Wagga School Leaders Program Module 6

“Me and my place in a bigger Environment”.

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”. The morning commenced with discussions around intention setting to set the tone for the day.

In the morning session each student was given the opportunity to present to the cohort their Leadership Shields. The students have been working on this task since February. All had differing levels of nerves leading into the presentations with some experiencing excitement while others were finding it daunting.

The students were then critiqued on the presentations with practical advice on further enhancing their presentation skills.

At each module over the course of the program the students have been developing their presentation skills. They have been asked to consider the power of storytelling, to open with impact, make it relevant to the audience, think about voice projection, pitch, pace, pauses, eye contact, facial expressions, and content.

The afternoon was spent preparing for the Graduation. Students were assigned their roles and presentation topics. Time was then spent discussing and planning the presentation.
