From the 15th to the 21st of January, I was lucky enough to attend the Lady Somers Camp, also known as ‘Big Camp’. Big Camp is an experience like no other. I was one of 100 girls chosen from over 300 applicants. I was put into a group with 19 other girls around my age. They were all strangers to me, from different backgrounds, locations and schools. There were the loud ones, the quiet ones, the ones who are normally leaders and the ones who let people lead them, the athletic, the less active and some who have a slight disability. I was pushed past my comfort zone and to the point of exhaustion. You are put in unique and challenging situations that show that you can do more than you think.
Student Leadership is an important aspect of our school community. I would like to congratulate the following students on being selected as a leader for their year level. School Captains: Ebony Kerr & Connor Buchanan Year 7 – Peggy McGee & Connor Chapman Year 8 – Kai Broomfield & Heidi Veitch Year 9 – Jonah Ivelja & Mackenna Huth Year 10 – Stephanie Elabde & Troy Missen Year 11 – Georgia Lucas & Tobi Mason Year 12 – Maddison Huth & Jack Kettle Our Student Leaders will work together to form the Student Leadership Council (SLC). The SLC will implement programs, influence school policy and ensure the overall school community is always improving.
