Thank you to Captains
We would like to thank and acknowledge our school captains and prefects for being wonderful role models this year. It has been a pleasure working closely with them and we wish them every success in high school.
We invited our outgoing leaders to share their advice to our students for one last time;
Ayla: Take time to know yourself and don’t hide it. I’ll do it now and feel free to respond. Never back down, never what…. (Students respond) never give up!
Joel: Always remember, never sweat the small stuff. Enjoy your life.
Olive: My advice to you is a quote from the great Albert Einstein “Life is like riding a bicycle to keep your balance you must keep moving.”
Cody: Always make sure everyone is valued, respected and cared for in school and out of school.
The current Captains passed on the leaders’ school blazer to their successors;
Girl School Captain for 2024: Phoebe Farrant-Wills
Boy School Captain for 2024: Ricky Hird
Girl Prefect for 2024: Jorja Jamieson
Boy Prefect for 2024: Alex Davis
