STUDENT leaders from the Greater Shepparton Secondary College (GSSC) were officially recognised last week, for what will be the final year the College is split between three campuses.
Students Caitlyn Glasson and Ben Okely were inducted as college co-captains, with Stephanie Fleming and Georgia Waser serving as college vice captains.
In an investiture assembly at the Wanganui Campus on Friday, the student body was addressed by Greater Shepparton City councillor, Rob Priestly, who congratulated the appointed student leaders, while acknowledging those not formally recognised.
“If you are one of the majority of the kids not getting a pin today, listen up: You don’t need the title to be a leader. Leaders are not always at the top of the tree. What you do for others, makes the difference, and that’s leadership,” he said.
“You might push back on racism – that’s leadership. You might be a friend to someone who has few – that’s leadership. You might choose to extend a hand when it would be easier to say a harsh word – that’s leadership.
“It’s about speaking out and defending ideas and principals that are for the greater good.”
Campus and house captains were also inducted from across the school.
