Secondary schools should provide their students with standardized, school-based leadership and management training courses.

1. Why Secondary Schools Ought to
Provide Leadership Training
Courses for Students

2. While it might continue on as a subject of debate to many, the question as
to whether leadership is a product of nature or nurture would only be held as
truly significant when people stop to think about the theoretical and act
according to the substance being discussed. Indeed, even the youngest high
school students would sense the weight of difference between being able to
discuss leadership and being able to do leadership. Far from desiring for
more leadership debates, they would rather love to be fed with the right
leadership principles through school-based leadership and management
courses. Perth institutions have gradually realized the value of such a pursuit
and have thus tasted of the results you might want to also enjoy for
yourself.
The Efficiency of School-Based Training
Student leadership training and executive coaching in Perth schools have
been proven to be more effective than those conducted by supporting
organizations. Although apparently more active and mobile, student-run
activities have a limited conceptual and financial resource base. Thus,
professionally speaking, the institution itself can be said to be of larger
capacity to produce the more professionally acceptable outcome of training.
The Accessibility of School-Based Courses
Students would often find it very easy to appreciate those institutionally
adapted leadership development programs. One reason is that they could
freely feel ownership over the program as they could identify with it through
the institutional name. The promise of gaining extra-curricular credentials
out of an attendance to these programs would serve as an icing to the
already delightful cake of being able to partake of the school’s official
leadership training.
The Sustainability of School-Based Leadership Coaching
A program that is embedded on a web of multiple goals and aspirations is
more likely to last long than one that is independently done for the sole
purpose of doing it. Thus, a school-based leadership development training
program, with modules specialized for secondary students, would be
statistically more enduring with time than any other training known to a
particular high school student.
At the end of the day, the three points just discussed should have made the
main point clear, i.e., by virtue of the large potential possessed by an
excellently run institution to provide student-targeted, leadership and
management courses in Perth, and of the intensity of the need for such

3. courses, the concerned institutional leader must then positively answer the
challenge made at the beginning. Secondary schools really ought to provide
their own school-based leadership and management training for their own
students.
