Student Leadership Team

Established in 1997, the SLT has become an integral part of Lumen Christi College life and culture. Students appointed to the SLT, work in in cooperation with staff support members to find positive ways of enhancing leadership, initiative and responsibility among the total student body. This process takes places annually.

The SLT operates on the basis of mutual respect, justice and personal accountability. By upholding the values of the school SLT members lead by example, assisting the Principal and College staff in their educational objectives. They engage in a variety of practical tasks to support academic and social activities including those which generate additional funds for the College and the wider community.

Regular meetings, usually after school on Mondays, take place throughout the year. Here leadership activities take place alongside the discussion and planning required to execute and debrief activities.   The SLT camp and training days held towards the end of the year provide a wonderful learning and social occasion for Students Leaders.

Each member of the SLT belongs to one of the five sub-committees. In addition individuals may choose to be part of the Assembly Committee or support the work of the College Liturgy Team.  Through the work of these committees students learn new skills as well as being able to develop existing ones.
