The Leadership Seminar is a special event on our annual
calendar. Leadership and teamwork are skills that are highly sought after in
industry. This event is the first phase in preparing and equipping students for
their role as future leaders; especially the SRC and Hostel Prim 2017. The
seminar is open to anyone who is interested to gain leadership skills but is
compulsory for all SRC nominees. Students who are ultimately elected to the SRC
and Hostel Prim find it difficult to fulfill their leadership role effectively
without the necessary leadership and teamwork background.
To enable you to participate (whether you are a
SRC/Hostel Prim nominee or whether you are just a participant) a fee of R570.00
is payable. The fee includes seminar facilitation, outdoor adventure
activities, hand-outs and questionnaires, accommodation, all meals during the
weekend, as well as a leadership certificate. The fee is very reasonable.
Comparatively speaking, the running rate for a similar training workshop for
employees is R3500+ (excluding meals and accommodation) per person.
It is a well-tested program, developed and refined over
many years. All participants in the past agreed about the amount of learning
and fun experienced during this event. This event will test you in many aspects
from communication aspects, conflict management, negotiation skills,
assertiveness, teamwork aspects, etc.
Further information for SRC/ Hostel Prim nominees:
Attendance of the seminar does not guarantee that you
will automatically be elected for the SRC/Hostel Prim. After careful monitoring
during the weekend a shortlist of approximately 16-20 candidates is
compiled. The shortlist will be published on notice boards on Monday 29
August 2016, 12:00. The shortlist students will take part in a campaign from
Tuesday 30 August 2016 till Thursday 12 September 2016. The
voting/election takes place on Friday 13 September 2016 after the Big Brag. As
a further capacity building event all members of the SRC/HC elected have to
attend a strategic planning conference over the weekend of 14-16 October 2016
at Struisbaai. This event is FREE of charge and sponsored by the Academy.
Don’t miss out on this amazing opportunity.
