Leadership

STUDENT LEADERSHIP

Student inclusion, involvement and leadership are central to the success of students at LBTS and we encourage all students to have a voice and take ownership of their school experience.

There are many opportunities provided for our students to take leadership roles and the focus of these is always to have an authentic voice that helps to improve the school experience for their peers, including shaping school policy and practice. 

Please see the following table  for some of our key leadership opportunities at LBTS.
