This course offers students the opportunity to develop leadership skills and practice theories through a variety of in-school and out-of-school experiences such as spirit weeks and grade specific events. Through consultation and collaboration with other “leadership” groups in the school such as Student Council, Athletic Leadership and SOAR, you will learn the skills of effective leaders. This course is intended to be student driven. The direction of the course and the productivity of the group are dependent on each member’s participation and input. The success of the course and our year as leaders at Port Moody is dependent on what you as an individual and you, as a group, are willing to invest. Assessment is derived from student’s participation and completion of leadership assignments. Students will be a part of organizing, planning and participating in school events. The leadership class will help school counselors, administration with school-based events such as parent nights, fundraisers etc. This class is an ideal fit for students who are passionate about building leadership skills through enhancing school community and cultivating school spirit. It is an expectation of this course that students will participate in 12 hours of volunteer time outside of normal instructional time organizing and running different events.

This is a full-year linear course that runs outside of the school day and will meet after block 5.
