At St Matthias we work to help our students develop knowledge and understanding, a positive attitude to themselves and others and the skills to help them enjoy a successful life.
In school we have been busy recruiting a team of KS3 student ambassadors to demonstrate these values and act as positive role models across the school, demonstrating the very best leadership and commitment to their peers. KS3 students were invited to complete a formal application form and these were then cross referenced against their behaviour points and conduct around school. Our chosen team of ambassadors truly represent St. Matthias students at their best!
Our student ambassadors will now be encouraged to demonstrate their leadership and communication skills, and inspire other students to take a more active role in representing our school. They will set the tone of their role choosing activities which they want to lead and participate in. In addition to planning and promoting quizzes and themed days, for example Christmas, our student ambassadors will take part in outreach activities, for example environmental cleanups and student voice.
Well done to all who applied and to the final 8 students from each year group who were eventually chosen.
