We have a wonderful, friendly, supportive school community. Our students and their families are key to shaping our school into the vibrant place it is.
Leadership is a key component of Springbank’s learning framework. From an early age, students are required to work in teams, developing their interpersonal skills in a variety of social environments (e.g. sports, class projects, community work), and they are regularly exposed to leadership opportunities.
We believe that leadership starts with self-responsibility. Each student is encouraged to practice making the right choice and be responsible for the path they ultimately choose to take throughout life.
Formal leadership recognition at Springbank starts in Junior School and develops through Middle School. Our Senior Leadership Programme is comprehensive, with prefects selected following a formal application process. Students also have responsibility as House Leaders and form tutors of younger classes.
Our seniors encourage, challenge, and support one another to inspire success. Prefects and Senior Leaders regularly represent the school at formal community events (e.g. Anzac Day), act as ambassadors for school visitors, run lunchtime sport and clubs, speak at school assemblies, and plan various school events (e.g. school ball, talent show, drama productions). Seniors also recognise their responsibility to act as role models and mentors for our younger students (e.g. coaching younger sports teams)

Katija:I started off at Springbank as a baby down at Preschool. I re-joined Springbank in 2019 as a YearNine. On my visit day, I knew from the second I was here that I wanted to carry onmy journey at this lovely school. Springbankis like no other; small class groups,dedicated, passionate teachers who want to do their best for you, and a safe environment for all students to fit into.
Jaluka:It feels surreal tosay I only joined Springbank in Year Eight, because this school feels like my home. Throughout mytime here I have been continuously blown away by the number of incredibleopportunities available to all students, whether they be academic or to just blow off some sporting steam.
This year our goal is to give back to Springbank. After the manyopportunities and experiences we have been a part of, we believe that it is ourtime to give back to our lovely teachers and fellow students. Together we are ready to work alongside our peers to ensurethey have the best year yet!
