Leadership Training

The Queen’s ESU Leadership Training Program provides students entering grades 7 to 10 the skills and experiences to become effective leaders in their school and community. With the goal of personal growth and development, students practice their communication skills, cultivate strategic relationships, and learn to be successful team members and leaders.

Previous Leadership Training programs delivered by Queen’s ESU included three levels. Any student that has successfully completed level 1 or 2 in the past, upon successful completion of 2022 Queen’s ESU Leadership Training, will receive a certificate of completion acknowledging their accomplishment in all levels of the program. By enrolling in this program and participating actively, the student will have completed Queen’s ESU Leadership Training.

Leadership Training is now a course option of the Summer Enrichment Experience program.

The Program offers unique and complementary courses and activities designed to build and practice valuable knowledge and skills. All participants attend a leadership retreat to the Elbow Lake Environmental Education Centre to participate in exciting teambuilding and leadership activities in an outdoor setting. Other activities may include climbing, swimming, a corn maze adventure, challenging teambuilding exercises, and more.

For students working towards the Duke of Edinburgh International Award Gold Medal, the residence option satisfies the Gold Project requirement. To receive a Duke of Edinburgh award, students must complete personal goals in 4 to 5 different categories. Please refer to the Duke of Edinburgh – Ontario website for age requirements and other Award information.
