Student Leadership
At Oaklands, each year we have a refresh of the Student leadership Team. This year was the third iteration of the current model.
Before I joined Oaklands Catholic School, I had never experienced an environment where students took direct responsibility and involvement in planning events, alongside staff. This always perplexed me because how can we, the main participants in education, not be involved in these processes? I was delighted, therefore, when I heard about the existence and influence of the Student Leadership Team here at Oaklands.
The engagement of the Student Leaders shows how much the school and Sixth Form staff encourage us to use our voices and embody the collective message, ‘Community Unity Opportunity’. Although I started my role as Student President not too long ago, myself and the team already have several exciting plans. With the help of my Vice President, Emily Bray, our incredible Student Leadership Team, including Ashley Song, Jeffrey Mamman (Charism Team Leaders), Cerys Colley (Co-Curriculum Team Leader), Isobel Whyte (Pastoral Team Leader), Marvel Soyan and Sakura Cheragh (Curriculum Team Leaders), and Veeya Paul and Camille Nase (Secretaries), I look forward to an exciting list of events throughout the rest of this term and into next year.
