Year 11 Leadership Day

On Tuesday, August 5th, Year 11 students participated in a special Leadership Day designed to empower and equip them with essential skills for the future. The day was a fantastic opportunity for the students to build on their leadership abilities through a series of engaging activities and real world case scenarios, encouraging them to think critically and collaboratively.

A highlight of the day was a visit from the Liberal MP for Cook, Simon Kennedy. Simon Kennedy shared his personal journey, speaking to the girls about the importance of resilience, the power of inspiring others, and the different paths to leadership. His insights provided a valuable perspective on what it means to be a leader both within our community and beyond. The students were captivated by his stories and gained a deeper understanding of the challenges and rewards of leadership.

The program was developed to not only prepare students for leadership roles within the school but also to lay a strong foundation for their lives after graduation. The day was a resounding success, fostering a sense of confidence and purpose among our students. We are incredibly proud of the enthusiasm and commitment they showed and look forward to nurturing our students for future leadership opportunities here at Our Lady of Mercy Burraneer.
