Student Leadership

Say No To Bullying

On the 16th of March, our College stood up and united in our community to celebrate the eighth National Day of Action against Bullying and Violence. The college celebrated it by hosting short films to be screened in the RPAC, presenting videos involving around anti-bullying, making an impact, acceptance, love and friendship. Along with this, informative posters were placed around the college and wristbands were given to students and staff. To emphasis more the importance of Say No to Bullying, there will be a Peer Support session that will be focused on building positive relationships and preventing bullying for the Year 7s. Massive thank you to Ms Dennis, and Ms Gina Harrex, for their consistent support for this event.

Harmony Day

On 21st of March, our college celebrated Harmony Day by having a flag guessing competition and an Instaframe. These events were successful as the younger year levels came at lunch time to guess some of the hardest flags. Along with that, the instaframe was toured around the school for students and staff to take photos with. It was wonderful to see so many students participating in those events and amazing to see the students promoting Harmony Day within our community.

House Captains Report

During weeks 7 and 8 of this term, our House Captains focused on building up our House spirit through their leadership of whole school events. Firstly, on Friday 9th March, we had a whole school Mini House Carnival. The intention of this was to build up House celebrations and recognition before the Swimming Carnival, which was the following Tuesday.

House Captains worked closely with their teacher House Leaders

Mr L Cusack (Fordholm)

Ms Dawson (Regans)

Mr Illangakoon (Somerville)

Mr Christiansen (Cairns)

to ensure that students from years 7 to 12 felt included and encouraged to get involved in support for their House.  

 

Read on for our individual House Captain reports! 

Fordholm

 We worked hard to attack everyone with zinc, face paint and wrist bands to show off all the green we could. We were especially impressed with the number of people who could recite our Fordholm chant. For future events, we’d like to a higher number of Fordholm students participating!

 

Regans

As Regan's house captains we were very impressed with our overall performance at swimming and house carnival. We hope to keep this momentum and possibly win more house events, and we urge you to keep getting involved and participate in as many house events .We would like to thank everyone who participated in the activities great job to everyone who participated and helped Regans win!

 

Somerville

Somerville really impressed the school with lots of amazing house spirit and positive energy during the Mini Houses Carnival with the popular watermelon eating contest and face painting. This great momentum shined into the following week’s swimming carnival as Somerville came 2nd overall. With the amazing amount of Somerville students dressing up in any red or in costumes it was great to see,  but we hope to see more participation costume making in future house events to put Somerville rightfully in the lead!
