The Queensland Future School Leaders Program offers Year 5 students a unique opportunity to develop essential leadership, communication and teamwork skills.
Aligned with the Civics and Citizenship curriculum and completed during class time in Term 4, this facilitated program enables participants to collaborate online with peers from across the Asia-Pacific region. Together, participants will navigate and positively respond to the challenges experienced by our rapidly changing and diverse societies.
Through this program, participants not only enhance their self-awareness, analytical, creative-thinking and leadership abilities; they also develop the global competence and intercultural understanding needed to form meaningful relationships in an increasingly interconnected world.
