From the Leader of Wellbeing - Year 9

It’s been so good to see everyone back this term with a fresh attitude and ready to jump into learning. There’s a real buzz around the school, and it’s clear that lots of you are setting out to make the most of the term ahead. Whether you’re getting back into your routine or trying something new, you’ve made a great start—and that deserves to be recognised.

Leading by Example
This term, we’re focusing on leadership, not just from school captains or SRC members, but from everyone. Leadership is about how you carry yourself every day. People notice how you speak, how you treat others, and how you represent our school. You might not realise it, but younger students often look up to you, and your actions can set the tone for those around you. So think about the example you’re setting, on the playground, in the classroom, and online.

Learning from Last Term
Your Semester 1 reports gave you a snapshot of where you’re at. Maybe there were some results you were proud of, or maybe there were areas you know you could improve. Either way, this is your chance to reflect, reset, and focus on what you want to achieve this term. Think about what worked, what didn’t, and what you could do differently. Start small, stay consistent, and keep moving forward.

Kindness Matters
One of the most important ways to be a leader is by being kind. A simple smile, a helpful gesture, or including someone who’s feeling left out can go a long way. If you see someone struggling, whether it’s with schoolwork, friendships, or something else, be the person who checks in. Real leadership is about lifting others up, not pushing them down. Be someone others feel safe around and inspired by.

Make This Term Count
Let’s build on this strong start and make Term 3 something to be proud of. Keep showing respect, giving your best effort, and being the kind of person who makes our school a better place to be. Look after one another, take pride in what you do, and enjoy the journey ahead.

Be someone others can count on and be the reason someone smiles each day
