Leadership

House Captains

Whilst our Specialists Captains have the opportunity to speak at Assembly to promote their specialist areas, our House Captains also work hard behind-the-scenes. Recently they were involved in preparing for our Inter House Carnival; the House Captains dreamt of victory and wrote acceptance speeches, ready for their potential House win. In addition to this the House Captains reviewed their House chants, met the boys from Years 1 to 5 and led them in their respective chant practice. Guiding for practice can be a daunting charge, but they all stepped up to the task admirably. It was delightful to hear all the House chants sung around the school on Friday afternoon! Each fortnight at Assembly, the boys wait with bated breath to hear the House Point update. Following the outcome the winning House Captains are entrusted to coordinate their house, and lead the singing of the chant to celebrate their win – a lovely way to end the week.

Year 12 Leaders

Throughout the year, our Junior School Specialist and House Captains have the opportunity to meet with the Year 12 leaders. The purpose of these meetings is for the Year 12 leaders to share their thoughts on leadership, and to actively support the Year 5 boys in seeing the future stages of their leadership journey.

This Wednesday our current Year 12 leaders will meet with the Semester 2 Captains and take them on a tour to the new Mathematics and Commerce Building, whilst sharing their leadership journeys. I know the Year 5 boys are looking forward to the opportunity to speak to our outgoing Year 12 leaders and will be wishing them well for their upcoming exams, and future steps beyond Scotch College.
