Last week, all Year 10 students took part in a Leadership Day designed to strengthen their leadership skills and attributes as they move into their senior years at the College. Many students in the cohort will soon be volunteering on Education Outdoors programs, supporting younger students on camps, and it is important that they continue to step up as positive role models around the College.

The day began with a presentation from the Head of Education Outdoors, Mr Jono Sullivan, who spoke about the key mindsets, skills, and behaviours expected of student leaders. Students then moved to the oval to participate in a series of teamwork activities. Their challenge was not only to complete each task, but also to learn how to facilitate it, as they would later be leading the same activities for the Year 6 students.

After recess, the Year 10 and Year 6 groups met at Scotch Oakburn Park, where the older students took on the responsibility of guiding the younger students through the activities.

Overall, it was a very successful day. The Year 10 students gained genuine, hands-on leadership experience, while the Year 6 students enjoyed fun, engaging activities that challenged their teamwork skills.
