Student Leadership

Numurkah Secondary College has a strong student leadership program which encourages students to be involved from Year 7 through to Year 12.

School Captains

There are two school captains and two vice captains, each role consisting of a male and female student. School captains are required to demonstrate a commitment to the school and its values. They play a very important role within the leadership structure and represent the school and students at all assemblies and many external functions. A major responsibility of the captains is working with community members to plan and conduct the local ANZAC Day Ceremony, of which they are the masters of ceremony.

School Leaders

School leaders are selected from members of the senior school. Ten students are elected to this position. Amongst the important roles of the school leaders are; taking responsibility for a year level and assisting the Year Level Coordinator in managing the cohort, setting up for school assemblies and representing the College at official functions

House Captains

There are two Senior and two Junior House Captains for each of the Houses within the College House System. House captains are responsible for organising their houses during House events such as the swimming sports and school athletics carnivals.

Year 7 Home Group Captains

This role has year 7 students working closely with their Year Level Coordinator to assist in the transition into secondary College. The Year 7 Homegroup captain runs for a term at a time to allow a number of students the opportunity to undertake a leadership role.

SRC

The student representative Council is an integral part of the School’s decision making process, presenting student proposals to the School Administration, organising social events, and raising money for charities. Students from all year levels are eligible to be nominated for SRC.

Peer Leaders

Peer Leaders are selected from the middle school and are trained to develop the skills required to assist other students with a range of issues. They are an important point of contact for other students and work closely with the Student Welfare Coordinator.
