Leadership Report

Term 3 Summary

Theme Day is annual event at MGC and often much anticipated. Every year a theme list is chosen by the Senior School (SS) Executive and sent to students, who then select their favourite. This year’s theme was Hippies vs. Hipsters and there were fantastic costumes on both sides. A total of $717 was raised and will be given to Moira, an organisation who support people living with disabilities, youth in crisis and their families and carers.

There was a whole school assembly held on Theme Day – the 9th of August showcasing the talent of MGC. There were performances by the Aerobics Team - who are achieving spectacular things this year - The Choir, Band and the Fashion Parade. Thank you to everyone involved in making this assembly and every other one a success! See below for some photos.

2018 Leadership Applications

With Term 4 starting the process for selecting the 2018 Senior School Executive is underway. In a few weeks, we should have the leaders of next year ready to share with the MGC community!

Leadership Opportunities at MGC

For students (and parents!) who are interested in Leadership at MGC, the Student Executives are a fantastic way to meet new people, become involved in the school community and develop skills including teamwork, public speaking, project management and initiative taking There are two executives, the Middle School and Senior School and leadership roles are open to Year 8s, 9s, 11s and 12s. While senior school applications are closed, keep an eye out for the Middle School applications which will be opened in the coming weeks. The positions are listed below.

New Position: Diversity Captain

Over the past year, the College Captain team have been working on the development and creation of a new leadership portfolio within MGC. We are pleased to announce that the role of "Diversity Captain" will begin in 2018. The role of "Diversity Captain" will be to act as a positive role model for all minorities in the MGC community, as well as increasing awareness and educating others about inclusive behaviour and language, that is respectful to everybody and does not degrade, exclude or demean others. The "Diversity Captain" will act as a bridge between SPECTRA, the International students, as well as any other minority groups, with the student executive and school community. They will assist in the running of Harmony Day, any other culture related days and all SPECTRA events. We are very excited to see how this position develops and to bring more leadership opportunities to MGC in the future. For more information please contact the College Captain team.

Thank you, 2017 Captains!

We would like to thank all the 2017 Captains and Vice-Captains, from both Middle and Senior School for their hard work, commitment and enthusiasm to leadership at MGC. A special mention to the Year 12s who have balanced a leadership role on top of Year 12 studies, it isn’t easy, but worth it. This year it has been fantastic to work with you all!
