Year 6 Leadership Day
In Week 1, our Year 6 students kicked off their final year with an inspiring and collaborative Leadership Day. We were honoured to welcome Regina Menz, Director of Armidale Catholic Schools, who delivered an engaging session that challenged the students to rethink their perspectives on what a leader truly looks like.
The day continued with leadership workshops and teambuilding games designed to amplify student voices and foster collaboration. These activities weren't just about fun; they were about empowering Year 6 to take active ownership of our school community. The most important takeaway of the day was our firm belief that leadership isn't defined by a badge or a title, everyone is a leader. We are so excited to see Year 6 lead with heart and integrity throughout 2026!
