Digital Leaders
At Maghull High School, our Digital Leaders are driven by a passion for technology and a commitment to giving back to the school community. Through this program, students not only aspire to expand their digital knowledge and skills but also achieve excellence by taking on leadership roles in tech-related projects. From supporting peers and staff with digital tools to developing creative solutions, they enjoy the challenge of using technology to make a positive impact. Being a Digital Leader means being at the forefront of innovation, learning, and collaboration, all while contributing to the school’s success.
