This year, our Grade 5 and 6 students were given the exciting opportunity to step forward and take on the responsibility of becoming part of Finnway’s Student Leadership Group. We are delighted to announce the following students who bravely put themselves forward for this important role:

Grade 6: Nina, Troy, Nithan, Eva, Michael, Maxwell, Ivan
Grade 5: Sea, Aurelia, Alesia

We could not be prouder of these students for stepping out of their comfort zones and embracing this challenge.

Why Student Leadership Matters

At Finnway, we believe that student leadership is a vital part of school life. It allows young people to develop confidence, responsibility, and resilience while also giving them a voice in shaping their community. By taking on leadership roles, our students learn how to work collaboratively, make thoughtful decisions, and inspire their peers.

Our vision is to nurture “Confident kids who can take action in the world.” The Student Leadership Group is one of the many ways we bring this vision to life, providing students with opportunities to contribute positively to school life and to practise the skills that will serve them in the future.

Finnway’s Core Values in Action

The Student Leadership Group reflects the very heart of our school culture and the values we uphold:

• Resilience – learning to face challenges with strength and determination.
• Integrity – acting with honesty and fairness in all situations.
• Diversity – celebrating individuality and respecting differences.
• Compassion – showing kindness and understanding towards others.
• Sustainability – caring for the world around us and thinking about the future.

These values guide our students as they grow into role models for their peers. Leadership is not just about being in front, it is about serving others, listening, and helping to make our school community stronger.

Looking Ahead

Throughout the year, the Student Leadership Group will take part in projects that encourage collaboration, problem solving, and positive action. They will help represent student voices, support school events, and demonstrate the leadership qualities that embody the spirit of Finnway.

We look forward to seeing their journey unfold, and we know they will set an excellent example for others.
