Students who are passionate about bringing communities together in order to effect positive change drive this group. Students have opportunities to develop strong communication and interpersonal skills through community networking, developing community partnerships and community event organising. This student group works together to harness the full potential of our school’s fabulous cultural and ethnic diversity promoting our school and British values.

Students in this group are interested in working to support our school community to strengthen the support and provision for mental health and wellbeing.  Members will help to raise awareness of ways to promote positive mental health and wellbeing, help to organise mental health and wellbeing events, develop their knowledge and skills in relation to mental health, emotional fitness and wellbeing and take part in peer support activities.  The experience gained through working in this group will help students to be able to influence positive change and support for mental health and wellbeing as young adults. The group will assist in the school’s progress towards the Carnegie School Mental Health Award.

In a rapidly changing world, our school community needs to harness the voice and actions of students who have a strong desire to protect and improve our school, local community and global environment.  Through this leadership group, students will work together to consider ways that our school community can become more environmentally friendly and take action to achieve this.  Students will be a part of the Eco-Group lead by Miss Johnson and Miss Turner and will raise awareness of Eco-Group activities.  Students look to create community partnerships that can support a more environmentally sustainable future.

Students working in this leadership group work together to drive forward the school’s support for local, national and global charities.  With a strong sense of purpose to connect with our current and new charity partners, students will raise awareness in the school and local community of their good causes and fundraising efforts.  The group will help to organise and run charity and fundraising events throughout the year and promote opportunities for charitable volunteering.

This year we are looking for committed student leaders to help raise awareness of the work and activities that student leaders, across all action groups, undertake.  Successful applicants will work together to strengthen community awareness of our student leadership actions.  This will be done through appropriate advertising via social media, the school’s website, in-school promotions and a new, termly, Student Leadership Programme bulletin/newspaper.

Students with good media skills and an interest in reporting/journalism would be well suited to this role.

This is a new student leadership group with the purpose of supporting the school to improve the wider student experience at Crossley Heath.  Successful applicants will work closely with the school’s leaders to provide student voice on key matters relating to student experiences such as trips and visits and extra-curricular opportunities.

Students who have an interest in opportunities outside the classroom, who are able to think creatively and are willing to learn about the running of a large organisation can do well in this role.
