Student Leaders Corner
Hello everybody!! My name is Rachael and I’m one half of your School Captain team for 2023.
I would like to formally welcome everyone to 2023 - new and old faces. I highly suggest any student visit the Safe Space, located in A26, if they wish to be part of a close and accepting group of lovely people, or if you just want to have a chat and make some new friends. Remember that it's okay to be a little overwhelmed when trying to make new friends and adjust to 'high school life'. With that, please feel welcome to speak to myself, Madina and all the other Student Leaders of 2023 if you need anything at all! We're always open for a chat during break time. While we may look big scary, I promise you we won't bite... but remember that a little kindness goes a long way 😊.
Now here are some goals for the year:
- Revamping the Arts Department at Dandenong High School - including art, drama and music related studies,
- Developing a more positive mindset at our school which focuses on self-worth, respect and acceptance, and,
- Increasing student and teacher wellbeing at our school.
With these plans come key commitments. I promise to always put in all my effort and to always be honest with our staff and students. Let’s have a fantastic year!
Hello everyone and welcome to a brand new year! If you don’t know me, I’m Madina and I’m one of the 2023 school captains.
I am on the edge of my seat to find out what this position is all about and what Rachael (my school captain partner), the other student leaders and I can do to improve some stuff at our school. My goal this year is to help and create a bond with every student and create a sense of unity in the schoolyard.
For any nervous new students or just nervous students in general, please understand that this is normal and you are not alone! You have heaps of support like myself, any of the other leadership team members, well-being, teachers and your friends. Please don’t be afraid to ask for advice or to even have a chat.
I can’t wait to see what this year has in store for us, Dandy High!
