A key emphasis of Rise Up at Hedland Senior High School is to increase the opportunities for growth and development within the Student Leadership Team. 2023 has a cohort of 36 students from Year 7 to 12, a significant increase in numbers from 2022.
To support Year 7 leaders to grow and develop, the program has developed a portfolio structure aligned to the foci areas of Arts and Humanities, Culture and Harmony, Diversity and Inclusion, Environment and Sustainability, Sport and the Community and STEM and Innovation.
The Year 8 to 12 student leaders are undertaking a 10-week leadership development program called G.R.I.T (Growth – Resilience – Integrity – Traction) that aims to cultivate students towards a growth mindset to enable them to learn to embrace challenges, persist in the face of setbacks, see effort as a path to mastery, learn from criticism and to find lessons and inspiration in the success of others.
