Student Development and Support Programs

Leadership Programs

Sancta Sophia College recognises the importance of personal and professional development of students and their ability to be leaders in the community and in their future career paths.

Fostering leadership development, we support many leadership initiatives and provide significant financial support for students to attend Leadership Programs both within College, nationally and internationally. In 2010 these initiatives included the National Association of Australian University Colleges (NAAUC) and National Student Leadership Forum (NSLF).

Many student leaders take on the role of O-Week Leaders each year, assisting students who are new to Sancta.

To support the elected student leaders of the College community, further training and workshop initiatives will be introduced in 2012.
