LEADERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
LEADERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
THE SIXTH FORM
All students at Sevenoaks School exhibit leadership potential , and there are countless opportunities for students to develop these skills over their two years in the Sixth Form . We consider all Sixth Form students to be ambassadors for the school , in their behaviour , dress , and attitude , and as such we invite all Lower Sixth students to be Prefects .
This role is crucial for the school , as the Prefects carry out vital and responsible roles each week to assist in the management of other students around the campus . Prefect roles include the supervision of younger years during lunch and breaktime , while consistently setting a good example to these younger years .
These opportunities are open to all within the Sixth Form , whether new to the school or not , to ensure a representative mix of individuals leading the student body . Many Sixth Form students lead clubs and societies , while others create social entrepreneurship projects or initiatives based on serving the community .
If you enjoy discussion and representing the views of your year group , there is the Sixth Form Committee , or if you prefer the management of your peers , there are Senior Prefect roles . We also have committees for sports , boarders , EDI , the environment and of course , food .
All Lower Sixth undergo training to be a mentor , and can choose to help younger years with their concerns as Peer Mentors , or support them with their academic progress as Academic or Learning Support Mentors . Or perhaps your strengths lie with coaching sport , or writing , directing and producing plays . The opportunities are there for you , and it is your decision as to which you would like to pursue .
