List of 5 items.

• Prefectship

  Prefects

  The concept of servant leadership guides the student leadership model at RSGC. Students learn through experience that the best leaders put themselves at the service of others in order to improve the community in which they live and operate. Prefect candidates are asked , “Why do you want to be a prefect? What are you prepared to “give” to the school?
  
  What are your personal goals? How serious are you in following through on the responsibilities as outlined below?” They are encouraged to discuss these thoughts with parents, advisors and other teachers.

• Stewardship

  Stewards

  Stewards are individuals who demonstrate outstanding leadership and service within the school throughout the year. Stewards offer to partner with specific staff members to help organize and promote elements of interest to other students. Staff may also nominate stewards based on their observations of on-going, significant leadership.

• Junior School Captains

  The Junior School Leaders are Grade 8 students who are eager to lead and represent the Junior School student body. They act as role models and are expected to embody the Georgian motto ‘Scientia Pietate’. They serve the College in many ways including planning and delivering Thursday assemblies that often include skits, videos and school announcements; and helping to plan and organize events such as dances, Halloween activities, monthly food drives, Spirit Week and Georgians Have Talent. The Captains are also devoted House members involved in promoting House spirit through House activities.

  We believe that leadership can be fostered in every boy and it is most effective when encouraged by his peers. These leaders are invested in creating opportunities for their peers to be involved in school life and to take a leadership role in areas in which they show a passion and talent. They learn that leadership works best when shared.

• Outdoor Education Leaders

  Outdoor Education Leaders

  Throughout the year, there are many opportunities for Senior School students to act as leaders on Outdoor Education trips. The core roles, duties and responsibilities of a student leader include supervision, assisting camp instructors and teachers, leading by example and helping to transfer the camp experience back to the school community.  RSGC Outdoor Education student leaders act as role models of true Georgian qualities. Students who are interested in this type of leadership position have the opportunity to attend a leadership retreat in the spring. The goal of the retreat is to prepare these student leaders with the skills they will need to become mentors at RSGC in the coming school year.
