Leadership

 

Now that the Year 6’s are the heads of the Primary School, they have had to learn about leadership and what it is to be a leader. They took part in different activities during the Skills Programme we held. The end goal was for the students to apply to become Year 6 Prefects. They went through the process of discussing what a leader was, what a leader looks and sounds like and why they would want to be leaders for BIS.

Here are a few things the Year 6’s decided make a good leader:

“A leader is someone that has responsibility and is helpful and is respectful towards others. They always try their best and they think about others first.” – Emily Fouché

“A leader is someone who can help you with things you are struggling with and will guide you to do the right thing” – Maalik Daniels

“A leader is a person who is helpful, respectful, kind and caring. They help people when they need help.” – Nicolas East

The process the Year 6’s had to follow to apply to be prefects was as follows:

• Fill in an application form.
• Get 3 references from teachers of their choosing.
• Present in front of the other Year 6’s as to why they would make a good prefect.
• Vote for who they thought would make good prefects.

We know that the elected leaders will do a wonderful job this year!

“As we look ahead into the next century, leaders will be those who empower others.” – Bill Gates
