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

or talent who you feel would benefit from the program.
