Student Leadership
In 2024, we identified the need for three leadership positions to allow the students to serve others. It provides the students the chance to face challenges and take action within the school and in the community. Leadership involves determination, discipline and courage. Students are asked to be like Jesus and be leaders just like he was to his many followers. The three areas of leadership St Mary’s Primary School has provided for 2024 are Leader of Faith, Leader of Community and Leader of Environment. Each student was required to write an application to apply for their position to create a sense of ownership and accountability.
Abby: Working with different people and working more with Fin since I haven’t worked with him as much. My initiative is to help others and support others in Religion and doing prayer. Fin: I am looking forward to participating in the Caritas fundraising event on Shrove Tuesday in Bendigo, where we get to sell pancakes and raise money. My initiative is getting involved with more Social Justice activities to support those in need.
| Jordan: I am looking forward to making new games with Olivia for everyone to play out in the yard. My initiative is to make sure that all the playgroup equipment is put back in the right spot. Olivia: I am looking forward to welcoming new people and helping with the playgroup with setting up activities and games whilst working with Jordan. My initiative is the fact that I am kind, caring, respectful and I cannot wait for everyone to experience the convent when it reopens. | Jenson: I am looking forward to looking after our school environment and working with Ryan. My initiative for this Semester is to bring back the chickens because I really enjoy animals and looking after them. Ryan: I am looking forward to getting chickens this year because they help us with our composting. My initiative is to keep the school clean so that the animals around our school don’t eat any of the rubbish that is left around.
