Our Year 7 and Year 8 Class Captains attended a full-day leadership seminar on Friday 5 May called ‘Maximising the Badge’. The seminar was organised by the yLead organisation and it focused on their philosophy that ‘leadership is more than a badge, it’s about the action that makes the world you touch a better place’.
During the seminar, the students learned about leadership, built their confidence, improved their skills, and worked together to strengthen group cohesion, unity, and shared vision.
Here are some student reflections from our Class Captains:
It was a fun day. The team-building games were the best. What I think I will take away from it is that being Class Captain is a big responsibility and that we have to be good role models.
— Josh Locantio (Year 7 Purple)
The Class Captain Program was about taking leadership, how we as Class Captains can lead others and how we set examples for others. It was a perfect chance to get to know other Class Captains. We played many fun games and activities that involved teamwork. Overall, it was a great experience and I enjoyed it very much.
— Ezekiel Villani (Year 8 Blue)
The Year 7 and 8 Class Captains were given the opportunity to participate in a Leadership Day which involved many activities that helped us develop our leadership and team-building skills. The most important aspects of the day revolved around what it meant to be a good leader and the various qualities that a leader should possess. I learnt that a leader should be a good listener, show respect for everyone, have good self-awareness and be able to step up and lead at any opportunity. Overall, it was a fun day and I liked that we could connect with other Class Captains and learn from each other's experiences.
