Student Leadership at Les Quennevais School
Leadership is the art of motivating, influencing, and guiding people so they work together to achieve shared goals. At Les Quennevais School, we believe in empowering our students to become confident, responsible leaders.
Our wide range of leadership opportunities allows students to make a real difference within the school and the wider community, while developing essential skills for life beyond the classroom. These experiences help students build strong relationships within teams, define identities, and accomplish tasks effectively. They also teach valuable lessons in communication, interpersonal skills, and the importance of compassion in every interaction.
Our leadership journey begins with understanding and living by our core values: Ambition, Resilience, and Respect. These values represent the principles we hold dear and strive to uphold every day. We believe that every member of our school community has the potential to lead in different contexts—and the more leadership is encouraged, the more it thrives.
Student leaders take the lead in organising fundraising initiatives and charity events, supporting causes that matter and promoting a culture of giving and compassion, namely our local community fundraiser providing hampers to St Brelade’s parishioners. They also play an active role in planning and running sporting events and awards ceremonies, celebrating achievement and fostering school spirit with optimism and enthusiasm.
Leadership opportunities include participating in staff interviews, providing feedback on teaching and learning, and contributing ideas to improve our school systems. These roles ensure that student voices are heard and valued in shaping the school experience, while encouraging independence and responsibility.
Through involvement in projects such as the Duke of Edinburgh programme, school environment initiatives, and event planning, students develop resilience, respect, and ambition—key qualities that strengthen their CVs and prepare them for future success.
Student leaders deliver assemblies, join health and safety committees, and lead anti-bullying campaigns, helping to create a safe, inclusive environment for everyone, built on compassion and respect.
At Les Quennevais, student leadership is more than a title—it’s an opportunity to grow, inspire, and make a lasting impact.
