S6 Leadership roll out programme.

Over the past two months senior pupils from KGS and SA have delivered a series of Leadership workshops to all S1 pupils in the 6 Schools of Ambition. Seniors from KGS rolled out their workshop to the North Isles and KGS S1’s, while seniors from SA delivered to the S1 in Stromness Ac.

KGS senior pupils involved were: Joni Craigie, Raema Campbell, Nabil Zoha, Hannah King, Alan Fortheringhame.

SA senior pupils involved were: Katherine Stockan, Callum Stevenson, Charlotte Slater, Donald Cowan.

Lesson Plan:

Senior pupils will work in pairs delivering a 50 min lesson to junior pupils across the 6 schools involved in Orkney Schools of Ambition. The lesson content has been developed as result of their own leadership training and whole school experiences.

Learning Intentions:

1. To make pupils aware that everyone, if they feel strongly enough about a topic/issue, they can become a leader of change and new learning.

2. To promote confidence in contributing solutions to an issue, knowing that all contributions will be treated with equal respect.

3. Learn to work together as a team and accept that other people’s ideas are, at times, better than their own.

4. Don’t allow others to run over your personal beliefs and values. You know the difference between right and wrong!
