School Captains

Jas and Lucas


Hi everybody! We are Jas Underwood and Lucas Simon, Maffra Secondary College’s 2021 School Captains. We just wanted to write a letter to all students, parents and carers to say how excited we are about this year. We are grateful for this opportunity of being able to represent Maffra Secondary College and hope to make a positive influence on the school over this year. Currently, we are in the planning stages of some awesome events for students to take part in. We have also used a survey to ask questions surrounding how we should work to improve the school this year and collected responses from the student body. These responses will be the foundation of some of the improvements we plan to make as captains and allow us to exercise our role as being the student voice of Maffra Secondary. At the moment, we plan to have an instalment in each school newsletter where we talk about what we and the student leadership team are getting up to during the year .As Year 12’s we recently had the opportunity of having a Big Day Out at Lakes Entrance. The day was so much fun! We took part in some team-building activities, allowing us to work on our communication skills while having a bit of a laugh. As part of that, we had a sandcastle building competition which was a bit of a throwback to being a little kid again. The results of the competition were very creative, including: a 3 meter-flatty, a living room, a mermaid and a very beautiful woman. After this, we wrote letters to ourselves which were sealed up and put away so that we can open them up again on the night of our Val at the end of this year. This proved to be an awesome activity for us to get chatting about our feelings about the year ahead and how we think we’ll cope. It also gave us a bit of a light at the end of the tunnel, something to look forward to opening when this is all over! 

We’re really excited about our ideas for this year and hope that you enjoy our leadership!
