Student leadership
At Beverford, the voice of all students - Prep to Year Six - is valued and actively promoted. As a school community we respect, believe in and encourage our learners to have input into learning, teaching and the decisions of our school. Providing opportunities for students to develop a sense of leadership, belonging and connection is integral to providing a learning environment that is engaging, challenging, relevant and significant.
Building the capacity of, and enabling and empowering students as leaders is fundamental to who we are as a school and our vision for our learners in the future. It is recognised that all students are, and have the capacity to be leaders and are encouraged to use their personal qualities to take on various roles to maximise their potential. Leadership roles are not defined by or limited to labelled positions of responsibility. The weekly whole school Buddy reading Program is an example of this.

The purpose of school captains at BDPS is to foster and develop formal leadership skills and to provide opportunities for students to take an active role within the school and wider community. They model and embody our school values and are representatives of our school and the BDPS student voice.
The purpose of our JSC is to build student agency so that the students collectively take initiative as global learners and leaders and they develop strong connections with peers, students and community members. In the process, they will develop their capacity as leaders and their sense of responsibility and commitment in making positive contributions to our local and global community. Junior School Council members provide a report at School Council meetings. The role of a Sports Captain is to represent our school at Sports Days and to encourage other students to participate positively in a range of different games and sports. They conduct speeches at Sports Days and create fun games for their peers to play in the yard and in P.E lessons.
