STUDENT LEADERSHIP SYNERGY<br />
There was a buzz in the room; an atmosphere of quite excitement.<br />
Groups of students were standing in circles chatting and eating<br />
breakfast.<br />
This occasion was the first Synergy Leadership Breakfast for 2013.<br />
<strong>Drouin</strong>’s <strong>College</strong> Captains joined student leaders from Warragul<br />
Regional <strong>College</strong>, Trafalgar High School, Neerim & District <strong>Secondary</strong><br />
<strong>College</strong>, St Paul’s Anglican Grammar, Marist Sion Catholic <strong>College</strong><br />
and Chairo Christian School who generously hosted the event,<br />
providing a delicious breakfast and warm hospitality.<br />
Students from each school spoke about their goals as leaders and the<br />
challenges they faced in their roles. It was very interesting to hear the<br />
different approaches each team were taking and the various ways<br />
they were working within their schools.<br />
<strong>Drouin</strong> <strong>Secondary</strong> <strong>College</strong> Captains, Kylie DiCarlo, Nick Derrick and<br />
Harry Hearn, spoke about their work with the SRC, their leadership of<br />
Assemblies and the Environmental Team. As the speakers presented it<br />
was obvious they have much in common in their experiences.<br />
The guest speaker was a young man who had been in a similar role<br />
in Year 12 last year. His message was that one major challenge for<br />
student leaders is keeping a balance between study and leadership<br />
while still enjoying their interests and passions.<br />
We look forward to the next Synergy Breakfast which will be hosted<br />
by the Baw Baw Shire in August.<br />
