SUMMERWOOD LEARNER LEADERSHIP
A UNIQUE APPROACH TO LEADERSHIP
Four core leaders serve Summerwood Primary School. They are ably assisted by the house captains of the Dolphins, Orcas and Stingrays.
LEARNER LEADERS
Summerwood Primary School has returned to the concept of having only four core learner leaders since 2022. House captains and monitors will fulfill different roles. The learner leaders are nominated by the learners. They will be expected to be role models to all the learners in the Summerwood family. These four leaders are used at functions and special occasions such as welcoming the new learners to the school in 2022. They also lead some assemblies. Each learner leader is a mentor for a Grade 1-class in 2023.
"The challenge of leadership is to be strong, but not rude; be kind, but not weak; be bold, but not bully; be thoughtful, but not lazy; be humble, but not timid; be proud, but not arrogant; have humour, but without foolishness.
Jim Rohn - American Entrepreneur
HOUSE CAPTAINS
The House Captains are elected by the learners and deployed on merit. The House Captains of the Dolphins, Orcas and Stingrays support the learner leaders in their tasks. The House Captains are responsible for social affairs at Inter-House Meetings like the Inter-House Athletics Meeting and the Inter-House Swimming Gala. They also host some school assemblies. Furthermore; they assist at important school events. The House Captains ensure that there is a spirit of Unity on House Days. They take initiative to arrange events on their own, with the guidance of House Masters.
