STATE SCHOOL P-10 -STUDENT LEADERSHIP
Each year two “School Captains” (Year 10) and
two “Vice-Captains” (Year 6) are elected from the student body by the school
community. To be a school captain or vice-captain at Goomeri is a prestigious position
within our school community. As a school captain / vice-captain you not only
represent your fellow students but you also represent the school’s values in
the wider community.
School Captains and Vice-Captains must
demonstrate a commitment to the rules that our school believes are important
and accept the responsibilities that come with the role. They must be good ambassadors
for the school including: speaking on behalf of fellow students, welcoming
visitors to our school and representing our school at functions such as ANZAC
Day. School Captains and Vice-Captains must be committed to working as a team
with the Student Council, ensuring that meetings are held regularly, that
fundraising initiatives are planned and implemented and that regular meetings
with the Principal are organised to discuss ideas and issues.
Two “House Captains” (Year 10) and two “Vice
House Captains” (Year 7) are also elected each year. The
role of House Captains and Vice-Captains are to: be a good role model who is
willing to actively participate in all major school sporting events i.e.,
Swimming Carnival, Cross Country, Athletics Carnival, to provide
student leadership in all school sporting activities, encourage
other students to participate in all school sporting activities, to display
exemplary sportsmanship qualities at all times, foster team spirit and to assist
with setting up and cleaning up after carnivals.
School Captains, School Vice-Captains, House
Captains and House Vice-Captains form part of the “Student Council”. Two class
representatives from Years 4 to 10 are also elected to complete this group. A
treasurer is elected by the council from its Year 10 members.
