PROs for student leaders:
young, energetic, keen to have job/volunteer

Have to be super flexible and be prepared to provide lots of support and training.

Start student leaders off in low key activities and always under the direction of experienced instructors

Most important training for development for student leaders is hands on behaviour management role modelling

Always have person of rapport checking in

Choose leaders who are versatile as well as leaders who have passion and skill in specific areas:

we have 3 highly decorated dance students, 2 taekwondo enthusiasts, drama expertise and cultural connections as well as leaders who excel in sports and visual arts

look for a range of personalities

extroverts and introverts ... our kids respond to different personalities

extroverts and introverts ... our kids respond to different personalities

Budget for identifying staff shirts ... we did this the first year and it worked well
