It is with great pleasure that we announce our 2023 School Captains. Our School Captain selection this year began with all Year 9 – 11 students having the opportunity to nominate a student they believed had the character and ability to be a great student leader.
We received 53 responses who identified 19 individual students, and each nominating student answered a series of questions about the person they had nominated.
When our students spoke about their fellow students, they said things like:
“…simply is always willing to serve other people, regardless of the situation…”
“…one of the kindest, friendliest people I know…”
“…will… serve the school with determination and dignity…”
“…what stands out to me the most is their love for God…”
It was wonderful to read the commendations that were made and the evidence of how students are seen and respected by their own peers.
Our staff then had the opportunity to give feedback on the nominations and from the two sources of information - peers and staff - we narrowed the field down to a short list for interviews with the Heads of 7-9 & 10-12 and Mrs Letcher.
After this exhaustive process, we have our final four! We know they have the respect of their peers, the praise of their teachers and the courage to be willing to serve and put others before themselves.
We therefore wish to congratulate our new College Captains, Kalani Boothby and Zion Tun, and our new College Vice-Captains, Anna Rodrigues Vance and Sasha Chehade.
