All students are encouraged to develop their leadership potential and to demonstrate the growing self-awareness, confidence and skills required to serve others.
Opportunities to lead peers occur formally and informally in the classroom, and through our co-curricular and service programs. Students are trained to understand the importance of responsibility and duty, and to demonstrate:
- a leadership mindset
- positive role modelling
- collaboration
- communication, negotiation, influencing and administration skills
- the ability to enable and inspire others.
At Essendon Keilor College, students are empowered to actively participate in the college decision-making processes through the Student Representative Council (SRC). Students offer opinions, raise concerns, discuss issues, review policies and practices, and influence outcomes that impact their learning and school experience. We value the improvements that result from this interaction in collaboration with the campus principals.
There is also student representation on the School Council.

Amelia Wright quote for Student Leadership
“ Most people would say that a student leader’s role is to lead a group of students.
That is only part of the role.
A student leader’s priority is to represent the voice of their peers by receiving feedback, and opinions from all parts of the student community allowing leaders to become open to many different perspectives and then raise awareness of these perspectives.
A student leader respects and values all the voices of our team to be a able to make a difference. “
“As student leaders, it is not enough to simply listen to a student’s voice, it is our job to receive, accept, and respect all the contributions of our fellow students,
Whether it be someone who wants to make a change,
Someone who looks up to the leadership team, and is inspired to become a leader,
Or a student that is always thinking of ways to improve our school,
You have a say.
Being a mouthpiece for our peers’ voices brings us together as one big team where everyone’s voice is heard and respected. United we can make a difference.
Everyone has a voice, and we ensure it is heard!”
