Student leaders are role models for our student community at Flinders. Our leaders learn how to step into their important role to guide their fellow students with kindness, consideration and encouragement.
Our leaders uphold our College values of compassion, courage, integrity and respect. These values are important for our Flinders graduates as they strive to build a successful future with positive relationships in their life and career beyond the College gates.
There are many opportunities to lead at Flinders, whether as College Captains across the Sub-Schools and Primary and Secondary campuses, House Captains, Student and Staff Council Representatives, Round Square Ambassadors and Co-Curricular Captains, including Music and Sport Captains.
Our College also encourages students to lead in terms of their 'personal brand' and to lead within their families, friendships groups and communities. Students learn that leadership does not always come with an official honour or badge; it is the way we lead our own lives by making positive and kind choices in learning and life that enables us all to succeed.

What is your goal as a College Captain this year?
This year, I aim to lend support for students of all ages to improve their schooling and college social experience. I want to encourage an inclusive community where students feel comfortable around each other, and foster a sense of belonging and appreciation within the College.
We are all here to get a good education, but school is also about developing as a person and building genuine connections with others. I aim to provide guidance for the younger students as they embark on their schooling journeys and mentorship all the way through to those who reach their final years at Flinders.
I look forward to these challenges and the rewards that come with helping my fellow students.

What is the most exciting thing about being a school captain?
I'm excited by the opportunity to connect with a diverse range of people within the Flinders community. I look forward to meeting students, teachers and staff to hear their stories and take on their feedback. It’s a privilege to collaborate with different groups, strengthen school spirit and advocate for positive change. I am excited to lead by example and contribute to making our school an even better place.
What one thing do you want to achieve for your school this year?
This year, I hope to encourage an atmosphere in which students feel empowered to share their ideas and voice their concerns in order to feel appropriately represented. I aim to achieve this by organising student-led initiatives and creating opportunities for open discussion to ensure that student perspectives play a key role in decision-making.
