Meet your College Captains

Introducing two of our College Captains: Jack and Emma! 

Jack McCarrron 

Introduce yourself: Hi everyone! I’m Jack and I’m one of the College Captains for 2022! I started to seriously consider this role two years ago for various reasons, but most notably as I wanted to see what I am capable of within the College community. What I love about Heathmont College is the sense of community. That sense of community was something also prevalent in primary school, so it’s something I value quite a bit.

 

What subjects are you doing this year? This year I’m in the VCE program and I’m studying English, German, Psychology, Business Management, as well as Health and Human Development. My interests outside of school include going out to cool places, driving, looking at cars and, well, taking photos in abundance. We’re talking about over 2000 mirror selfies so far...

 

What do you want to do after school? What are your passions? I’d love to become a journalist after I finish school, though I’m not exactly in a rush. I want to try out new things after school and see where my abilities lie. I find myself to be fairly passionate about, what a surprise, cars! Never one to shy away from outing the good brands and then the bad.

 

Favourite quote? I don’t know what my favourite quote is, let’s make it easy and just say anything from Mean Girls is iconic and has my obsession.

 

Where can we find you? During recess and lunch, you’ll find me throughout the school yard (just usually not the basketball courts or the oval 😉) and I’m always happy to talk!

Emma Powell 

Introduce yourself: Hello Heathmont College, my name is Emma Powell, my pronouns are she/her, and I am a Heathmont College Captain for 2022. I wished to be School Captain in order to represent our school. I have been attending Heathmont College since Year 7 and I care very much for Heathmont. 

 

What do you love about Heathmont? An aspect of the school that I love is the support that our teachers give to us - I know that I can always approach the staff here for any help I need, whether it be academically or otherwise. 

 

What subjects are you doing this year? The subjects I'm doing this year are; English, Maths Methods, Chemistry, Biology, and Global Politics. Armed with the knowledge of these subjects, I aim to undertake a Bachelor of Pharmacy in university after Year 12, with my end goal becoming a pharmacist in my community. 

 

What do you want to accomplish this year? The initiation of changes that better the learning environment at the school, in order to ensure students are safe, welcome, and are able to thrive at Heathmont College is something I want to achieve as Captain this year. Despite any external challenges that may arise this year, I hope that this year can be a successful and enjoyable one for everyone!
