The college has chosen Lachie Wilde and Claudia Schneider as captains and Rebekah Reichenbach and Mitchell Meek as vice-captains.
Lachie said being a school captain was something he always wanted to do, ever since he was little.
“I love leadership and responsibility, so when I was lucky enough to receive the honour of being school captain, I felt as if I was the right person for the job,” he said.
Lachie said both captains and vice-captains worked together as a team.
“I try my best to display positivity and maintain exemplary behaviour at all times,” he said.
Lachie said being a captain was extremely important.
“It prepares you for when you leave school,” he said.
“You enhances your abilities throughout your leading period.
“For me personally, one of these abilities is to lead in general – it can seem quite challenging to get up there and be the one that students look up to, but your ability to lead enhances without you even noticing.
“So when you leave school, if you have a job that requires you to work in a team, you would have already done it before and you already have that skills set through the leadership roles.”
Claudia said she wanted to be school captain to make a difference within in school.
I've always looked up to the school captains throughout my schooling and aspired to be like them,” she said.
“I hope I can be someone that younger students look up to.”
Claudia said the responsibilities of the captains was to represent the school at events such as Anzac Day, run school assemblies and a year 7 mentor program and being a liaison between teachers and students.
“I believe that it's important to take on leadership positions to help build self confidence and help make an difference within your school or community,” she said.
