From the Leader of Wellbeing and Learning

Student Leadership

This week is “Love of Learning Week”. Thank you to our student leaders for creating a variety of activities for the students in Learning Group, and the way the students have reflected on their learning. Thank you also to Mr Frankham for his support and guidance of the leaders across both campuses, as they plan and prepare our Character Strength Weeks.

We have started the leadership process for students in years 7-10 as we look towards our 2024 SRC and House Captains on the Junior Campus. Students had been asked to look for the leadership qualities and character strengths in their peers and themselves and have put forward nominations for these leadership roles. To be eligible for a leadership role at the College, students must be a good role model in all aspects of College life, support all College activities and be fully supportive of, and involved with, the mission of a Catholic school. They must also meet the College Expectations regarding attendance, learning, uniform and behaviour.  

Congratulations to our newly elected leaders on the Senior Campus for a fantastic Leadership Retreat at Gerringong in Week 5. More details on the Leadership Retreat will be included in the next newsletter. All leaders have received their Portfolios now and we wish them well in their leadership over the next 12 months. Here are our new leaders with their portfolios:
