Year 11 Leadership Days

Year 11 students recently embarked on an exciting two-day leadership retreat, beginning at Teen Ranch in Cobbity. Students challenged themselves with horse riding, giant swings, bush skills, and a challenging course, all designed to push them outside their comfort zones. Through these activities, they learned the importance of encouragement and teamwork.

The second day was spent at school, where students reflected on their leadership qualities and values. They discussed various leadership styles, including servant, autocratic, transactional, and transformative leadership. This reflection helped students understand different approaches to leadership and how they can apply them within the College community.

This retreat marked the commencement of the leadership process for Year 11 students at the College. It was an invaluable experience, helping students grow both as individuals and as leaders, ready to take on future challenges with confidence and compassion.
