During the course of the year, these students take part in a Leadership Development Program, which will provide them with the opportunity to meet regularly, work collaboratively and develop a greater understanding on the key elements of strong leadership. The Leadership System at Northholm Grammar is an inclusive model that allows students to achieve recognition for the high standards of leadership they have already displayed and to show that they have the capacity to grow further.

To be able to face a variety of challenges at different levels, Northholm graduates need to learn and master leadership skills of self-awareness to understand the impact of their behaviour on school outcomes, communication to effectively communicate goals and inspire trust, influence to be comfortable persuading, promoting and delegating and learning agility to know when to change course and to help others to do so.
