The Queensland Future School Leaders Program offers Year 5 students a unique opportunity to develop essential leadership, communication and teamwork skills.
Aligned with the Civics and Citizenship curriculum and completed during class time in Term 4, this facilitated program enables participants to collaborate online with peers from across the Asia-Pacific region. Together, participants will navigate and positively respond to the challenges experienced by our rapidly changing and diverse societies.
Through this program, participants not only enhance their self-awareness, analytical, creative-thinking and leadership abilities; they also develop the global competence and intercultural understanding needed to form meaningful relationships in an increasingly interconnected world.

Learning Objectives 
•    Improve personal leadership skills such as critical and creative thinking, collaboration, and empathy.   
•    Encourage effective communication skills through active participation, intercultural understanding, understanding diverse perspectives, and presenting ideas. 
•    Strengthen global citizenship through international engagement and addressing global issues.
•    Utilise design thinking framework and tools to develop solutions to local, school-based challenges.

This exclusive face-to-face forum is open to schools that demonstrated outstanding engagement in the 2025 Emerging Leaders Forum (ELF) online program. Participating schools must have attended all three ELF program days and submitted a project via Padlet. The forum provides an opportunity for student leaders to connect, share their learning, and deepen their leadership skills in a university setting.

To support balanced representation, a mix of ELF Primary and Junior Secondary schools will be included.

Help our young leaders build skills in intercultural communication, teamwork, and leadership and connect with students from international schools from Asia and the Pacific.
