Today we had the privilege of listening to our Year 5 students present their speeches for leadership in 2026. Over the past weeks our Year 5 students have prepared letters expressing their interest in leadership positions. It was wonderful to hear their vision for leadership, hope for the future, as well as how they can make a difference at SJB. Whilst this is an exciting time for our Year 5 students there is no doubt that this also brings some nerves too.
It was a delight to meet with our Year 5 students to discuss what it means to be a leader, the expectations that come with being a leader and the opportunities that present for them as leaders. Our Year 4 and 5 students will have the opportunity to listen to the speeches from our candidates and then place their votes for who they believe should be appointed to the various leadership positions.
As we move through the leadership application process we recognise that some students will be successful in receiving their first choice of leadership positions, whilst for others there may be a little disappointment if they receive a role that was not their first choice. As a school we are proud of all students for putting forward their best effort and receiving their respective roles and we know that they will do an outstanding job.
We wish all our Year 5 students all the best as we prepare to announce the Year 6 Leadership positions in the near future. Good luck everyone.
