Servant Leadership is the model of leadership we espouse at Roncalli College. This means helping others to become the best they can be. Servant Leadership is not thinking less of yourself, it’s thinking of yourself less often.
The leadership programme is designed to extend students and challenge them to be the best young person they can be. The programme is designed to build upon itself and give students the opportunities to use the skills we teach them during their time at Roncalli.
The programme is underpinned with core Gospel values of where humility and integrity are integral to the development of the Roncalli Leader. Students should have an understanding of servant leadership where ethical decisions are promoted and encouraged.
The programme will be designed to give all students an opportunity to develop as leaders and give leadership opportunity in the Roncalli community.
