IT is hard to believe that 13 years of schooling has almost come to an end and we will soon embark on a new chapter of our lives.

In some ways, not much will change as our team of six aspires to a tertiary pathway in 2024. Our VCE books will be replaced with uni texts, our usual classes will become lectures and our school-based and external assessments will become credit points as we work towards obtaining our degrees.

But in other ways, so much will be new and different as we leave our home towns, our families and our close-knit group of friends at school we look forward to seeing every day.

We have been honoured to represent GSSC’s three neighbourhoods and student body as College Captains.

A highlight was our inaugural GSSC’s got Talent Show and Spirit Week. Both of these events aimed to build a sense of fun and connectedness across year levels.

Through our fortnightly lunch meetings with our Executive Principal, Mrs O’Brien and our assembly and event preparations with Neighbourhood Principals, Ms Utber, Mr Bolton and Ms Souter we have valued the access to leadership to share our ideas, challenges and student voice. This has also allowed us an opportunity to expand our own leadership skills and we thank this team for their support and guidance over the year.
