Melton Christian College have selected the new faces for its 2022 Student Senate Team.
The student senate is a group of year 11 and 12 student leaders who display leadership gifts and who set a good example to others.
The Student Senate is given the opportunity to serve the Melton Christian College community in a leadership capacity in various ways.
They may be involved in special projects in the school, work with younger groups of students, or support community-based projects.
Year 11 student Jack Ferguson said he wants to use his position to lead by example.
“Bringing encouragement to students and showing them that there is more to life than just ‘do the best I can do’, but ‘show love to those around you and help those who are struggling’,” he said.
Monique Borg who is in year 12 said she hopes to give the younger year levels a positive look out into their secondary schooling.
“Similarly with the older year levels I hope for them to look forward to their final years and finish well. Even if I positively impact as little as one person, I’ll be happy.”
Another year 11 student, Faith Hansen said it’s an honour to be part of the student leadership team.
“I am very excited at the prospect of working collaboratively with the other senate representatives to improve each student’s experience at the college.”
The students will participate in a full-day senate retreat to begin their leadership training and is where the school captains will be chosen.
