The Emerging Leaders Awards afternoon was held on Tuesday 26th of November 2019.
This event was an occasion to congratulate the amazing work that has been done by the Emerging Leaders students in 2019. Certificates were awarded to those students present on the day that had achieved an incentive level (Bronze, Silver or Gold). The three pillars that the students have to meet in order to achieve an Incentive Level are: Attendance (minimum 90%), Academic Improvement (minimum attendance of homework class or tutoring) and Engagement (minimum of volunteering/participation in school/sport/cultural/community events).
Students were asked up to the stage where they shook the hands of Krista O’Connor from the Catholic Education Office of Townsville and received their certificate from David McNeale, our School Principal.
We also had 4 students share an Emerging Leaders 2019 testimony. Ayana Jackson-Lifu and Aaliyah Coleman in Year 8 spoke about their journey to achieving the Bronze Incentive level. Tayla Laffin shared her journey to the Silver level, and Hilary McKenzie shared how she managed to achieve the Gold Incentive level.
We had a great turn out of students, parents, family and staff and at the close of the awards, everyone was invited to stay behind to have some food, drinks and a yarn.
Thank you to everyone who assisted in making the afternoon a success and we look forward to another successful year of this amazing Incentive Program in 2020.
