Leadership by the River Workshop

Recently a group of Year 11 students attended the ‘Leadership by the River' workshop.  Guest speakers included Jayne Azzopardi from Channel 9 News, former St George Dragons player Dan Hunt and, Nick Smith, current Team Leader of the Sydney Swans.

The guest speakers spoke about skills that were needed to make a great leader. They shared their success stories as well as their stories of overcoming failure. There was a Question & Answer session where students had the opportunity to ask questions, take photographs and request autographs.

Leadership by the River was a great way to develop leadership skills by engaging with the leaders from public schools. We participated in many activities and met local inspirational people and heard their stories. Along with leadership skills I also enhanced communication and public speaking skills. It was an enjoyable experience. Pooja Year 11

Our students worked with local primary schools to develop a project to mentor primary school leaders.
