains liaise with the Principal and Year 5 and Year 6 Teaching and Learning Leader on various activities and issues. 

House Leaders

Monmia Primary School has Green, Blue, Red and Gold house leaders who are from Year 5 and 6. House Leaders plan and implement sporting activities during nominated weeks aligned to special events. They co organise the House Athletics with the PE teacher and champion their own house in the spirit of friendly competition. They have regular meetings to develop their leadership skills.

Junior School Councillors
Two students are selected from each grade in the Year 3-6 areas to represent the voice of the students in their own grade, as well as a grade from Year P-2 areas. Regular meetings are held to discuss fundraising events and school activities. In addition, the students present the ‘Student Awards’ at the fortnighlty whole school assembly.
