Year 11 students have begun the application process to become a member of the 2026\/2027 Senior Leadership Team and shortly candidates will have the opportunity to address College members in our Principal and House Assemblies. It has been rewarding to meet with so many of our students and hear about their ideas, goals and aspirations.<\/span><\/p>\n

While our official leadership positions play a vital and visible part in the life of our College, every student in our College plays an important role. Our captains and senior student leadership team set an example, but they are only one part of a much bigger picture. Every student contributes to the culture of our school through her actions, her attitude, and the way she treats others.<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the core messages we strive to instil in every senior student at MSCW is that everyone is a leader. Leadership is not limited to badges, titles, or positions. It is not something reserved for a select few. True leadership is found in the choices we make every day and it takes place in our actions, our words, and the way we treat others.<\/span><\/p>\n

We remind all our students that leadership begins with kindness. It shows itself in the courage to include someone who feels left out, the maturity to admit mistakes and learn from them, the strength to stand up for what is right, and the generosity to help without being asked. These are some of the qualities that shape strong character and contribute to our MSCW community.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some of the greatest leaders in history didn\u2019t wear a badge or hold a formal role. They led quietly, consistently, and with integrity. True leaders do the right thing even when it is difficult and even when no one is watching.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is the kind of leadership we want for every student at MSCW – leadership that is grounded in compassion, responsibility, and respect. When students understand that they each have the capacity to lead, they begin to see themselves differently. They grow in confidence, realising their gifts and are empowered to fulfil their full potential as a Marist woman of action.<\/span><\/p>\n

We are proud of the many ways our students already show leadership across the College, and we will continue to nurture and grow these qualities in every girl, every day.<\/span><\/p>\n

God Bless,<\/span><\/p>\n
