Student Leadership at OAS

At Onewhero Area School we believe all students can show leadership. Leadership skills are developed through out the school as part of their every day learning and within specific student leadership positions. Students also show leadership by having an active say in school decision making through the student council and discussion groups that are established for specific reasons.
