On Monday 24 March James Moore – Rydal House Captain, Alex Woolley – Kingswood House Captain and James Favos – School Captain, all went on a trip with Mrs Gough to the Entertainment Center for The National Young Leaders Day.

There were five speakers that came to talk to us about leadership as we took notes in our booklets.

The first speaker, Mike Martin, the Executive Director of the Halogen Foundation, spoke about influence. Our second speaker was Creel Price,  a millionaire entrepreneur, who talked about initiative, resilience, integrity, empowerment, self- belief and vision. Then there was Brett Lee (not the cricketer) who was a detective and he talked about online leadership and making good choices. Jess Fox, who went to the Olympics for white water canoe slalom, talked about making goals and how everything is possible. Finally, there was Nathan Hindmarsh the rugby league legend who talked about not giving up even when times are tough and giving things your best shot.

Overall this was a fantastic experience for all of the 6000 kids and teachers from schools all over Australia and we all learnt a lot!!!
