Deputy Principal's Report

2020 Leadership Induction

On Tuesday, 15 October we inducted our Student Leaders for 2020.  It provided us with an opportunity to acknowledge the enormous contribution made by our student leaders from 2019 as they passed the baton to those girls who have the opportunity to lead the school next year.  The occasion was attended by all staff and students, with parents of the incoming student leaders also invited to attend.

On the day, the symbolic handover of leadership was done through the passing of school symbols, as well as through actions.  Incoming School Captain, Bridie Wilcox spoke, reminding the College not just of the challenges that school presents, but the great gifts we have as a community that allow us to meet these challenges.  These included our ‘strength, kindness, friendship, and community’, and that we should capitalise on these to make 2020 a year to remember.  Ms Filina Virgato, College Principal, spoke of the honour of leadership; whilst it is indeed an honour to lead, it is a greater honour to serve, and she called upon our leaders of 2020 to do just that.

Next year provides, as always, an opportunity for all PCW girls to grow. Irrespective of the circumstances, this remains true; nevertheless, 2020 may just be the most authentic realisation of that for the girls of PCW as they work to carry on the PCW tradition and spirit.  In this, our leaders carry a great deal of responsibility and I have the greatest confidence that they will not just perform, but excel. We wish them all the best for the year ahead.
