Developing the leadership potential of every Grade 7 girl is central to the school's leadership programme. The girls are offered opportunities to serve the school by utilising their individual strengths and personal preferences.

During her Grade 7 year, each girl learns that leadership comes in many different forms, and that she can contribute meaningfully in her own special way.

She may choose to be a Class Monitor, assisting the Pre-Preparatory and Junior Preparatory teachers before school in the mornings, she may enjoy the challenges involved in School Public Relations when visitors are taken around the school on Open Days. She may enjoy representing the school at the Baba Indaba and other public events and organise Friday ice cream sales, or she may choose to plan and run the Grade 7 Community Outreach projects for the year as well as assisting with special days such as AIDS Day, the Warm Hearts Campaign and other whole school initiatives.

At the beginning of the year an initial Leadership Workshop is held to focus on the qualities required of leaders. Although the girls are expected to run their portfolios proactively, they are assisted and mentored by the Grade 7 Class Teachers and the Deputy Head. Further opportunities to develop teamwork are afforded on the Outdoor Leadership Day run by the Cape Leadership Academy in Tokai.
