Year 11 Captains meet regularly with me to discuss their work within their leadership portfolios and their ideas for building positive school culture. These meetings are fun, open, and a joy to host. Our young people are living in interesting times, and complexities abound, and yet, I am constantly reassured by the optimism and positivity our students display. One new initiative worth celebrating is the inclusion of a ‘Captain’s Corner Spot’ as a regular feature of each High School Assembly; a time set aside to hear from a Captain about their story, what motivates them in school, and how this relates to the School’s values. I am hopeful that these student-led voices become a values tradition within our Assembly format.
