How a Leadership Curriculum Can Transform Your Student Leaders
This article introduces Project Santiago, Yellow Arrow’s curriculum-based leadership program designed for Years 9 and 10. Rather than offering leadership as a one-off workshop or camp, this program embeds leadership development into the timetable, making it accessible to a wider range of students. Through hands-on activities, reflection, and real responsibility, students gradually grow in confidence and capability. With flexible, ready-to-use resources and examples from schools like Clonard College, this blog shows how leadership can become a subject, one that transforms not just individual students but the whole school culture.
