Year 5 Leadership Day – Guest Speakers

On Friday the 24th of November was Leadership Day. As you may know grade five students have signed up for leadership roles at MPS for 2024. All grade five students came out to the middle of the grade five six building to listen to the Mansfield Secondary College 2024 School Captains: Zac, Judah, Pia and Erin. They had lots of tips and stories of how they got to this stage of school captain. 20mins later Bec Sandersen came to talk about how she applied for her first job which was a sparky. It was an interesting story, but her one tip was to do as much work experience as you can.
