TERM 4 • 16 NOVEMBER 2018 • VOLUME 311
From the Principal Mrs Nicola Taylor
As our 2018/2019 Prefecture and Senior Student leaders take up their positions this term, a number of small gestures or more public events have demonstrated their desire to “lead from behind…” to serve, encourage, challenge others to have a go, respect diverse contributions and assist, or simply make things happen. The actions and interactions of student leaders across the College setting an example for others, goes a long way to contribute to the culture of the College, a culture shaped over time but one which should not be taken for granted. The ‘way we do things at PLC Armidale’… This week began with our annual College Remembrance Day Commemoration service led by our Prefecture. This service more poignant reflecting on the Centenary Anniversary of the end of World War One. The ‘Great War’ characterised by the willingness of young Australians, much the same age as many of our girls who gathered around our flag pole in the rose garden on Monday morning to take on the responsibility of active, armed service. A decision borne not just from adolescent bravado, but for many a sense of conviction that they were fighting for a cause and making a difference.
