School Leader

Help in Your Community

Elective. Do something meaningful for others — collect food, help a neighbour, or organise a donation drive. A parent or teacher note describing what you did and who it helped is proof. Good starting point for Grade 6–7 students stepping into leadership for the first time.

3 milestones

1. 1Decide what you will do and who it helps — tell a parent or teacher
2. 2Complete the action — parent or teacher note submitted describing what you did
3. 3Tell someone what you did and describe one more community action you want to do

Take On a Leadership Role

Required. Step into a formal role chosen by peers or appointed by adults — class rep, club officer, team captain, student council member, or committee chair. You hold real responsibility for others. A teacher or advisor confirms the role and your term.

3 milestones

1. 1Elected or appointed to a role — teacher or advisor confirms it in writing
2. 2Complete one full term or major project in the role — summarise what you did for others
3. 3Write a handover brief for your successor — demonstrate the role outlasted your involvement

Peer Tutor Your Classmates

Elective. Help at least 2 classmates consistently over 6+ weeks. No authority — they come back because the sessions are useful. Session log plus a teacher or tutee note is proof. The clearest way to show you can lead through knowledge rather than position.

3 milestones

1. 1Identify 2+ classmates to tutor and confirm the first session with a teacher or coordinator
2. 2Complete 6+ sessions — session log submitted (date, topic, who attended)
3. 3Tutee or teacher confirmation that sessions were consistent and helpful

Lead a Study Group From Zero to Sustained

Elective (Grade 9–12 recommended). Recruit 4+ people to a voluntary study group with a shared goal, sustain it through attrition, delegate real responsibility, and bring it to a defined endpoint. The full Tier 1 proof standard applies: real recruitment message, real attrition handled, real delegation. This is the hardest step on this path — and the most credentialing.

5 milestones

1. 1Recruit a group with zero institutional leverage
2. 2Run the first session and set the format
3. 3Sustain the group through the first attrition
4. 4Hand off a piece of the leadership
5. 5Reach a defined endpoint with the group intact

Raise Funds for a Verified Cause

Elective. Run a fundraising campaign for a registered charity — a school bake sale, a GoFundMe, a sponsored event — and hit your target. Campaign page link plus amount raised is proof. Leadership by mobilising others around a cause.

3 milestones

1. 1Campaign page live — target set — first donations received
2. 250% of target reached
3. 3Target met — final amount and campaign page submitted
