CAPTAIN ' S REPORT 2017 has been an amazing year so far . It has just flown by , I can ' t believe we ’ re already halfway through .

I have many great experiences coming into Riverview , especially this year in 2017 . Some of the highlights that I have experienced in Terms 1 and 2 include going away on a trip to Adelaide for a leadership conference , which was one of the greatest experiences of my life , as well as being given the opportunity for activities like speech and drama , debating , STEM and a whole lot more .

Another big highlight for me was being elected for both Class and School

Captain by my peers . I will do my best to represent Regis and Riverview in the best way possible , and also look at making changes that would benefit the entire school . Lots of boys have asked me to try to bring back fidget spinners , but I can ' t see that happening .

The Regis Student Leaders for 2017

In Term 2 of 2017 , the Regis Campus student leaders from Year 6 travelled to Adelaide to participate in the Annual Ignatian Youth Leadership Conference with peers from Jesuit and partner schools from South Australia and Victoria . Eight young men were accompanied by Mr Smith , Ms Moore and Ms Brayan , travelling on an early morning flight to meet their fellow Ignatian student leaders in what has become an important student formation experience .

While the conference attendees were granted opportunities to socialise and visit the Norwood Campus of Saint Ignatius ’ College Adelaide , the highlight of the experience may have been the visit to Sevenhill in South Australia ’ s Clare Valley , where the students enjoyed a tour of the historic site and celebrated Mass together in the Saint

Aloysius Chapel . Having returned from their conference , the Year 6 leaders have already begun putting into place some of the initiatives they devised in collaboration with their friends from Melbourne and Adelaide .
