SRC Masterclass

Episode 9: Student Leadership

In this episode, we focus on empowering students through leadership opportunities. The discussion explores how SRCs can nurture diverse leadership skills, dismantle traditional notions of leadership, and promote inclusivity in student representation.

Takeaway message

Leadership isn’t about titles or popularity—it’s about inspiring others and making a positive impact. SRCs have the potential to be a transformative platform for students, helping them build resilience, confidence, and essential skills for life.

By broadening participation and fostering inclusivity, schools can create environments where all students feel empowered to lead and contribute meaningfully to their communities.

Your homework (optional)

• Consider how to provide leadership opportunities to a more diverse range of students, including those who may not fit the traditional leadership model.
• Explore ways to build protective factors like connection, resilience, and a sense of belonging through the work of the SRC.
• Involve SRC students in understanding the importance of these protective factors and how the SRC activities can help develop them.
