National Young Leaders Day 2017

   /   
Leaders are not simply born. Through practical and inspirational experiences we can provide opportunities to unlock future leadership potential. May 29th was one of these chances.

A group of our Year 7 and 8 boys went to the Town Hall to participate in the National Young Leaders Day event with hundreds of other students. 

The objectives of the day were:

  • Inspiration

  • Connection

  • Student empowerment

  • Promoting positivity

  • Motivation

  • Education

When asked what the highlights of their day or the most important take home message was the boys were quick to respond:

“ It was a really fun day, totally exceeding our expectations. There was such a variety of interesting speakers to inspire us”.

Some of the key messages that came out of the day were

  • No matter who you are, or what you look like you can change the world.

  • I am a seed born of greatness.

  • Impossibility is only someone’s opinion, not a fact.

  • The more shots you take, the more shots you get in.

  • Treat others the way you want to be treated.

  • Don’t let people push you around.

  • Challenge your thinking.

  • You become like the people you spend time with, so choose who you spend time with carefully.

  • Never give up the things you are good at.

  • You can leave the world a better place than you found it.
