Student Action Teams
the school student leadership is made up of four school captains and a prefect team who are involved in the day-to-day running of school life. The Student Action Teams (SAT) are students from years 7 to 11 who sit on school committees e.g. Positive Behaviour School (PBS) and support the school in making decisions around school issues. These positions undergo an application process and interview. The SAT is integral to student voice in our school. -
