Junior Leadership Training Day

Our newly elected Junior Student Leaders took part in an inspiring Leadership Training Day led by our 2025/2026 Senior Student Leadership Team. The day was designed to equip our incoming leaders with essential skills through engaging workshops, hands-on activities and peer-led discussions.

Throughout the day, our Junior Student Leaders explored key leadership themes; teamwork and team building, active listening and empathy, communication skills, achieving balance and the practical side to leadership.

Our Senior Leaders guided each session with enthusiasm and insight, fostering a supportive environment where our Junior Student Leaders could grow and connect. The day ended with reflections, goal-setting and planning the year ahead, leaving participants energised and ready to lead.

We’re proud of both our senior mentors and junior participants for making the day a resounding success!

Reflections from our Year 11 2026 Student Leaders

We took part in the Junior Student Leadership Training Day in preparation for our leadership roles in 2026. The Senior Student Leadership Team ran workshops that strengthened our teamwork, communication and active listening skills, and introduced us to the practical aspects of leading with purpose. Hands-on activities and peer discussions encouraged us to step outside our comfort zones and reflect on the type of leaders we hope to become.

Our Senior Leaders were inspiring role models, demonstrating Ursuline values through insightful sessions, activities and shared experiences. We explored our school values, ACCEPT, RESPECT, UNITE, ACT, EMPOWER and SERVE, and considered how to put them into action within our committees.

The day reminded us that, as Ursuline women, we are called to serve our faith, community and school with confidence and compassion. We are grateful to belong to a community where women uplift one another and build a foundation of inclusion. Overall, the training day was motivating and meaningful, equipping us with the skills and values we need as we step into our 2026 leadership roles.
