Issue 3 SJC News 2021

Earlier this term at Salesian College in Chadstone, The Associated Catholic Colleges (ACC) held the 2021 Student Leadership Launch. Our College Captain Oscar Morrison and Deputy College Captains William Baum and Benji Mangar attended. There are twelve schools associated with the ACC, De La Salle, Emmanuel College, Parade, Salesian College, Simonds Catholic College, St Bede’s College, St Josephs College in Ferntree Gully, St Mary’s College, Whitefriars and of cause our school. Each school’s student Captains presented a history of their school, unique qualities of their school as well as the specific student leadership structures. A very informative and productive evening was had by all.

The launch was an excellent opportunity for our leadership team to network and interact with like-minded students from across Victoria. Participating in a mass in which every school was involved provided us with a unique opportunity to come together through the faith that unites us as Catholic schools.

Joey's is successfully finding a way to implement positive change throughout the College by driving initiatives that are aimed towards producing fine young men, whilst enabling our students to have fun in the process. This is being spearheaded by the elected student leaders of the college, who are working hard behind the scenes to deliver beneficial and rewarding experiences to our peers that will not soon be forgotten.

The student leaders are most looking forward to coming back and working as a team, without COVID, the leaders are keen to implement some new ideas and initiatives to improve our community. We are very excited about this!

Reflections from Oscar, Benji & William.
