Melton’s leaders of tomorrow were treated to a full day workshop at Eynesbury Homestead on February 21.
The eight students from Melton Christian College chosen from the program, who represent the school’s senate group, were invited for the near 12-hour program, which included group activities and speeches from guests.
The school’s year house captains also took part in the program.
Melton Christian College runs the workshop each year to help prepare its new batch of leaders for the upcoming school year.
The college’s senate is expected to take part in coordinating events such as the swimming carnival, as well as providing motivation for students to engage in the school’s activities.
The students are elected to their positions through a voting process by senior staff members.
Year 11/12 coordinator Barry Ibrahim said he was glad to see the students embrace the opportunity.
“They’re quite a vocal and talkative group,” Mr Ibrahim said.
“It’s always a great opportunity for the sharing of ideas and thoughts, and the students can provide their own feedback too.”
Mr Ibrahim said it was a focus of the school’s to make sure it provided leadership pathways to its students.
“It’s about developing their character for the future,” he said.
“It’s not just about the title. We really encourage them to work together to lead and support the other students, and build some lasting memories in the process.”
