Student representation
Rasmussen has a student leadership program. Student leaders model expected behaviours, represent the school and have a say in the school operations. We have 2 forums for this school:
- School leaders (4)
- House captains (6)
The school community at the end of Year 5 elects these. The process for selection are based on characteristics, a public speech and may include an interview process, supported by teacher references. The students are informed of expected traits such as work habits, peer support, handling of responsibility, honesty, reliability, approachability, trust, and their impact in the role. We also have the election of class captains every term of the year for each class. These students also model the expected behaviours in all that they do. Each term we have a special parade to acknowledge the new class captains.
