Falling Forward Award – James Stuart
This year, the Yr 12 Leadership Team has started a new award – the Falling Forward Award. This award is given to a student who has been nominated by peers or teachers for incredible effort and for “falling forward” into a challenge. James has been recognised this week for his effort over the last several weeks (and months) in the Musical. In a very short time, he was asked to memorise several additional understudy roles and the cast and crew have been overly thankful and appreciative of his willingness to embrace this opportunity. There was an overwhelming round of applause when James received this award on Tuesday at the Yr 10-12 Student-Led Assembly – Congratulations, James!

International Women’s Day Breakfast
Reflection by Daisy Thomas:
” Last Wednesday morning, Ruby Voyce and I were invited to an International Women’s Day breakfast with some of the Year 12 leaders, Ms Matthews, Ms Martin and Ms Green. The breakfast was hosted at the Fullerton Hotel by Shivani Gopal’s company Elladex. We heard from Shivani herself as well as Naomi Simson, Faustina ‘fuzzy’ Agolley and Marina Go. All of these women had different backgrounds and career paths, but all shared the determination and desire to achieve. It was incredibly interesting to listen to their advice, struggles and experiences in overcoming adversity.
The agreed response to ‘cracking the code’ was more representation of women. If we see women achieving in all careers and in multiple areas of life then we are more likely to set higher standards and goals for ourselves. Investing in and providing opportunities for women was also a very discussed topic, it only makes sense to invest in us and there are only benefits. If opportunities and resources are given to women then we will achieve and be closer to equality and equity for women. Additionally, Marina Go provided some insightful advice about telling people what you want to achieve, if nobody knows what you want to achieve then they are unable to help you. We are very grateful for this wonderful and prescient morning which encouraged thoughtful discussion between us. ”
