Student Leaders

At Launceston Grammar we believe our students have valuable contributions to the leadership and direction of the School. Taking on a student leadership role is an important opportunity to develop leadership skills and qualities. We are proud of the initiative and enthusiasm shown by our Senior Campus and Junior Campus Co-Captains, who are ably supported by a team of House Captains, Subject Captains and Prefects.

Each year our student leaders provide a great example to their peers, host fantastic events and mobilise the student body in raising funds for causes that are dear to their hearts.
