Student leaders at Gladstone Central State School are not people who are rewarded for good work or good behaviour by being given a position, nor is the appointment of Student Leaders a popularity contest. Student leadership at Gladstone Central School is rather a matching of a person to a responsibility to be fulfilled for the service of others.
The position of Student Leader at Gladstone Central State School requires a high degree of individual responsibility in upholding the ideals and rules of the School at all times. At the same time, it carries the role of guide and mentor to the youngest members of the School.
