When we arrived, we had the chance to mingle with student leaders from a range of Sydney Catholic schools. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Co-Captains of St Ursula, opened the conference with a \u2018This or That\u2019 icebreaker, which was a fun and relaxed way to get to know one another. After a group photo, we found seats and settled in to listen to the first speaker.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Danielle Cronin, the Executive Director of Sydney Catholic Schools, spoke to us about her experiences in leadership. She shared insights into the challenges she has faced, the importance of staying true to your values, spoke about how to be a successful leader and other individuals who have been successful in leadership. Her message encouraged us to think about the kind of leaders we want to be.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following Danielle Cronin, leaders from St Mary\u2019s Cathedral College and St Ursula\u2019s spoke about their different leadership styles. Throughout both talks, all of us leaders had the opportunity to ask questions. Finally, as table groups we completed three activities which involved us discussing the array of different initiatives each school has.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a
