Announced at a recent assembly, a round of applause sounded out for Ivy Henderson as she was bestowed the honour of school captain. Ivy was named alongside Tory Wilson, who will take on vice-captaincy duties.
House captains were revealed, with a Student Representative Committee and future leadership observers also made public during the special event.
School council president Greg Brooks and principal Geoff Weppner were on hand to present badges to those named at the special event, capping an exciting occasion for the learning facility.
“It was really pleasing to have our senior students presented with their badges of office by our School Council president Greg Brooks in front of the whole school assembly, with proud parents also in attendance,” Mr Weppner said.
“We are hoping that this is the first in a number of successful opportunities for our school community to engage in the life of the school, after such a disrupted year in 2020.”

‘Healthy Minds and Healthy Bodies’ played out at Cobram Sports Stadium as the children engaged in a variety of games hosted by Skillzone.
Following the physical fun, the group moved on to Thompsons Beach were students tucked into a healthy lunch which included fruit from local Cobram business Mantovani’s Produce.
“This was a perfect way to kick-start our Quest this term,” Mr Weppner said.
“Going away on an excursion motivates the students and assists in their enthusiasm to learn about this very important topic.
“This was the first excursion we’ve been able to have as a whole school after last year’s COVID-19 disruption, which made it really special.”
