Student Leadership
A Welcome From Our Student Leaders
Dear Students, Staff, Parents, Guardians and surrounding Community,
Our names are Adam, Anusha, Kennice, Vinze and Melanie, and we are overjoyed to be announced as your four College Captains and SRC President, respectively in 2018.
Being part of such an esteemed leadership team next year, we are honoured to represent you and give back to a college with such a diverse and accepting culture. Looking back on our time here at Hampton Park Secondary College, we have come to appreciate the opportunities we are given in all aspects of school life, and with persistence and determination we are eager to leave a lasting legacy by completing all of our aims and ambitions.
Our roles are more than just a badge and spruce blazers, for we see this as an opportunity to share all of what we have envisioned, as well as a chance to do something we are passionate about through our passion projects, and fund-raising events. WE WILL do everything we can to bring a balanced view of the school and a recognition for everything it offers. WE WILL strive to build closer, better and stronger relationships. And WE WILL help to develop and showcase all of the talent within the College. In our time we will learn an abundance of new skills and aim to apply them to our roles that are not only an honour to us but also our greatest pleasure to be blessed with. After nearly 5 years at the College, we cannot think of anything that we are more dedicated to than this school we have come to view as a second home, and we cannot wait to share our journey with everyone.
To fulfill our goals, we as College Captains and SRC President would love the opportunity to listen to any and all feedback you have throughout the year, and prepared to approach all challenges that may arise, with dedication, an open mind and, commitment. In doing so, we hope to be positive leaders and excellent role models for our peers, whilst making the College full of as many opportunities we are grateful to have had.
We promise that 2018 will be full of achievements and memories that will be everlasting. Our passion projects have been developed from our hearts and minds, and we are committed to bringing our ideas to life, as this is the one of the main reasons we have applied for this leadership position. We hope to make our projects recognisable and worth every little bit of time and effort, and align them all to our College's core values of Respect, Learning and Working Together. As this will be an area in which we put a key focus in, we will be excited to commence our projects at the start of 2018.
Finally, we would just like to say that it is impossible to measure our gratitude for being able to share this once in a lifetime opportunity with everyone involved with Hampton Park Secondary College. We, the school captains, would like to give a massive thank you to everyone who supported and believed in us, words can't accurately describe how excited and overwhelmed we are feeling. As not just a team but as a family, we would love to share with you a quote from Martin Luther King Jr. A quote in which has been used as our inspiration, but has been used as a basis for what we aim to achieve in the quickly approaching 2018. “Take the first step in faith. You don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.”
All the best,
Your Leadership Team 2018
Vinze Benitez, Kennice Dionisio, Anusha Sharma, Adam Stonard, and Melanie Naujok.
