School captains – Chloe Best and Raphu Herbohn, also took on other roles in the leadership with Chloe taking on the role of Student Representative Council (SRC) President and one of the Paterson House captains, while Raphu was also sworn in as Kendall House Captain.

Other Leadership Team members included Noah Kielly (Kendall House Captain), Chantelle Berry (Paterson House Captain), Kahlen Garrett and Kaitlyn Emery (Gordon House Captains), Mystique Lemire (SRC Secretary) and Cain Saunders (SRC Treasurer).

The School Oath, undertaken by the Leadership Team was first taken in 1987 and has been a vital part of the Leadership Team induction since.

The 2023 Senior Students were presented with their Senior badges.

Acting Principal, Mr Damien Kelso said leadership was more than a badge.

“Leadership is underpinned by stepping away from our immediate needs to positively impact and serve others. Through your leadership may others feel cared for, inspired, more purposeful and significant,” he said.

He said while only a few Senior students held formal titles, all seniors would be challenged with leading by example and inspiring the student population to strive for excellence.
