Get to know our House Captains Alessia & Ella

What does servant leadership mean to you? 
Alessia:

Servant leadership to me means that as a leader you work for the people, as the leader you don’t boss people around and tell them what to do, but lead by example.

Ella:

Servant leadership means putting the needs, growth and well-being of others in the community ahead of yourself. It means to consider all of the people around you and the effects your actions could have on these people before making a decision. Selflessness, trust and generosity are some main concepts of servant leadership.

Why did you want to be part of the 2023 Leadership Team? 
Alessia:

I wanted to be a part of the 2023 Leadership Team because I enjoyed doing it last year, I wanted to show students that although I may not be the best at sports, I try my hardest and always participate and encourage my team. I want to encourage students to support their team and give things a go and I want to be able to help as many students as I can and encourage each student to participate in school events.

Ella:

I wanted to join the 2023 Leadership Team to make a difference in our school. I want to be a voice for those who feel they don't. By joining the Leadership Team, I can bring students ideas forward and develop change.

What is the legacy you wish to leave behind? 
Alessia:

The legacy I wish to leave behind is to show students that even if you may not be the best at a sport or a specific activity giving it a go, encouraging teammates, and teamwork is important
