...and the Sir Peter Blake Leadership Award goes to...Hannah Rose!

At today’s Leadership Assembly, Hannah Rose was awarded with the Sir Peter Blake Leadership Award. When considering students for this award we found Hannah to be an absolute stand-out for many reasons. Hannah is one of our wonderful Head Students. She displays the qualities of a leader through her own actions, conversations and her ability to work with others.

Steve Boocock from Westpac Bank presented Hannah with the Sir Peter Blake Leadership Award.

Hannah is:

* self-driven - she takes the initiative, is resourceful.
* thoughtful – she has the ability to analyse situations and make rational decisions.
* able to work well with others – she listens to their ideas and gives others the opportunity to lead.
* a great communicator with people of all ages.
* blessed with a great attitude to challenges.
* a high achiever – Hannah aims high and strives to be the best she can be in all areas, both academically as well as in the sports domain.
* respectful of others, on many levels and in many ways.

Congratulations, Hannah! You deserve all the success that comes your way. We look forward to watching you develop as a leader over the rest of 2015, into your secondary school years, and beyond!

Leadership Week continues

Leadership Week is on a roll...
are you organised for the Disco on Friday???

Dynamo Leader Workshop

On Monday afternoon Dynamo Leaders worked with Kaye Barnett. The focus was about leadership during lunchtime sports. Kaye asked us to gather around and talk about ways we could be better Dynamo leaders. We talked about ways to work with students, gear we could use in games and ways we could manage our games so that students listened to us and got involved.

Kaye said it was important to present ourselves as sporty. We drew pictures and recorded ideas for what to wear when we lead games and how to give clear instructions to students.

“I enjoyed playing the new games that Kaye taught us” – Claire

“I enjoyed drawing the pictures about what we should look like and the qualities we should model” – Asha

It was a really cool way to spend the afternoon and we now have lots of new ideas when we work with students at lunchtimes. Thanks KayeJ
