Junior School leaders

Transcript:

Here at Holy Trinity Lutheran College, leadership opportunities for all students are encouraged with a range of formal roles to develop leadership skills.

Junior School Captains are elected from our Year 6 classes. They lead worship and assemblies, are involved in the Student Representative Council and represent our school at community events.

House Captains for each of our school houses are elected. House Captains help to organise and facilitate sporting events throughout the school year.

Students from Year 3 to Year 6 are elected to be their class representatives on the Student Representative Council. The SRC makes decisions about student-led fundraising, charity drives and organises student events throughout the year.

We have a Digital Technology Team that provides technical support for weekly assemblies and chapel, as well as other special events in the school calendar.

All Year 6 students are ‘buddies’ for our Foundation students. During Term 1 they play a big part in helping our new students become familiar and confident within the school environment. Throughout the year they continue to support their buddy in the classroom and playground, develop social relationships and model behaviour.

Extra-curricular activities play an important role alongside the academic program to develop our creativity and critical thinking skills outside the classroom.

The Junior School offers a variety of opportunities to broaden student’s experience, encourage passion, foster commitment and develop strengths and talents. Some of these programs include Chess Club, Choir, Garden Club, Holy Trinity Racing — human powered vehicles (HPV), instrumental music program, interschool sport, Lego Club, musicals and concerts, Robocup, school sport and Wakikiri.
