When students reach Grade 6 they are each given the opportunity to apply for a leadership position. The Grade 6 leadership roles incorporate students’ interests and strengths. Some examples include, environmental leader, flag bearer, curious creatures, Art, PE and Music Leaders. As part of these leadership roles, Grade 6s may run lunchtime clubs, lead projects within their area for the whole school, and liaise with staff to create change and lead innovation.

Students may also apply to be one of our House Captains. Every fortnight our Houses meet across all year levels and participate in a range of activities. These experiences are designed by our House leaders in unison with our staff. We also have our yearly Swimming and Athletics carnival.

At Badger Creek Primary School, we nurture and provide our students with guidance and the resources to excel in their roles. Our School Captains and Vice Captains, represent Badger Creek Primary for many different occasions in the wider community, such as ANZAC Day, ceremonies and leadership days. Fortnightly, they create agendas and collate input, to run whole school assemblies.

These leadership opportunities and experiences are instrumental in nurturing well-rounded individuals who are learning valuable skills and qualities, such as communication, teamwork, respect, and compassion for each other and the wider community.
