Jarrod Ong - Outgoing Student BOT Rep for 2019/2020

Wow. What a great learning opportunity. If I reflect back upon the time I first heard the news I was to become the Student Representative on the Board of Trustees (BOT) for 2020, In my wildest of imaginations would I have thought I would have experienced so many valuable lessons for my future.

I initially put my hand up for this role to serve the College in a different way. The board has given me insights into how an organisation is administered, how to effectively lead a team, and most importantly how to be strong in my opinions and ideas. I credit all of these learnings to the professional but engaging environment the other board members have created this past year. I want to highlight that the members of the Colleges’ board are of utmost quality, with expertise and capability in a range of different fields. This College is tremendously blessed.

As I move on beyond my time at this College, I leave this school in the hands of the new Student Representative, Josia Vickers. Stay strong in your ideas and opinions and do not be afraid to stumble on your learning journey. I am confident that Josia Vickers will uphold the great qualities that resonate with an effective Student Representative.

Why did you put your name forward to be the Student Board of Trustees Representative?

My teacher, Miss Rombouts, suggested that I should put my name forward because I would be good for the job. I also think that this role will give me many opportunities to learn about leadership and life skills for the future.

What would it look like for you to be successful in this role?

I’m far from perfect. However, to be successful in this role would mean that by the end of my services, I would have done everything I could to represent the students and contribute to the board.
