In this episode of Holy Moly Podcastaroony, I interview Carter from Badger Creek Primary School about being a young leader.

Carter explains that young leaders attend workshops with other schools to discuss ways to improve their school and mentions a top-secret kindness act video project. He describes the application process, including answering questions about why he wanted to be a leader and what changes he would make, and says stronger connection and conversation among students can improve the school.

Carter focuses on kindness and the ripple effect, helping students who are “down,” and shares his goals of meeting with other young leaders and helping people around the school. We discuss the school values—be a learner, be safe, and be kind—and how leaders model these so others can follow.00:00 Welcome and Meet Carter00:16 Why Become a Young Leader00:22 Workshops and Kindness Project00:56 Becoming a Young Leader01:42 Kindness and Ripple Effect02:20 Goals and Paying It Forward03:10 School Values Explained05:23 Leading by Example at Recess06:21 Why Carter Was Chosen06:58 Thanks and Goodbye
