Student Leadership
Student Leadership at WAC is focused on a servant leadership model.
Students complete a nomination for the Captain roles. Student involvement in all areas of the College is reviewed as part of the process. The involvement of students in Community Service activities and College Events is highly regarded.
A vote that encompasses their direct peer group, wider peer group and the staff of the College is used as the process for electing the Captains.
Year 7 Camp
The timing of this Camp is specifically allocated to foster relationship building at the commencement of Year 7.
With a number of students coming into the College at this entry point, it provides an opportunity to develop friendships and unite the new Year 7 group. The Camp builds on skills developed at the Year 5 Camp but also provides opportunities for those students new to the College to engage in these pursuits to which they may have had limited exposure. Christian Discovery and Outdoor Recreation are again prominent features of this program.
