Year 11 Leadership Action workshop: Creating a positive impact through role modelling

This fortnight, students, staff and community have the opportunity to reflect on the theme of true greatness focusing on the teachings of Luke 22:24-27, where Jesus served as a powerful reminder of the qualities we strive to embody, in particular serving for each other. This message encourages students to view leadership as an opportunity to serve others and make a positive impact through role modelling.

Last Wednesday, 17th July, our Year 11 students participated in their final Leadership in Action workshop before officially commencing their leadership application process for formal leadership, commencing 2025.

The workshop had a strong focus on sharing ideas, goals and areas of action for 2025.  The workshop was capably led by this year’s College and Action Captains.  The collaborative environment in which the workshop was delivered, fostered a sense of community, mutual support and highlighted the importance of working together to achieve goals and actions set for their final year as Pacific students. The workshop concluded with Year 11 students trying on their jersey sizes and enjoying a pizza lunch together, and a well contested Year 11 vs. Year 12 basketball game during the break period.  Although the Year 12s were victorious, the Year 11s completed the Leadership workshop united with a sense of excitement for what is to come in their final year as Pacific students.

Year 11 students interested in applying for leadership positions are invited to complete their Leadership booklets and submit their applications either in hard copy or electronically to the main office by Wednesday 31st July. Interviews will commence in Week 5.  We wish all Year 11 students the very best, as they begin the transition to being the leading cohort of the College.
