Pastoral Care
Student Representative Council, House Music Conductor and House Council
You can’t get to courage without rumbling with vulnerability.
Brene Brown’s words from her book, Dare to Lead, are very interesting when you think about leadership and what it entails. It takes courage to put yourself forward for a leadership position. It requires discernment, vision, what skills you bring to the role and the inevitable ‘self-doubt’ talk that runs through your mind about being able to do it. When we wrestle with this vulnerability and put ourselves forward for leadership, it can result in exciting possibilities and a chance to grow and learn from the experience. While there are successes, there is also disappointment for some. This too takes courage to put yourself forward with the understanding that the opportunity might not arrive on this occasion. It doesn’t mean that you are not good enough, it simply means, not yet! We have had many students put themselves forward for the Student Representative Council (SRC), House Music Conductor role from Years 10 and 11 and a position on the House Council from Year 11. These roles have now been finalised.
Our School Mission Statement promises to: ‘encourage each student to fulfill her academic and personal potential, in an atmosphere of freedom, care and respect for the individual’. Leadership at Loreto Normanhurst is fair and accessible to all, and is based on the principle of democracy. The school is very clear in its vision and leadership aspirations for students. Students are empowered to use their individual gifts with confidence, creativity and generosity in loving and responsible service to others. We want our students to be courageous in their leadership and self-aware.
Congratulations to the following girls who have been elected to the Student Representative Council (SRC), House Music Conductor role and respective House Councils.
