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.
