Leadership is a quality that is valued at Clontarf Beach State School and the school's Student Leadership Program endeavours to develop a student's abilities to work within teams, build relationships, identify and achieve tasks and recognise and display effective communication skills. These skills are an invaluable proficiency for high school and beyond.
All students in Year 5 and Year 6 at Clontarf Beach State School are invited to undertake the Clontarf Beach State School Leadership Program. Students who successfully complete the program are presented with a badge that they are eligible to wear in recognition of their achievement.

Clontarf Star level must be maintained at all times. Uniform and attendance standards must also be maintained.
