Year 10 Student Leader: Chantelle R

Q1. What does servant leadership mean to you?

Servant leadership means to do my best to fulfill and accommodate the needs of others. By being a servant leader, I can put the needs of others before my own and can contribute ideas to benefit others.  

Q2. Why did you want to be a part of the 2022 student leadership team?

I wanted to be a member of the 2022 student leadership team as I wanted to use my leadership experience to make an impact on our school community by contributing my ideas to the team. I wanted to be able to be a voice for the student body and use my morals and values to be a positive role-model for others.  

Q3. What is your role in the leadership team? And what are your responsibilities?

My position in the Student Leadership Team is a Year 10 Level Leader. My role in this position is to act as a role model for all students by inspiring them to living out our College motto of ‘Living Fully and Acting Justly’. I am a representative of the student body and can address the needs of the students. I am also involved with working towards improving aspects of the school by contributing my ideas and voicing my opinions about various issues. I have also participated in various events throughout the year which have included college tours, raising the flags and being on Sports Equipment Duty.  

Q4. What is a goal you would like to achieve this year in the leadership team?

A goal that I had this year was to create a proposal idea that, if actioned will benefit the staff and students at our college.  

Q5. What is the legacy you wish to leave behind?

The legacy that I wish to leave behind at this college is to inspire students to never give up and to continue to strive as leaders in their own way. I would like to encourage all students to try their best in all that they do and to be persistent especially when they are presented with challenges.  

Q6. What are some exciting projects or proposals the leadership team are currently that you are passionate about? Is there something new that you would like to introduce?

There are many exciting proposals that the leadership team are currently working on, but a few of them that I am interested in include the celebration of cultural diversity and the Year 9 and 10 Wellbeing Day. I believe that these proposal ideas will benefit the students at the College by build stronger awareness and sense of belonging and community. Although, I have had the privilege of working on two proposal ideas, which have both been approved and implemented at the College. These proposals include improving the cafeteria line system and implementing a Footy Colours Day.

Year 10 Student Leader: Joaquin S

Q1. What does servant leadership mean to you? 

It's mainly about giving back giving back to the community, improving the quality of the school and leaving a good impression upon the people so that they’re able to do the same upon future students. 

Q2. Why did you want to be a part of the 2022 student leadership team? 

I wanted to provide for the community and have an input on major aspects of the CRCCS calendar and campus. Going to meeting every week is quite eye opening to the hard work leadership behind improving CRC and wanted to be a part of that, improving it myself. 
 
Q3. What is your role in the leadership team? And what are your responsibilities? 

I’m one of the year 10 leaders. I’m mainly there for general help with regular leadership responsibilities plus a second opinion on year 10 specific events; a notable one being organising the year 10 formal. 
 
Q4. What is a goal you would like to achieve this year in the leadership team? 

I want to help out CRCCS as much as I can, even if that may be small. I want to be a leader that’s approachable and seen not as someone above them, but someone they can talk to 
 
Q5. What is the legacy you wish to leave behind? 

Although being remembered may be desired by some, I personally don’t entirely care about my legacy, just so long as it's good. As someone who honestly quite minor in the leadership team, I don’t expect there to be something I’m remembered for but nonetheless I still strive to make a difference.   
 
Q6. What are some exciting projects or proposals the leadership team are currently that you are passionate about? Is there something new that you would like to introduce? 

The proposals brought forth by students are an important part of developing the school as time progresses. One proposal that I like that is currently being worked on is one regarding a cultural diversity day. With a diverse place like Australia, it’s important to recognise the different paths of students and our shared home here.
