Leadership Camp

Last Sunday, 31 January, the Prefect group, accompanied by Miss Simons, Miss Packer and Mr Haynes, travelled to Moreton Island to partake in a leadership development and team building camp.

Over the three days, the Prefects underwent group development sessions, which allowed for important reflection and alignment on our strengths as a team. We were able to discuss the key values that resonated best with us, which provided direction for our initiatives and goals we have planned for 2021.

As part of these sessions, Dr Neil Carrington, CEO of Act for Kids, joined us to reinforce messages about leading self and others.

Along with our group discussions, the Prefect team participated in many activities on Moreton Island, which helped us come together as a team and get to know one another better. A highlight for many of us was the snorkelling around the wrecks, closely followed by the desert safari trip and wild dolphin feeding. It was an amazing experience to see Australian wildlife up close and personal whilst learning about them. These activities, along with the group development sessions, allowed for us to understand each other’s values on a deeper level, creating a strong family-like bond. This bond will allow for the success and precision of the Prefect group in the school’s centenary year.

The camp provided opportunity to build rapport with a foundation of trust and motivation to allow effective collaboration for the upcoming year ahead.

We would like to thank Miss Packer, Miss Simons, Miss Jordan, Mr Haynes and Dr Carrington for the opportunity and for organising the trip.

This year, the Prefect team’s goals include working towards unifying our school community and planning innovative initiatives for State High’s centenary year. We can’t wait to take on the year and put our goals into action.
