Stepping into Leadership

A significant milestone in the leadership journey of our current Years 6 to 8 students took place last week, with the announcement and presentation of our 2027 Year Ambassadors at assembly.

Year Ambassadors play an important role within the College, serving as positive role models who uphold the values of the College and support the wellbeing and success of their peers. As visible leaders within their year group, they are expected to demonstrate integrity, responsibility, service, and a commitment to making a positive contribution to school life. We wish our newly elected Ambassadors all the best in their new role.

Looking ahead, our Year 5 students are beginning to consider the path towards leadership in 2027. This week, the leadership selection process will be launched during their Year Coordinator Meeting, giving students an opportunity to learn more about the responsibilities, expectations, and privileges that accompany student leadership. The process invites students to reflect on how they can make a meaningful contribution to our College community.

On this note, I reminded all students at Assembly last week of the importance of upholding our high standards when representing the College in the wider community, particularly on public transport. Our reputation as a College is shaped and strengthened by the character, conduct, and leadership of our students, whose actions ensure that our proud traditions continue to thrive.

Year 7 Camp

This week, our Year 7 students are enjoying their time at Camp Somerset, an important opportunity to strengthen friendships, build resilience, and create lasting memories. Experiences such as these play a significant role in helping students develop a strong sense of belonging and connection within their year group.

We extend our sincere thanks to Year Coordinator Mrs Warsop and Assistant Year Coordinator Mr Mullen for their outstanding organisation and preparation of the camp. Their efforts have ensured a smooth and rewarding experience for all involved.

We also acknowledge the dedication of the Year 7 Homeroom team and the additional staff attending camp. Thank you for your generosity in giving your time, and for the care, support, and supervision you provide for our students. Your commitment helps make these experiences both safe and meaningful and is greatly appreciated by the College community. A reminder that Friday 30 October is a rest day for all Year 7 students.
