Woodend School student presented with Sir Peter Blake Leadership Award In the latter half of Term 2, Woodend School Senior Student Leaders completed a Student Leadership programme with the Sir Peter Blake Trust. The Sir Peter Blake Leader assigned to the Woodend School team was Erin Jackson, who was
an instrumental leader with the Volunteer Student Army after the Canterbury earthquakes and, who also recently started her own not-for-profit business. Erin had lots of stories and inspirational ideas to encourage the students to dream big! In the final assembly of Term 2, Woodend School student Ella Spark (far left) was presented with a Sir Peter Blake Leadership Award. Tracy Cromwell from Westpac Bank, sponsor of the Young Leader Awards, made the presentation. Ella was chosen as the worthy recipient by the Year 7/8 staff, and the Senior Management team, due to her dedication to her leadership role, as well as her overall attitude towards helping others. Ella did not know there was a Young Leader Award, so she was extremely surprised when the announcement was made. Â A number of people contacted Ella to congratulate her after the assembly, and she said her parents were extremely happy and surprised as well. Continues on page 10 >>>
