Senior Student Leadership

Hello everyone! Term 1 has had amazingly fruitful results for our Delahey student leaders; we have eagerly acted upon and organised many initiatives which we believe have enhanced the school for the student body. Our great team of Year 11 and Year 12 student leaders have worked immensely hard to deliver school spirit - our main value and goal - through thoughtful and fun events. Here are some of the amazing things we have achieved and established in the first term of school:

Harmony Day 

On Friday the 24th of March, the student leadership team organised 'Harmony Day' at the Delahey Campus. With Todd Truong, our college captain, MC'ing the event, we brought forward amazing and beautiful cultural performances (from Pacific Islander culture, K-pop, Japanese music, etc.), accentuating the diversity of Copperfield College. On this day, we particularly celebrated the depth of our multiculturalism and the vast variety of countries of origins that students come from by dressing up in their heritage clothes. We also had 'The Kebab Man' come to the school, selling tasty food through their food truck. We raised more than two hundred dollars for the Red Cross Foundation, with funds going towards supporting the Turkey and Syrian earthquakes. It was a very successful day, in which the student leadership team aimed to up student enjoyment at school by embracing cultural diversity.

Valentine's Day

On Tuesday the 14th of February, the student leadership team hastily prepared a very successful and fun Valentine's Day event, providing a lovely and lively atmosphere. Decorating the study centre with love-related items, we organised a photo booth which students greatly enjoyed, with props a plenty to pose with friends, cherishing the interpersonal relationships we have with each other, both at school and in the community. We also had a few live performances by students to create ambience, which was well-received by all members of the school community. 

Student Leadership Wall and Suggestions Box

Throughout Term 1, the student leadership team felt that there was a lack of student voice at the Delahey campus. Stemming from this issue, we established a spread in the Study Centre catering specifically for student leadership to be utilised for multiple purposes; this wall acts as a notice for students about future events, and includes fun amenities, such as a 'motivational quote of the week', contact details to College Captains and SRC and Student Leaders, and important monthly dates. We have also created a suggestions box for students to project their voice and opinions. We take these into consideration and work hard to address anything conveyed by students at the school, encouraging student involvement and participation,

We would like to greatly thank Mr Cutajar for working closely with us and helping to coordinate student leadership, the Campus Leaders for liaising with us, the Campus Principals for helping us organise events school-wide, and most importantly, the student body for supporting our student leadership initiatives. 

Please anticipate many more events for Term 2! Have a safe holidays, and we look forward to a great rest of year.

Kind regards,

Todd Truong, College Captain on behalf of the student leadership team.
