Student Leadership

School Captain Speeches

On Tuesday the 15th of November, with nervous anticipation 12 (one absent) Year 8 students took to the stage to present to the rest of the CMS student body why they should be the 2017 School Captain.

The speeches were a huge success and there was a great sense of relief for many of the applicants once they had completed the task. Students discussed not only why they felt they would be a good leader, but also what they would hope to achieve for CMS in 2017. In addition to presenting a speech each of these students have completed a written application and attended an interview with a panel of interviewees. This year’s application process for the 2017 School Captain and Vice-Captain has been a close one and we look forward to sharing the results with you at Presentation Night on Thursday 1st of December.

Inter-School Netball

A great day out!

This week we had a team of year 8 and 9 girls represent the school at the interschool netball competition held at St Phillips college. The girls played great as a team and kept their spirits high throughout the carnival. The girls also versed an elite team from Perth and did very well!

Consul General of United States Visits CMS

On the 15th of November CMS SRC students welcomed Frankie A. Reed, the Consul General of the United States of America and William J. Furnish the Public Affairs Officer to the US Consul General.

Students spoke with the pair about leadership experiences, what makes a strong and committed leader and about international work opportunities. SRC students enjoyed hearing about the travel involved with such a role and eagerly discussed their own leadership aspiration.
