Prefect Leadership Team Visit - Royal Holloway University of London
On a Friday 14th June, members of our Year 10 Prefect Leadership team visited Royal Holloway University of London to take part in a 'Myth and Voice' workshop led by Dr Efi Spentzou. Our students, who have have additional responsibilities across the school, explored the importance of using their voice to establish leadership and relationships with their new roles.
They looked at different styles of leadership and used the story of 'Phaethon, the Sun God and Jupiter' to work in small groups and think about the emotions and relationships that are experienced within leadership; the role of voice within authority; and their responsibility within their role.
The students will then spend time back in school creating a manifesto for their team and student body. They started to think about who their ‘Phaethon, Sun Gods and Jupiter’s’ are to realise the importance of relationships, voice and communication within leadership. We had some real breakthrough moments regarding how important it is to consider the ‘bigger picture’ when trying to embed and idea or start a project.
We cannot wait to see what they produce!
