Leadership
Student Leadership
Mitcham Girls High School provides a range of opportunites for students to develop their leadership skills including; Zonta Women’s Leadership Program, VISION leaders, Youth Opportunities, House Captains and Peer Leader Program.
International Women’s Day is a significant day in our school’s calendar with the celebratory events co-designed by a team of staff and students.
VISION
If a student needs to leave the school grounds for an appointment, she presents a note to her subject teacher and then reports to Student Services. Using the Student ID card, the Student Services Officer signs the student out using Daymap and the departure time is recorded. A printed receipt is placed in the diary, to be signed by the parent.
Zonta leadership Program
Students who feel unwell during the school day report to Student Services for attention. In the event of an accident or illness that requires medical attention, parents will be contacted. No student is sent home unless a parent or nominated emergency contact person is contacted.
House Captains
Parents are asked to ensure that items of clothing and personal property are appropriately labelled.
All students are allocated a locker at the beginning of the school year. Students need to provide a suitable lock for their locker.
The use of mobile phones and other personal electronic devices is discouraged during school hours. Students are required to turn their mobile phones off at 8:40am and ensure it remains off during lesson time. The school takes no responsibility for mobile phones or other personal electronic equipment that is brought to school. They are brought to school at the student’s own risk.
