Meet our 2027 Captains

Georgia 

What’s one thing you hope to achieve in your role as College Captain this year

One thing that I hope to achieve in my role as College Captain is to work together with next year's SRC team to try and introduce things to Mullauna that will benefit other students.

The best thing about Mullauna is…

The best thing about Mullauna is the community, there are so many awesome people here and the teachers are kind and always supportive. I feel as though this school is such a great place for people to flourish. 

If you could only listen to three songs for the rest of your life, what would they be?

‘Who’s your money on?’ by Inhaler

‘Bags - Recorded at Electric Lady Studios’ by Clairo

‘Marianne’ by Fontaines D.C.

What's the one thing guaranteed to make you late?

PTV, 1 minute always ends up being 10 minutes

What's your favourite canteen order?

Either chicken wrap or the Doritos 

What's your favourite way to spend a lunchtime at school?

My friends and I like to sit at the bench on the oval near F-wing. It’s always nice to hang out with my friends and just joke around.

Which fictional character would make the best College Captain?

Honestly, Greg from Over the Garden Wall would be a great College Captain. He was the coolest and was always so positive, even whilst he was actively being hunted by a monster. 

What do you think makes a good leader?

I feel a good leader is someone who makes others feel as though their ideas are valid and tries to take on people's suggestions when possible. 

What are you most looking forward to in 2027?

My friends and I got tickets to Bruno Mars so I'm definitely looking forward to that.

Aditi

What’s one thing you hope to achieve in your role as College Captain this year

My goal is to make sure more students at the school feel included and valued by creating a stronger sense of community.

The best thing about Mullauna is…

How friendly all the teachers are, and all the support the school offers.

What's one food you could happily eat every day?

GYG burrito.

If your friends had to describe you in three words, what would they say?

Funny, unfiltered, friendly.

What's the most memorable or funniest thing that's happened to you at school?

Year 10 maths with Mr Lam was by far the best most memorable class ever.

What’s your pet peeve about teachers?

When they say they will get our results back to us quickly but actually take weeks.

What do you think makes a good leader?

Being reliable, confident, empathetic, and treating everyone with respect and listening to their thoughts.

What's one thing you think students sometimes underestimate about themselves?

How capable they are of achieving their goals and believing they can do it because anyone can do things when they set their mind to it.

What's one thing on your bucket list?

Skydiving over the Himalayas.

Liam

What’s one thing you hope to achieve in your role as College Captain this year?

As College Captain there is a lot I want to do, but the most important thing for me is making a lasting positive impact on the school, not something that people remember for a year and then forget about, but something that stays and inspires others as to what can happen if you try hard enough.

What is the best thing about Mullauna?

The thing I love most about Mullauna is that we have quite a tight nit community, especially in our year levels, making it such a welcoming place to go to school, because everyone cares.

What is your most controversial food opinion?

I have many controversial food opinions, most involving tomato sauce. However, my most controversial would have to be at 5 years old enjoying a vegemite and soy sauce sandwich because at that point I didn’t like sushi but still wanted to be a part of what my family was eating. And honestly, I would still back the sandwich today.

What’s your favourite joke?

Me: I saw a wolf on the way to school today.

You: Where? 

Me: No just a normal one. 

What's your favourite way to spend a lunchtime at school?

Playing any kind of the sport, although most of the time it ends up being soccer.

Which fictional character would make the best College Captain?

I think Bugs bunny would make the best College Captain.  He gives off a good vibe and is quite a kind-hearted person. Additionally, although he may cause mayhem, he always seems to find his way out of trouble, and finds solutions to problems, no matter how big or small.

Which of our values do you consider most important and why? 

While I love all of them, I have always favoured curiosity: encouraging learning and asking questions above all else, it is the one thing I feel is essential for learning, and after watching Ted Lasso, which reinforced my understanding of it, being curious and not judgemental. 

What is one thing you hope to be doing in five years?

In five years, I hope to be getting paid for playing soccer, whether that’s in the A-league or a local Sunday league club trying to climb the divisions.

 What's a piece of advice someone has given you that has stuck?

A piece of advice that has stuck by me is that you alone are responsible for your actions, and are responsible for how your life turns out, not others. Someone may tell you to do something, or say something that offends you, but ultimately, you’re the one making the decisions.

Vanessa

What’s one thing you hope to achieve in your role as College Captain this year

As a College Captain I hope to help improve the school in any aspect that I possibly can and help to create a safe and inclusive environment where everybody can be themselves. 

The best thing about Mullauna is…

The way everyone, including staff, students and teachers, is so friendly and supportive. It makes Mullauna Secondary College feel like a welcoming and inclusive community.

If your friends had to describe you in three words, what would they say? 

Dedicated, positive attitude, self-driven 

What's your biggest irrational fear?

Spiders

Being able to explore new interests and having plenty of opportunities to achieve your goals.

Getting distracted talking to my peers in the locker bay. 

What does student voice mean to you? 

To me, student voice is the freedom to express yourself without judgement and to help create positive change in school from the perspective of someone who is actively experiencing the school system.

What's one thing on your bucket list?

To travel and explore the world more before I begin university. 

What are you most looking forward to in 2027?

To graduate and make many more wonderful memories with my peers!
