School Leadership Program

This pilot project is a partnership between Central Coast Community Council (CCCC) and The Benevolent Society. The Benevolent Society contracted CCCC to develop and deliver this program as part of The Entrance Community Engagement Project, funded through Community Services (NSW Government). Wyong Council also joined the project to develop and facilitate the program as the program aligned well with Council’s Youth Strategy.

The project was developed after discussions with one of the teachers at the college who identified a need for leadership development in the school due to the fact that there is no longer a senior school and the year 10 students, therefore, have no role models. The program has been written up for further development and implementation.

The subjects covered were; “Introduction”, “Who Am I ?”, What Gets me Going?”, “How Do I deal With Crap?”, Leader Me…Why Not?”.

There is enthusiasm to continue the program when funds become available.
