Holiday Leadership workshops



"So You Want To Be A Leader"


G.A.T.E.WAYS is delighted to invite Year 6 students to
 
"So You Want To Be A Leader" 

There is a need for leaders in every facet of society – from Fortune 500 companies to small business, from universities to primary schools, from government to a city council, and so much more. Studies have identified specific traits that transform non-leaders into leaders. Although adults have the capability to develop leadership skills, children are much more open to skill development and change. Extensive research including Barthold, 2014* discusses that leadership skill development in young children must be seriously considered in childhood education. Leadership is far too important for its teaching to be delayed until adulthood or even until the teenage years.

 "
So You Want To Be A Leader" Year 6: Series 1 will provide an opportunity for gifted and highly able students to engage in a range of challenging workshops which will develop skills in the following areas:
  • self-awareness
  • models of leadership
  • critical thinking
  • team building
  • communication
  • organisation
This is a parent enrolled program - parents enrol directly with G.A.T.E.WAYS via our website. There is no need for teachers to nominate students; however, we would greatly appreciate it if you could provide information about this program to any student with leadership potential or talent who you feel would benefit from the program.

Enrolment information is available here.
