Ākonga
 Leadership

Ākonga/student leadership opportunities encompass both formal and informal roles and an expectation that all ākonga will answer the call to leadership. Across all leadership opportunities, ākonga will gain a deeper understanding of what it means to be a leader, not just in our Catholic Ignatian College but in the wider world beyond the classroom. This is aimed at developing servant leadership as modelled by Jesus Christ. Ultimately, our leadership programmes will equip our young people with a deep sense of what it means to the 'people for and with others'. Growing leaders who work together to build a compassionate and just world where all people can live to their full potential.
