The Year 11 students travelled to Sommerville Park (eastern side of Storm King Dam) for their Leadership Camp on Thursday 29th and Friday 30th October.

Tents were pitched and swags unfurled before the group were invited to reflect on a variety of Leadership styles, including Servant Leadership, Collaborative and Transformative Leadership. Reflections were led by Mrs Kirby and Mrs Ellis.

Mr Citrigno led a session on personal behaviours and how students are challenged to change the things that aren’t working for them and to begin relating to teachers as young adults.

In between discussions, they managed time for fishing, walking around the dam, climbing the Pyramids, and swimming in the waterhole at Girraween National Park.

Mrs Ellis catered for the camp and apart from a little hiccup with the spaghetti bolognese, the food was delicious. The venue was superb and the company was great.

Judging by the feedback the students gave to each other on the last day, St Joseph’s can look forward to an awesome Year 12 Leadership Group who will build and grow our school community.
