College Captains book 2019

Highlight of my Captaincy - Kydra Walden The highlight of my Captaincy was the Salvation Army’s Red Shield Appeal breakfast. It was inspiring hearing the efforts made by the Salvation Army to impact the lives of those less fortunate. It was eye-opening to see the true extent of the homeless crisis on the Gold Coast. Highlight of my Captaincy - Alexandra Gerrard The main highlight for me was a breakfast that we were honoured enough to be invited to for the Salvation Army. Whilst we were there, we listened to the story of a man called Andrew Archer, who had overcome extreme adversity to become the incredible man he is today. Hearing his story was inspiring and it encouraged me to not only live my life to the full but also inspire others around me to do the same. Unexpected things that happened during my Captaincy - Kydra Walden I was given the opportunity to go on the College’s first ever trip to Myall Creek. I can honestly say that the Mayall Creek trip was a highlight of my Senior schooling and for anyone reading this I hope grasp the opportunity should it come your way. It’s a trip that has to be experienced as words don’t do it justice. Unexpected things that happened during my Captaincy - Alexandra Gerrard One of the biggest things that I never expected to happen would be the change in the student leadership system and having the opportunity to mentor the College Captain-elects. It is very exciting times and I cannot wait to have the chance to get to know the College Captains for 2019. As well as this, I never thought I’d get the chance to go and see the Queensland government in action or have the opportunity to meet some very influential people and yet all of this has happened because of my position as College Captain. The unexpected things can sometimes turn out to be some of the best memories you make throughout the year.
