Student Voice at work

Captains' Conference Term 4

Our Captains were hard at work in their final conference for 2017, as they prepared for the Meliora Sequamur Awards, reviewed their year and workshopped future opportunities for Student Voice. They also played an important role in consulting on Northcote spaces and places, engaging in a nomenclature (naming) activity and then working with Baldasso Cortese, the architects appointed for our Masterplan, to explain their favourite - and least favour - areas on campus. They certainly had some valuable feedback and interesting ideas about how we could develop NHS.

We are also seeking your feedback in the Masterplan process. See 'Building NHS' in this and the previous newsletter, or complete the survey here:    https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/2017NHSMasterplan

Nominations open for 2018 leadership positions

Year levels and Connect groups will soon receive information about how to apply for 2018 student leadership positions. As well as our Year Level Captains, there are opportunities for students to take up roles as Sports and House Captains, as well as in Music.  As this year's Captains advise, "don't let the opportunity slip by": "if you want to make change, now is the time".  We encourage all interested students to pick up an application form from their sub-school office.

There are also many opportunties for students to demonstrate leadership outside of the formal Captain's roles. Last week at the Meliora Sequamur awards we celebrated leaders in Clubs, Debating, Sports coaches, in the classroom and of their peers - see the article in this newsletter for the details and nominees.
