About the program:

Do you have senior students who show leadership interest and potential? Send them to our Senior Leadership Program 2025.

This hugely successful day introduces students to guest speakers who embody resilience, innovation and leadership. Students are given the opportunity to consider their role in their schools and communities and how they can use these lessons to model true leadership.
Senior Leadership is a hugely popular day welcoming student leaders from all over NSW. It is a rare opportunity to meet fellow students, learn from one another and take these valuable experiences back to your school.

This day is kindly donated by Michael and Linda Jaku, offering leaders the opportunity to participate free of charge.

THE 2025 PROGRAM IS NOW FULLY BOOKED. We look forward to welcoming you to the 2026 Senior Leadership Program.
