Celebrating our student leaders

It takes a village to raise a child, and our student leadership inauguration at the beginning of the year is a poignant symbol of the journey our families share with the College in the development of tomorrow’s gentlemen.

Traditionally, the commissioning of the College captains is undertaken by the parents, carers or significant adult mentors at an assembly that celebrates the shared journey between the families and the school. This year was no exception, with the community gathering to honour the hard work and commitment of the elected prefects.

Glowing with pride, parents pinned the badges of service on their young men at the special ceremony held at the beginning of the school year, before Principal Mr Domenic Burgio led the guests to a celebratory morning tea.

The selection process for the student leaders involved a rigorous practice of leadership workshops and mentorship, with an exemplary history of service and commitment to all aspects of the College being a prerequisite to be included in the short list.

Candidates for the positions of College Captain and Vice Captain also deliver a speech to their peers to support their application, and the final decision is based on a balance of votes, proven track record and commitment to ensure an equitable and fair procedure.

Leadership skills at CBC are developed and encouraged from Year 7 through to the senior years, with opportunities to be involved in House meetings and volunteer for College activities and events regularly promoted to students as part of their development into CBC gentlemen.
