At our Year 12 Final Assembly, we took the opportunity to recognise and thank our current student leaders for the dedication, service, and leadership they have demonstrated throughout the year. Through their commitment and integrity, they have made a significant contribution to our school community and have represented MECS with distinction.

It was then my great privilege to announce the 2027 Student Leadership Team. In a symbolic handover, the 2026 leaders presented certificates to the incoming leaders, passing on the responsibility and privilege of student leadership. We look forward to seeing how this new team will serve, inspire, and lead the MECS community in the year ahead.

School Captains: Judah F & Olivia O

Judah is a young man whose growing faith in Jesus shapes both his character and leadership. Thoughtful, approachable, and people-focused, he leads with humility and integrity, takes initiative when opportunities arise, and inspires others to get involved. His commitment to the MECS community make him a positive influence among his peers and a worthy representative of our student body.

Olivia is a young woman of strong faith, known for her maturity, patience, and servant-hearted approach to leadership. She consistently puts others first, caring deeply for those around her and seeking to honour God in all she does. Through her example, she is a positive influence and a valued role model for younger students.

School Vice-Captains: Aelwyn C & Mia B

Both Aelwyn and Mia demonstrate genuine faith, humility and a heart to serve. They are generous with their time and gifts, striving to ensure that everyone feels welcome and heard, demonstrating compassion and empathy.

SRC leaders: Ollie S & Eli R

Ollie and Eli have already proven themselves to be passionate advocates for their peers during their time at MECS. Respected and valued by students across all year levels, they are committed to ensuring every student feels heard, known, and valued. They have a genuine desire to create opportunities for younger students to share their ideas and know that their voices matter.

Arts Captain: Leila H

Across all her years at MECS, Leila has contributed widely to both performing and visual Arts. Her desire is to use the gifts God has given to cultivate an even more vibrant MECS community that glorifies God’s kingdom.

In addition to these, at a recent senior secondary assembly the following students were announced as our Tribal leaders for 2027:

We are grateful to God for these students who have a heart to serve the MECS community. We thank God for their leadership gifts, their desire to build others up and grow the community both inside and outside of MECS. We pray that they may lead with wisdom, serve with humility, act with integrity, and so honour God in their respective roles.
