At Lift Beacon High, we believe in the power of student leadership to create real and lasting change. As Student Leaders, we embody the values of LORIC — Leadership, Organisation, Resilience, Initiative, and Communication — in everything we do. We also live by our core expectations: to be Safe, Ready, and Respectful every day, in every situation.
This manifesto is our commitment — a promise to drive positive change for all students at Lift Beacon High.
As the Student Leadership Team, we empower and support our school community. We believe every student has a voice — a voice that deserves to be heard, respected, and acted upon. Our diversity is our strength, and we dedicate our time and energy to ensuring every student feels valued, included, and inspired to achieve their best.
We recognise our responsibility in how our school presents itself and how it is represented beyond our walls. Through a strong and active School Council, Student Leaders are the driving force of student voice — working alongside staff and the Senior Leadership Team to create meaningful, positive change.
Our Student Leadership Team reflects the diversity of our student body, ensuring that every culture, belief, and background is celebrated and respected.
The Student Leadership Team will:
We are ambitious. We believe in the potential of every student. We are part of a community where respect, inclusivity, and kindness matter.
We are leaders of change, shaping a school that reflects the very best of who we are.
At Lift Beacon High, we will always strive to:
Believe. Belong. Become.
