This year at the Byron Primary School, we have ventured into a unique and meaningful relationship with some of our 5th grade students from the Byron Intermediate School. Together we have created and implemented a 5th Grade Leadership program. The goal of this program is to empower our 5th grade students to be role models and leaders for our younger students, while providing assistance with our morning routines.
Our 5th grade leaders report to the Primary School every morning at 7:15 to check in, get their safety vest, put on their nametag and decide where they will be helping that morning. Students have the option of assisting in breakfast, assisting with parent drop off, or assisting on the playground. Students rotate jobs so that they get to know the ins and outs of all supervision areas.
When asked how they feel about the leadership opportunities offered this year, students have responded with overwhelming positive comments! “It is so much fun!” “I love being able to do this!” We look forward to having our 5th grade leaders continue their roles and enjoy their experiences with the Primary students
