Leadership

Our goal is that every young person will leave Turi with the character and skills needed to thrive in a society that is changing at an ever increasing pace. Academic skills are no longer the sole route to success. Students must demonstrate that they are articulate communicators, effective managers, confident leaders and empathetic team members.

Students develop their leadership skills through workshops, seminars, lectures, clubs and societies, on the sports field, in the boarding houses and by taking on roles of responsibility around the School and College. We aim to equip students to become young people of influence and integrity.

 

Leadership at Prep School

At Prep School, we believe that everyone can be a leader. As a ‘Leader in Me School’ we learn about and practice the 7 Habits: they form the basis of everything we do from our rewards to our assemblies to our actions around school. These habits inspire us in how we lead ourselves and lead others and are taught every week, by students, in tutor times and chapels as we seek to better ourselves as leaders today, tomorrow and in the future.

We are proud to be a ‘Leader in Me School’ and are on track to be granted ‘Lighthouse Status’ in the coming year!
