Robert Bateman Public School Student Leadership in Action
Robert Bateman Public School students embrace student leadership via the Amigos. The junior division students organized cooperative games for students in the primary division during the two activity breaks. The junior students selected a particular game or activity, brought out the necessary equipment, and went to different areas in the yard where they led the primary students in games. On any day you will see dozens of students from both divisions happily playing a wide variety of games. The added benefit is that, in turn, the younger students look forward to becoming Amigos leaders themselves once they enter the junior grades. This is youth leaders creating youth leaders. It ensures that leadership is a gift that all give to each other.
