SRC Team Charter

Our SRC have been working on their team charter for 2024. A team charter is a document developed through a collaborative effort of team members. It outlines a team’s purpose, expectations and member roles. It acts as a roadmap for how the team will work together throughout the year.  They have done a fantastic job.

Student Leaders Conference

Our Student Leaders  attended a Leadership Conference at ‘Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre’ on Monday February 12th. The purpose of the Conference was to  nurture & develop leadership skills; the theme for this year's conference was ‘Raising the Standards.’ The day involved a mixture of presentations, games, activities and sharing of ideas between schools. 

 

Our leaders have been challenged to:

Step Up and use their talents

Step In and help when they see a need

Step Out and try something new

Step Closer and befriend others.

 

We hope participation in this day will see the students inspired and empowered to exercise leadership in all aspects of their own lives. 

 

I would like to publicly thank all of our student leaders.  John, Kristina & I had a fantastic day with this group of awesome leaders. It was an absolute pleasure to spend the day with them. They represented our school with pride and were a credit to themselves and their families.

Sun Smart

 

It's that time of year again when all students must wear a hat when outside. It is strongly suggested that the hat be a bucket style as this gives the best protection. School hats are available from the uniform shop. Students who do not have a hat will be asked to stay in the shade.
