been discussing. Conversations were about what they had learned and experienced at the different workshops and they were keen to share this with others from their school who had been in a different group. Charlotte Murray from Kirkwood Intermediate said the day had been really fun. “I found out different things about personalities and how to use these to work together as a team,’’ she said. “It certainly opened my mind to new things and to think about ways of people working together.’’ Breens Intermediate principal Mrs Nikki Clarke said the leadership day was an excellent way to tap into the growing awareness of leadership in primary and intermediate schools. “As we are an intermediate, we have to watch our Year 7s closely so we can identify potential leaders in Year 8. Our students were really excited about coming to College today and we have been impressed with the diversity of presenters and the tasks they had the students doing,’’ she says.
“Leadership is as much about taking an idea and going with it as it is about having a title.’’ Darrell Thatcher
