Our student leadership programme is rooted in creativity, collaboration and a passion for the performing arts. Each role empowers young leaders to grow through responsibility, voice, and vision.

Together, these student leaders inspire excellence, embody our artistic values, and help make our school a place where every voice is heard and every talent has the space to shine.

Head Students

At Theatre Led Arts, the role of Head Student is a prestigious and purposeful position, awarded to those who demonstrate exceptional leadership, integrity, and a commitment to the values of our creative community. Students apply for this role by submitting a written statement that outlines their vision for student leadership, how they plan to represent the school with pride and professionalism, and how they will work collaboratively with the principals and peers to influence positive change.

Our Head Students are the voice of the student body, leading the student council, supporting school initiatives, and embodying the ethos of Theatre Led Arts. They serve not only as role models, but as change-makers who help shape the future of our school with energy, empathy, and excellence.

Dance Captain

The Dance Captain is a vital creative leader within our performance community, working closely with the dance teachers to polish, rehearse and refine choreography. They help break down complex routines, guide peers through movement with clarity and precision, and ensure that every dancer feels confident and performance-ready. Whether leading warm-ups, assisting in classes, or offering one-to-one support, the Dance Captain upholds a high standard of discipline and artistry, inspiring others through both their technical excellence and collaborative spirit. They are a bridge between the creative vision and the ensemble—encouraging unity, professionalism and passion in every rehearsal.

Student Council

The Student Council is a dynamic and proactive body of students who act as a vital link between the student voice and school leadership. Meeting regularly, they offer input on all areas of school life, from the learning environment and well-being, to enrichment, inclusivity, and the arts. They support the Head Students, contribute to strategic discussions, and help shape decisions that directly affect the student experience.

More than just representatives, our council members are changemakers: generating fundraising initiatives, assisting in the organisation of TLA events and field trips, and working within classrooms to model positive engagement. They are trusted listeners, peer supporters, and advocates—playing a key role in making sure every student feels safe, seen, and supported.

Student Ambassadors

Our Performing Arts Ambassadors are hand-selected students who demonstrate exceptional talent, commitment, and leadership in their chosen discipline, acting, singing or dance. These students are not only excelling in their craft but are recognised for their ability to inspire and uplift those around them.

Ambassadors serve as role models within the school’s creative community, offering support to younger students in that discipline, building confidence, and fostering a strong ensemble ethic. Their guidance becomes a vital building block in helping others grow, not just as performers, but as resilient, expressive, and collaborative artists.

Ambassadors help create a culture where excellence is nurtured, not just achieved. They are the future leaders of the arts, learning to lead with humility, purpose and passion.
