Middle School Leaders

Middle School is a particular part of schooling which doesn't offer you as many leadership roles or beneficial ways to take charge. But as many Grade 8's transition to Year 9 in 2018 I highly recommend that you go for the role of 'Middle School Leader'.

Hi Everyone, my name is Abbey Cook and I am one of the Chanel Middle School Leaders for 2017, and it is a role which I feel extremely privileged to have. In Year 9, each semester you get the opportunity to send in a message to the Saint Brigid's Office explaining why you would love to be a Brigidine Middle School Leader. There is then a voting system where you are able to pick, in your house groups, who you would like to be The Middle School Leaders of your house. It is a role which enables you to help out the coordinators of your house and more importantly get to know the younger students of the school. It is always a lot of fun, especially because it gives so many girls the opportunity to learn leadership values as they prepare for the senior school. This role is swapped each term for each house, giving many girls the opportunity to step up to the role. Not only do I want to inform you to go for this incredible schooling role, but I want you to know that The Middle School Leaders of your house are here to help you! Whether you're having a bad day or just need someone to talk, to we are happy to help! It is understandable that talking to the older students may be out of your comfort zones, but hopefully you knowing that the Middle School Leaders are there, who are closer to your age and will make it easier to chat to someone! I honestly can't recommend this role any higher! It has already given me so many opportunities to get involved and have a totally new outlook on school. It supplies opportunities in the form of excursions and meetings to chat and discuss ideas with your fellow leaders. I truly hope that you will consider going for the role of Middle School Leader as it is an experience which you won't regret and you get to have so much fun with! Don't be afraid to come and chat or say hi to your Middle School Leaders when you see us, because we would love to get to know you all.
