The Centre for Student Leadership, taking its direction from the Shared Leadership Team (SLT), follows a team centred leadership model. Working without title or distinction, the individuals forming the SLT have come together as equals to guide and direct the Centre for Student Leadership. Comprised of five founding members, Denis Bell, Lynda Rees, Gavin Wark, Melri Wright, Mike Wright, and later joined by Mark Anderson, the SLT connections originated through their involvement with YouthBuilders, a 12 month leadership development program.
Team members bring their individual experience and complementary learned and natural abilities to the direction and future guidance of the Centre for Student Leadership. The team offers a depth of educational experience in the areas of leadership, business, psychology, sociology, nursing, family systems, mentoring, theology and international development along with first hand connection to community, not for profit and charity based groups.
