Kelso High Campus fosters the leadership development of our students through participation in the Student Council, the Senior Student Leadership Team, including the Captains, the Aboriginal Representative Council and House Captains.
2026 Year 12 Student Leadership Team
Coordinating teacher: Mr Michael Sloan
The Kelso High Campus Captains for 2026 are Eli Corkery, Lenard McDaid, Erin Thomas and Lacey Sharwood.
The Senior Student Leadership Team comprises the Captains, who have been elected by the staff and students to this position, as well as some Year 11 students. The team is involved in many activities within the campus and Bathurst Community. They prepare for their duties by participating in training which concentrates on team building and developing leadership skills.
Students are encouraged to experience different roles within the campus by leading school assemblies, running the Remembrance Day ceremony, and participating in awards presentation assemblies and Presentation Night. They also welcome prospective familes to information evenings, conducting school tours.
Some other events that students will be involved in during the year include: ANZAC Day, Lion’s Youth of the Year Program, the Yeoman Bedell at CSU, Year 6 to 7 Orientation Nights, the High Achievers Reception, presentations at our feeder primary schools, visiting Government House in Sydney, Mayoral Receptions for visiting dignitaries to Bathurst and meeting visiting dignitaries at the school.
Throughout their time on the Leadership Team, students have opportunities to develop their leadership, presentation and communication skills through regular team meetings and activities, meeting and greeting, public speaking, and participating in other activities.
Student Council
Coordinating teacher: Mr Michael Sloan
The Student Council (SRC) is comprised of the students on the senior leadereship teams, members of the Aboriginal Rerpesentative Council, House Captains, and junior students who have been elected by their peers. The purpose of the Student Council is to represent the views of the student body within the school to the executive, the staff, the parents and the wider community and to allow an avenue for them to discuss issues relating to students.
The Student Council, through its committee structure, attempts to develop projects and activities that satisfy the needs of the student body and contribute to the development of a positive school environment. Through these activities the council promotes student leadership, develops communication skills and raises school pride and spirit. Their regular activities include formal meetings, workshops and discussions with other representative groups. Participation is not limited to those elected representatives. All students can contribute by being active members of the wider school community, listening and contributing in their roll groups and supporting their council representatives.
