College C0-Captains Message We are the College Co-Captains of 2019 Abigail Clayton and Deborah Nguyen better known as Abi and Deb. As College Co-Captains we have enjoyed working with the Prefect Team on a range of College initiatives. So far we have been very successful in planning and organising events such as International Women’s Day and St Aloysius Day. International Women’s Day was our first big event to organise and we hit the ground running. We were able to put on empowering female music during lunchtimes and we had paper butterflies sent to every pastoral group where they were asked the question ‘which woman inspires you?’ These butterflies were then placed around the school for everyone to see. During our International Women’s Day Assembly, we had female empowerment quotes and purple ribbons set on each person’s chair to receive when they arrived in the hall that day. Students wore the ribbons on their blazers with pride and seemed to enjoy the small activities we did to celebrate International Women’s Day. We are currently working on planning St Aloysius Day which is always a highlight of the school year. We are very excited to see our plans come to life and the reaction of the students during the day which we are

Always Aloysius – Winter Edition, 2019
working very hard to make a celebration of youth and fun. On top of both these days we have hosted several College assemblies as well as our House Swimming and Athletics carnival. The assemblies have been very successful, and we enjoyed receiving such positive feedback about our positive and relational leadership style. We have been very happy with the relationship that has been created among the community which is very tight knit and fun.
We are very happy with the way our Prefect Team has been working so collaboratively both in our meetings and with the College community. We have been overwhelmed with support from the community and are excited to see our next steps as Prefects. Abigail Clayton and Deborah Nguyen 2019 College Co-Captains
