Leadership programme At Hurlyvale Primary School, our Leadership policy is taken from the State’s policy of co-operative governance. Learners have the opportunity to develop leadership abilities in a myriad of ways. In Grade 6, learners have the opportunity to serve as Media Monitors, Scholar Patrol Monitors, Catering Monitors, Aviary Monitors or First Aid Monitors. |
|
In Grade 7, the learners are split into Auxiliary Monitors and General Monitors. Auxiliary monitors fulfil portfolios such as: Scholar Patrol Captains, Catering Captains, Audio-Visual monitors, First Aid Captains, Tuck Inn monitors and Computer monitors. Auxiliary monitors receive the necessary training to perform their duties (e.g.: First Aid captains attend basic first aid training course).
The General monitors are randomly split into 3 groups and serve for a term. These monitors rotate duties weekly.
Each group of Grade 7 monitors is treated to a leadership camp. They are given practical problems to solve, with reviews and discussions around basic Leadership principles.
This co-operative, participative approach to leadership has the dual benefits of inspiring the learners to become personally involved in maintaining and improving the ethos of the school; develop leadership skills, problem solving skills and social skills in a hands-on interactive way.
