Student Leadership Formation Day
Our 2024 Student Leadership Team had an opportunity to come together to get to know each other and begin developing their leadership skills on Friday 24th November.
The day included a range of icebreaker activities to foster a sense of community across students from different year levels. Staff Community and Wellbeing Leaders were delighted with the enthusiasm and practical service to one another that the students demonstrated on the day. The day commenced with a surprise karaoke performance that pushed students out of their comfort zones and provided a lot of laughter and positive vibes! The students had an opportunity to work in groups and brainstorm initiatives for the 2024 school year before sharing in a delicious lunch.
Students provided some wonderful feedback on the day and are clearly a reflective and inspired team!
