Year Five Mercy Values Leadership Day

Today the Year 5 students and their teachers participated in a Mercy Values Leadership Day. It provided the students with the opportunity to explore what makes a good leader , the highs and lows of leadership and what being a leader at SHPS entails. Students rotated through the six Mercy Values completing different activities as they explored what each value means. Thanks to the students for their enthusiasm and for the Year 5 staff and Mrs Gorman for all their efforts. I think our Year 6 2025 students are going to be wonderful role models for the whole school.
