Future Leaders Academy - Student Leaders Programme
Future Leaders Academy delivers high school leadership courses across the Pacific Islands, during school holidays. Courses are attended by year 12 and 13 student leaders, and those aspiring to be. Each course has participants from across NZ, and equivalent years from Australia, and the local Pacific Island schools. The aim of the programme is to; build strong connections with our next generation of young leaders across the Pacific region, increase cultural understanding and inclusiveness, and to develop leadership skills through experiential learning.
Developing our young leaders with transferable leadership skills, and the confidence to lead well within their school and post school environments, is the vision for Future Leaders Academy. The unique and culturally rich courses are described by students as “the best week of their lives”, “an amazing way to make friends for life”. Each course includes activities exploring environmental, business, humanitarian, outdoors, youth, cultural insights, community projects, and other issues. Students get the chance to lead their groups multiple times during the week. Courses also tick the box for gold Duke of Edinburgh Award - Residential Projects.
