Student Leadership

Students in Year 8 were given the opportunity to apply to become a leader for the year level. The Year 8 cohort were able to cast their votes to the hub which saw Tanill and Lisa become our student leaders for Semester 1. At the Year 8 hub we have a whole leadership team which consists of 7 students, who will meet regularly with the hub to discuss any concerns, give feedback or give suggestions to better the school. This is their chance to be the voice for the Year 8 cohort and grow into the young adults they are becoming.

Some excerpts from our Year 8 student leader nominations that truly demonstrate the quality of persons we have at our school.

• “I think having more responsibilities would be good for me. I am generally shy and don’t talk much so I would like the opportunity to be able to speak up and make an impact.”
• “I want to help others out and being kind can really bring out the best in people.”
• “I can encourage students to do their best and help them if they need it in any way.”
• “I can help other students be leaders by helping them show the school values and leading by example.”

We are very proud of our Year 8 leaders and can't wait to see what they bring to the table!

• Bullying/Cyber bullying
• Laws around filming and sharing of images
• Social media usage
• Vaping
• Sexting
• Drugs

Blue Edge is back!

Are you interested in learning new skills? Would you like to be a part of an empowering and fun team? Are you keen to hang out with police?

Maybe you feel like you’re dragging your feet to get to school some days, or you have a love for fitness. You might have personal challenges going on. You could have an interest in leadership and personal growth and development.

If you are in Year 7, 8 or 9 and any of these sound like you, then we would love you to apply for this wonderful program.

Blue Edge will run during Term 2 and 3 every Friday morning at school. Sessions run for roughly 90 minutes and include themed workshops, fitness and team building activities and a shared breakfast. Their vision is to ‘inspire, engage and equip young people to be their best self’.

There are only 20 spaces available so if you’re interested and would like to know more, please visit your Hub for more info or call the College on 03 5150 4800.
