The 2025 Wagga School Leaders Program concluded with a graduation evening at the Magpies Nest Restaurant. The students were joined by proud parents, school principals and co-ordinators, program facilitators and contributors as well as our valued sponsors and dignitaries were there for a night of gratitude and acknowledgement of achievement.

The students prepared for the final module by starting the day in pairs on the bus trip to Charles Sturt University. During the trip they explored the following questions. What are your emotions as we start our final day of WSLP?

Module 6 of the Wagga School Leaders Program was held early in June. At this module the students explored “Me and my place in a bigger Environment”.

On May 20th , students began the day at the Museum of the Riverina, with a Welcome to Country by Aunty Mary Atkinson and then Aunty Mary also assisted with a detailed interactive tour with the exhibit designer and Regional Museum Officer, Samantha Leah as well as the Museum Education & Public Programs Officer, Angus Cawdell-Smith.

Today was the first day the participants got to meet their Mentors. Mentors from local businesses and government donate their time generously to work with the students, offering wisdom from their own work and life experience as well as ongoing support.

The ARTC Kapooka module is likely to challenge the individual participants and develop teamwork skills. The students learn about their strengths and weaknesses, develop trust and get to know each other better.

Module 1 of the Wagga School Leaders Program kicked off yesterday at Charles Sturt University. Moving on after the icebreaker exercise the cohort spends time establishing their Cohort Charter which will be their guide to refer to for the entirety of the program.
