Pupil Leadership

The term pupil leadership refers to education principles and practices that reflect the importance of providing children with the opportunities and support to play a role in making the decisions that affect them. The principles of effective pupil leadership include:

• Recognising that pupils have logical perspectives and opinions on issues that matter in the classroom, in the school, and in the community.
• Giving pupils an active role in influencing decisions about these issues as well as in the implementation of these decisions.
• Enabling pupils to participate as active young citizens.
