Leesbrook Leadership Days

At Oasis Academy Leesbrook, we believe in nurturing well-rounded individuals who are prepared for both academic challenges and personal growth. Our Leadership Days provide our students with unique opportunities to step outside of the classroom and engage in enriching activities that enhance their learning experience.

These special days are designed to broaden students’ horizons, foster leadership skills, and ignite their curiosity about the world around them. Throughout the academic year, each year group spends a full day participating in experiences that go beyond the standard curriculum.

Our Leadership Days  are implemented by creating unique and appropriate experiences for each year group. These days are designed to align with the Personal, social and academic development for our students, allowing them to grow beyond the traditional curriculum.

• Year 7: Students kick off their Leadership Days with a visit to the theatre, where they experience live performances, learn about the arts, and gain inspiration from the world of drama and storytelling.

• Year 8: A visit to the Museum of Science and Industry offers Year 8 students an exciting opportunity to explore science, technology, and industrial history. This experience helps develop their curiosity and critical thinking skills.

• Year 9: Our Year 9 students have explored higher education through university visits, where they learn about the world of academia, campus life, and future study options. These visits spark aspirations and help them plan for their educational journey ahead.

• Year 10: Year 10 students participate in a powerful “Prison Me No Way” day. This program brings important conversations about crime prevention, choices, and consequences, helping students reflect on their actions and understand the realities of life in the criminal justice system.

Leesbrook Leadership Days improve our students' education by providing experiences beyond the classroom:

• Enhances Learning: These days offer students real-world opportunities that develop essential skills like leadership, teamwork, and critical thinking.

• Builds Cultural Capital: Students gain a broader perspective through visits to theatres, museums, and universities, enhancing their understanding of different cultures and societies.

• Exposure to New Locations: Leadership Days take students to various places across the country, expanding their horizons and fostering independence.

• Raises Aspirations: These experiences inspire students to consider future careers and set higher aspirations, helping them explore potential pathways and goals.

In summary, Leadership Days provide invaluable experiences that shape our students’ growth, broaden their perspectives, and encourage future ambitions.
