As part of our College's comprehensive support system we have several student groups with specific responsibilities amongst their peers.
Students appreciate the chance to be involved in a helpful way in the support of each other. Training is provided and accessed for these groups and in most cases there is affiliation with community organisations.
Student Executive and House Captains
This is an elected body, which comprises the student leaders of the school. All positions are gained by application and preliminary shortlisting by the appropriate Dean and senior management. In some cases this involves individual interviews with the Principal, Deputy Principal and Dean.
Leadership training for the Student Executive and House Captains begins every year with a training camp and a team building day. Deputy Principal Gabrielle Clark is in charge of overseeing Student Executive projects and activities.YEAR 13 EXECUTIVE
