Developing Sixth Form Leaders

Wellington Sixth Form Student Leadership Team leads, inspires and mentors the student body.  

Student Leaders undertake a selection process which sees them apply in writing and by interview for the roles.

The team undergo training for their roles, and have regular meetings with the Head, Head of Sixth Form and Deputy Head Pastoral to support them and develop their leadership skills.

Roles include House Captains organising weekly House Meetings and events, instilling House spirit and a ‘can do’ attitude in their Houses, and having a wide spread presence throughout the School at breaktimes and lunchtimes, to support and role model Wellington’s core values to younger students.

Leaders of Sports and Societies are also selected and these roles form opportunities to lead for students with specific areas of interest.  Recently our Charities Captain garnered support from all areas of the School to support a world record attempt to produce the largest number of ready meals ever for the community.

Sixth Form Committee

The Sixth Form Committee exists to represent the Sixth Form in all matters that are relevant to them.

This can cover anything from requests and suggestions for changes to the Sixth Form Centre, to discussion of rules or guidelines and organising social events.

The Chair of Sixth Form Committee is elected by student vote at a popular ‘hustings’ after which a Committee of representatives is chosen. These include a social secretary, treasurer and secretary.
