College Co-Captain
My name is Maxine Chau and with Therese-An, it is an honour and a privilege to have the opportunity to represent St Aloysius College as a Co-Captain in 2018. From a personal perspective, my journey here at the College began in 2013 as a Year 7 student. I distinctly remember the strong sense of belonging; for all who have experienced St Aloysius’ in some way, shape or form. It is in this sense of connectedness and in our capacity to ensure all members of the community feel safe, supported and included that makes our College unique. With the realisation that 2018 marks our final year of schooling still yet to fully sink in, I aspire to embrace all challenges and opportunities. This year is not about the 12 of us in the Prefect Team. It’s about ALL Year 12 students. Along with College staff and students, the Year 12 cohort and the Prefect Team, we strive to uphold the values of our College, to emulate the Mercy Values, embody the teachings, and walk in the footsteps of Catherine McAuley.
In some of my favourite words, ‘together, we can achieve great things’.
Therese-An Ho
College Co-Captain
My name is Therese-An and I am deeply humbled to be one of your College CoCaptains alongside Maxine. With an array of events this year, there is so much to look forward to and participate in. The Prefects are very excited to offer what we have to our school community in our final year of secondary school here at St Aloysius College. With it also being the Year of Youth, announced by the Australian Catholic Church to mark the ten-year anniversary of World Youth Day 2008 in Sydney, it is important to recognize that we, as youth, are even more encouraged to immerse and engage ourselves in our community, and I urge every single student to seize every opportunity that is presented to them this year, doing so with integrity, passion and enthusiasm.
I wish every student the utmost success with all they aspire and set out to achieve in this school year, whether academic or extra-curricular, and of course, may you strive for higher things.
