Leading

Catholic Education South Australia’s Living, Learning, Leading framework affirms that every child is and will be a leader for the world God desires.

At McAuley, we recognize leadership as the leading of ourselves and others to have an impact on the community.

‘We should be shining lamps, giving light to all around us’, Catherine McAuley.

Acknowledging that skills and capabilities mean something different for all of us and your child.  Leadership opportunities begin in Year 3 with the opportunity to be a ‘Buddy’ to a Reception student mentoring in shared experiences.

In Year 5, students can volunteer to be a Mini Vinnies leader supporting our local chapter of St Vincent de Paul.  Some students continue this leadership into Year 6.

Leadership opportunities in Year 6 offer the diversity of six options: 

  • School
  • Mercy
  • Eco
  • Sport
  • The Arts
  • Mini Vinnies

In Term 4 of Year 5, students are encouraged to consider a leadership role and supported by their teacher and specialist teachers, begin their application.
