AMICA Leaders are “Sisters for Life”

Our Year 10 AMICA Leaders have been essential in supporting their Year 7 ‘little sisters’ in the transition to high school. 

On the first day of high school, Amica Leaders along with their House CoCaptains and House Liturgy Captains led various orientation activities to help their ‘little sisters’ adjust to life at MSCW. Some of these activities included “getting to know you” games, “who’s who” at the College to identify key staff members in our community, tours of the College grounds, tips and tricks on how to read their timetables, using the College diary and much more. 

Further to this, Amica Leaders also led Peer Support activities during the Year 7 Welcome Afternoon and Evening, supporting their Year 7 Amica groups to work together, identify their strengths, establish healthy relationships and maintain a positive attitude. 

AMICA leaders have continued to build a safe and positive environment and welcome Year 7 as ‘little sisters’ outside of structured sessions by guiding many when lost, listening to concerns or worries, supporting Years 7s to solve problems that arise, making a welcome space for their ‘little sisters’ and sharing in their House spirit during Tutor Group, House gatherings and College events.  

Amica Leaders have established long lasting connections with their ‘little sisters’ and have built relationships in the spirit of care and respect for each other. The 2023 Amica Leaders truly are “Sisters for Life”.
